OK on that basis I have about 10% of capital of my "active" portfolio in AU. at the moment.
Generally trend is upwards but I see resistance around where it is at the moment, and again in the mid 1600's.
Interestingly I was just reading some broker views on this who have set target prices between 1300p and 2000p. I don't take much notice of them, but thought it was quite a wide spread.0 -
Oh I'm really tempted to sell REL for 13% profit, but it's not part of plan“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0

You could always set a new plan on another share and transfer the money and/or split the capital and profits.
I always figure thats a good reason to sell when theres good prospects elsewhere

well I will be glad to get back to normal next week, I can`t stand all this `doing nothing` malarky. Eating, drinking, nursing a cold, watching rubbish tv, as well as making sure that all the festivities `just happen`. I`m shattered!!
UKX now has to hang onto 5400/5500 for an extended amount of time before we can assume that there is no backing away from the recovery. My own feeling is that it will happen over 2010. (note: not TA, just a gut feeling)
Personally, the great portfolio is at an all time high but it does feel pretty ethereal0 -
Just wondering if Tonygee will do the honour of creating a new UK Stockmarket 2010 and beyond... thread, or perhaps we open the scope a bit and just have Stockmarkets 2010 and beyond...Personal Responsibility - Sad but True

Hope everyone had a happy holiday period. Markets will be back in full swing this week. SPX so far has recorded an intraday high of 1130 whilst managing to stage a breakout of the prior 4-6 week range, approx 1085 - 1118. This breakout was pulled back late on the last trading day of the year penetrating back below the 1118 level to close @ 1115. The breakout also brought the index into contact with a long term downtrend line established along a line joining the all time highs of August '07 and the May '08 swing high. This area also coincides with the 50% retracement of the entire move down for the S&P.
Obviously the December period was very low volume trading and thus I think little can be made of either the breakout or the pullback which bears may argue represents a failed breakout, (possible) technical indicators are currently bearish on daily and weekly charts and show divergences which sets us up for a cautious start to 2010. On any continued pullback during the first week it would be important for the prior range low of 1085 to hold, otherwise we could see something more meaningful, in the order of 10%, but we will have to see how the big players line up over the coming few days.Hope for the best.....Plan for the worst!

Happy New Year all.
Currently marvelling at MXP and EMED. Both doing me proud at the moment.
Reckon STT should start us our 2010 thread as he's one of the most prolific posters in this one.0
