UK Stockmarket 2009 and beyond

[Deleted User]

no JB. I don`t get wedded to a stock. I`ll be looking for another like xta though, very big cap and no concern about the yield, and at the bottom or close to, of its range. I have some work to do on sharescope charts this am. I may well rebuy xta as it is a quick mover and I`ll put a limit buy in if thats the case. I can`t sit here hour after hour this morning as I have soup to make and lanterns to charge

oh lol re genteel!!! my brain gets stuck in spellings sometimes

wow quite a move on emed today, is it positive now because of gold rising?

I have to say I envy people who can trade ranges. Of course buy low and sell high but its not that easy when the prices of those points keep changing.

Barclays 270 to 300 was a recent range but anyone who sold at 300 might be regretting it right now, maybe it'll go to 330 and beyond

I'm with you there. Following your own rules can definitely be a challenge!

I've heard this is a good read on the subject of trading psychology, I think Kittie has mentioned it before (I've not read it but it's on the list of to do's) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trading-Zone-Mark-Douglas/dp/0735201447/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262792413&sr=8-1

that is most definitely a good book to read and re-read

Nor me. I've been in and out of EMED twice since the big "end of summer" anticipation. I do tend to follow a smaller number of stocks than most. I feel I get to "know them" better that way. I'm still new to this, it's easier for me to research and know fewer stocks. And I guess I'm just trying to stick to what's worked so far...... removing that emotion CD was talking about.

Nothing to do with gold IMO. It's all about PRT. Seems like theres been a clear up of a court case involving the old owners, the courts endorsing the deal the Junta did. But more to do with rising copper prices, (the pay back time on current copper prices is massively shortened), and of course new year optimism on the permits again, with a clearer timetable than before on what is needed.

S&P500 significant support would now be in the 1115 - 1120 area, up from 1085.

Looking for DAX to hold the 5930 - 5960 level on the dailies otherwise a trip to the trendline at 5800 is on the cards

JB do you ever read this board on MF, some good ideas and analysis over the years.

AU was about shorting apparently

The software company took the wooden spoon on Tuesday amid worries it might miss its 2009 revenues target because it had failed to secure any big deals in the fourth quarter.
Paul Morland, an analyst at Astaire Securities, advised clients to short the stock ahead of Autonomy's full-year results, arguing the company would need to land a deal worth at least $20m (£12.5m) in the fourth quarter to meet market expectations.

In the mining sector, Xstrata was a major talking point as an investor in Glencore's bonds talked up the prospect of a merger of the two businesses.

All the banks previously dull over december have reversed and are out performing probably more then they deserve to.
I think lloyds is good for 60 but not certain beyond that because so many new shares makes it confusing!


I think this chart is retrospectively adjusted price per share which I hardly ever see done

Aminex unstoppable, where will it end?

I`ve been at it again :cool:

I sold some BG, the shares I bought on 5th jan and made £880. The portfolio is at another all time high so I followed my instincts and took the bull by the horns and sold all my stocks. No nervousness or anything or any real TA just a thing that this might be a last sigh. AZN made £1091 since 6th jan

I wasn`t even going to look today but the limit sell triggered on the BG portion and then I noticed that a lot of stuff is at the top of their ranges

I am always happy with the bit in the middle, as long as I don`t look when it climbs ever higher after selling

Heck I make work for myself. I`ll have to do limit buy prices later today as the carp % on cash isn`t worth anything
