    SL and BARC goes exdiv on Wed I dont know Aviva but I'd say theres nothing greatly changed to their life insurance business

    I just dont want to sell anything to buy them, I got some Heritage shares today because best case the company can almost afford to buy itself.
    Worst case the world needs its energy reserves but DOW is plunging right now. Obamas speech didnt go down well

    6% down is bad but 2008 crash requires a strong Dollar and its not

    These markets are oversold, too much too fast.

    It is nice to see some sign of the rapid drop stalling but I did read something from the Elliot Wave theory bods who were counting this up move as the 4th wave with another down wave to come and finish off the correction (or maybe bear market)

    I got brave or stupid and shovelled in some big money Friday and yesterday, but holding back some for another bash if it FTSE gets near the next support level.

    Ben speaks today hence market is guessing on positives. Its enough to have people buying I guess

    I just accidentally typo'd and bought ten times more EMED then I meant, cant say its not a cheap price anyway. This is below the excellent buy I got at xmas and it doubled before more regulation delays


    Also bought HOC and sold it again on its rise. Holding some longer term, silver apparently is in a good spot right now for a rise considering all this worry will likely bring forth more easy money ie. Ben


    FTSE is playing with 5000 if it loses the fight then 4500 is the next major place but we have recovered around here a few times now I think

    I've bought more recently too.
    If will power alone can make this a success then it'll come good. God knows I'm willing it with every fibre! This now has the potential to make me more money than I've made in the last 3 years. Of course it also has the potential to carry on being delayed and wither on the vine, as does my cash.
    I'm being greedy whilst others are fearful.
    It all hangs on when the election in Andalusia will be IMO. Grin seems to be hanging tough for spring 2012, so I'm reckoning on early 2012 (poss v late 2011), but any move to the national elction dates will see this approved earlier.

    Will wait for another drop to 8p for more if its not too soon.

    I missed out on Barclays for £1 a share the last crisis not so long ago around £3 I had feared they could fall below £1 no one knows & in reality its hard to be brave when everythings falling
    but get to a quid & Im in.

    Best share in my SIPP this year was Afren on a whim I sold half @ £1.60 then more @ £1.50 now theyre 85p ish Im fairly sure oil will be going up long term so for me it is a buy near 80p
    My only tip to anyone interested really is just trust your own instincts.
    Theres only two rules to remember
    1) Im always right
    2) See rule 1

    Greggs is a fair indicator of the retrenchement of consumer spend. Market is therefore right to reprice shares across the board. As future growth is likely to be subdued for some time.
