That one directly above is called a heat map. https://www.digitallook.com has them and doesn't cost anything for the basic access.0 -
Have been keeping an eye on Mothercare for the last few weeks has done very well, might have missed the boat, but with the recent announcement about the UK birthrate rising there might be room for further improvement."When the Government borrows, the citizen has to save".

Yea a good chart should make things easier, its only another way of looking at data.
DL will do a graph of just about any company stat, shares issued is one of the most relevant to banking stocks
I was just reading a load of tips. All by questor as I like their thinking, it matches my own views I think though I dont really know the main guys background really.

Anyway they recommend Tesco and Ive thought about them for a while.
You say RBS in your list but Tesco and RBS setup a personal finance bank a while ago and Tesco bought them out completely last summer for obvious reasons.
So as a growth prospect Tesco I think is more likely to have positives. Its underperformed the FTSE in this rally mostly because its also only fallen 5% in the last year and their dividend is good also.
RBS also setup direct line in 85 I think, they were better at growing companies then buying up stuff.
They wont doing either for a while now, they are selling off some major foreign assets. Standard chartered are a possible buyer of their asian assets, another good alternative.
A play on a distressed seller is to invest in the buyer of those assets, applicable to many companies reckon
RBS wont be growing so its just a recovery play which is harder to judge I guess
I remembered why I was watching Cairn, its a play on india and an oil growth stock. Worth looking at
Also Aggreko is a mobile power supplier on an international scale. Not an obvious choice but it seems very likely to benefit from development in some of the worlds more emerging countries with challenging terrain and patchy infrastructure.
Unfortunately Ive probably noticed this one too late mostly, feels like it'd be worth paying attention to imo, long term. Much more interesting then a conventional utility play but also a cautiously managed company apparentlyPower Generation
Aggreko has the world’s largest fleet of rental generators, backed by the support of over 2,500 people in 28 countries from 118 locations. Our generators range in size from 10 KW to 2 MW, and can be used for applications ranging from simple standalone power packages up to 100 MW power stations for grids. We also supply loadbanks and a complete range of accessories.
Our generators are purpose-built to our own design in our factory in Scotland to the most exacting engineering and environmental standards.

Was just wondering if any of the regulars here had any suggestions for charting/TA packages for UK shares. I can't at present justify spending a lot.
So far I've tried:
Quotetracker - links in to ADVFN and MoneyAM data feeds on the UK side. Seems pretty good and is actually a trading platform (but doesn't work with any UK brokers). Needs registration ($60 p.a.) for full functionality - for historic charts over 6 mths and intraday over 2 days. Doesn't seem to allow programming of own indicators, but has more built in than you can shake a stick at.
Simply Chart - EOD charting package from MoneyAM. I'm finding it not particularly intuitive to use and it is strictly end of day, but seems powerful. Again as far as I can tell it doesn't have any facility to program your own indicators (£10 p/m).
Anyone recommend anything else?0 -
I dont pay for anything extra myself but intraday data going back some months would be useful.
I was just reading someone saying they use IG index charts. Its free to setup an account I think but its spreadbetting rather then share dealing so data might be slightly different
If your considering end of day data it should be a vast improvement I should think

One to watch tomorrow RSA (RI expected)
Rather dreary share but reasonable DIV(if held)
Sub £1 would be good entry
There has been talk of YELL RI for ages but a few hundred million is small compared to massive debts0
