I forgot that ETX Capital gave me a £15 bonus at Christmas.

With £4 already in there (no doubt the result of some dubious trading in 2008) that gives me the princely sum of £19 as trading capital

I thought I might see if I could run it up into something significant as I have done before although I have to say I've never started this low and have literally no margin for error whatsoever!

Well, I've decided to buy £1 per tick in Thomas Cook Group which is a UK FTSE 100 listed share at 180.

Why TCG.l??

Becuase they sorted you out with a nice week in Corfu??

or was it a pin yesterday?

shocked you're not fiddling with RBS or suchlike...

. . . and I'm shocked they gave you a £15 Chrissy present. They didn't give me anything! That said, the bottle of claret from the comp' was by far and away the best bottle of wine I drank in all of 2008 - VERY nice indeed.

They gave me a pressie tim and I posted the link to claim it. In future hang on every word I say and you won't have problems.

There was a 3.28% rally in Thomas Cook yesterday, despite news that bookings for the summer season at its German operations looked set to come in below last year's level, down by a double-digit percentage rate.

The chart shows a sharp expansion in volume as the price closed into resistance.

Shares are up another 3.19% in early trade this morning (not shown on this EOD chart).

I am looking for 200p and will see how the price reacts there.

Don't miss it for a tick!
