Whens the next date Royal Mail could enter the FTSE 100? And how do I find out when and how much dividened payments will be?

I currently have a number of stocks in my watchlist that are looking like good buys. I'm a little cautious though as it looks at the FTSE 100 index is soon to reach resistance and may come back down a fair bit. When your picking stocks how much importance do you place on the technical anaylsis...

I use Sharescope

Hey, I think Lloyds are a good buy at the moment, I have an open long position that expires in June. Used to trade RBS & Barclays too but haven't had much time to look at their charts recently. I think it will be interesting to see what the FTSE does from here. If it breaks through 6100...

:yawn: yeah no problem One day i'll be as good as you :D I was never naive enough to believe its GOT to go down though

Ah ok, cheers I guess not then. I did check a couple of sites to double check the high but they said the same as sharescope....:confused: But then it hits me... these prices would only be the UK open hours

Just a quick one, had a short position on the FTSE 100 today and was closed out at 5963. According to my sharescope charts the FTSE high today was 5949. Now i know their prices aren't supposed to be 100% accurate but isn't this is a bit far out? Is it worth contacting them to complain or not?

Agree, I was in at Lloyds at 34p. I'm thinking it will get to atleast double that in the near future. Another stock to look at buying and holding: Firstgroup PLC Got in at 193p as it bounced off of support. If it breaks through 215 i'll be adding to my position and holding until we see the 250...

Unless of course it is just a punt and your prepared to lose the money. Then gamble away and enjoy the ride :)

I'd stay away if I were you. From a technical stance its definitely not a buy in my book. As has been pointed out its not exactly new news so the news has probably been factored into the price already.

Hey Think-it Thru What are your thoughts on FGP (First Group)? Obviously been in the news alot recently and their share price has dropped alot in a year or so. Its just reached a crucial support point at around 180 pence. I'll be watching this one closely and if there's any substantial reaction...

Yeah kind of agree with Barjon. Trade the daily charts of ftse 100 stocks. Get a subscription of sharescope and scan through the stocks at the start of every week. Note which are near support and resistance and look for a reaction. Risk 2-3% of your account per trade. Spreadbet with IG Index...

I think your underestimating how hard this game is. I'm also down a couple of K ( which is alot of money to me) but I've lost it over a period of two years and learnt hell of alot. Stop trading lower time frames, stop using indicators and stop trying to make money. Just simply study price...

I've been learning to trade for about 2 years now. I trade FTSE 100 stocks and I still don't play with stocks valued at over 500p

Yeah. Be careful!
