Missing the boat
As I only decided to come back to the market less than two weeks ago, I missed the boat on LSE.
FT's Lex column says "For the LSE to be worth its current multiple of 15 times capital employed, competitors will have to be asleep and its customers milked, in perpetuity."
Can you see anyone with this type of reasoning in the chart?!

Update:
Macquarie signals end to LSE bid
The LSE appears to have fought off Macquarie's hostile bid
Australia's Macquarie Bank has all but ditched its faltering takeover bid for the London Stock Exchange after failing to win enough support for the move.

Barclays and Lloyds TSB will be reporting their profits in the coming week. The pre-tax figures for them, according to the FT are expected to be 5,2 and 3,35 billion respectively.
Next will be HSBC's turn with the expected profit of 11,6 billion.
Both BARC and LLOY's charts look bullish. The one for HSBC looks a bit odd though.
I would appreciate if anyone can share their opinions on these three.
Thanks,

I, tentatively ,agree but am not sure, in my case, who's fault it is as I have a serious memory problem ( at least, my computer has
).Looks as if I may have to get a new one. If there is a shortage of memory Java can be an sob on any site, perhaps that's his problem, too.I live abroad so I am not keen on going through all the work involved to change to another dealer. As long as I am the only one losing my money, I'll stay with them.
Seriously, I don't advise day trading with spread betting firms. I trade London shares overnight
and have no serious complaints.

They say that confessions are good for the soul, so here's one.
You are probably cursing that you were not short of DMGT last Thursday (or were you? )
I had a swinging time with that one but the cable broke. Trying to pick myself up this morning.

Hi Split,
I were on holiday last Thursday, so I 'missed' that one. I might not have spotted the chance anyway. At the moment, I totally rely on ADVFN for data and I won't be an early bird. But I am willing to pick up any sizeable party 'left-over'
What do you mean 'the cable broke'?!
Have a good day where you are!

I went long CLDN this morning with CMC at 1929 with stop loss at 1889, the nearest they allowed. My March contract will be rolled on if I don't close it by March 14.
I had wanted a stop at around 1896-1897 but they want me to lose at least 40 pounds plus the 20 points plus spread if I do lose. Nice one! I may never trade a non FTSE 100 again.
CMC's quote was 1905-1929 with the bid slightly better than Worldspreads. Well, 6 points to be exact.
And now I agree with someone's comment that some CMC staff could not care less about taking care of customers. One person at the helpdesk talked to me in a voice that told me he's a bored employee and is looking for another job. But then he still did what I told him to do. Just.
Good trading,
Hung

I closed a trade this morning with Fins. Start to finish 65 seconds. Slow, I agree, but it is partly my computer's fault.

You are not in Vietnam by any chance, Split
I've been to Saigon and Haiphong. Were you born then? The French were there. Tankers, 1953-1961. Mooochas problemas!
Now I'm in Spain.

My friends went to Tennerife ( I hope I spell it right, though 'hope is a sign of error'
) over Xmas and they really enjoyed it.I was born in Vietnam three years before the Vietnam war ended. Just moved to London in 2000 when I got my current job.
I've only been to Saigon twice myself. I like the all year round hot weather except when it's too hot. People in VN are joking that Ho Chi Minh used to say 'Saigon is the only place in Vietnam where you can have fun.' May be he did say that.
Good talking to you.
Later,
Hung
