    Competition w/c 9 April

    Hi Sharky, Chartman, It would be unfair in many respects to the others, as I have the advantage of hindsight, I am happy to be disqualified from this competition. I can honestly say that I hit the close button at 9:15 on Monday with ARM showing at 222.75. Had it worked then that would have been...

    Competition w/c 9 April

    Hi, I didn't have the opening price (I thought it was 244, but 239 is correct) I was trying to close at 222.75, which would have given 10%. I'm happy to live with it ARM will go down 10% or more this week. The price at close is 255, up on the day. It's difficult with the prices, without? It's...

    Hi Chartman, The oening values were showing zero, I closed as normal, received the confirmation message, which was accepted, except it displayed the Close? message rather than the close pending. This indicated that the close hd not been acepted, Hope this helps Regards Joe

    FAO Sharky re Opening mid prices

    Hi Sharky, Just when you thought it was safe ..... I've closed NTX at 280 from an opening of 322.5 although it shows 0 profit. Perhaps you could make suitable amendments whenever. Thanks Joe

    I WANT A MARKET CRASH

    Amazingly we all get mesmerised by forecasters, analysts and false views of the value of a share. I recently saw one analyst review the valuation of ARM and suggest a downgrade from £10 to £8 at a time when the price was less than £4 and it went down! Every so often we all have to return to...

    Capital gains

    You're right Darth, but I would hope that capital gains would be treated in the same manner as Building Society deposits etc. It's difficult in my book to treat interest in one way because the bank invests in shares and pays a return, as opposed to gaining a return by directly investing in...
