I'm not familiar with the specific companies, but I'd imagine the defence sector and anything to do with supplying the defence sector will continue to do well. However - every dollar spent on tanks, guns, bullets etc is a dollar not spent on debt reduction, education, healthcare, replacing...

I guess it depends on the jobs data out today. If it looks like your Fed's going to lift rates again to try keep inflation in check, that'll kill the rally any rally in its tracks. Conversely, if the jobs data is worse than expected, rates probably won't need to rise again so the market will...

Also - I'm not convinced about this being a double bottom, because we haven't seen increased volume on the advance from the 2nd trough, and the volume on the approach to the resistance line has also been unconvincing. I'm not sure there's enough there to see us clear, and hold above, 11243

I'm a newbie to technical analysis and I'm constantly amazed at how support/resistance and fibonacci levels seem to hold. Take the Dow for example. It closed almost exactly at the green resistance line in OldSchoolWavers chart above - 11242.59. Freaky.

well I'm considering moving to IG or Man financial - thanks ns1000. They're both available to NZ residents so no problems there. Just have to decide between the two!

I recently signed up with CMC markets - who have just opened here in New Zealand, but I'm not entirely happy. Their prices don't mirror the real world, which means your stops can get hit even though the physical share didn't go anywhere near the price the CFD did. Does anyone have any...

OK for New Zealand, try http://www.asbsecurities.co.nz/section864.asp? where you can subscribe to a number of reports that will be emailed to you, free or www.nbr.co.nz Also try www.sharechat.co.nz for Australia - you could start with the business section of www.smh.com.au subscribe to the...

I still didn't quite understand, but you had me convinced it was possible. so I went back to the help file and the way to do is is: create a text file with a .SYM extension, containing all the ticker codes you want (like AAL.L, BLT.L, etc) In the downloader, create a new folder and populate it...

The reason I want this is because I'm trading CFDs and the ones available to me for the UK market are only the FTSE100 and FTSE250 constituents. The other >2600 listings on the UK market are untradeable for me, so I don't want to run system tests and scans on stocks I can't trade anyway.

Thanks - but that doesn't help. Page 40 of the manual does have the instructions for what Im wanting to do, but Metastock and the Reuters data feed - in their infinite wisdom - haven't seen fit to break the FTSE100 or FTSE250 indices down by stock as they have done with the US markets. (see...

hi Does anyone know how I can separate the ftse100 stocks out from the list of >3000 LSE stocks that Metastock lists? So that I can run the system tester only against these 100 stocks. I have a text file that lists all the ticker codes for the companies that constitute the ftse100. I think...

I presume that last line was supposed to read " it will be surprising if the market does NOT follow suit for the remainder of 2006. "
