Tara Taylor.

Came in 3rd brother. Obviously not a 'mule'. A nice little eachway punt and you would have cleaned up. Got any more?

You should be buying natural resource stocks as prices are low as at the moment, and planning on holding them for the long term. My dividend returns on mining stocks has done me nicely on the reinvestment side this year and the stock itself will be back up and rising in a couple of years.

Bye bye mortgage.

Get a metatrader demo with ODL Markets.
That gives you realtime fx, indices, commodities and some stocks.

I also use NinjaTrader for futures.

Good luck to you, but looks like the oil price is doing exactly what it did a few years after the 70s Opec shock to me. I.e. stagnation under recession, ehen it comes out of that, who knows

You say that but the oil price has been lower than now. What's to say lack of demand, makes it fall further?

Look where it was in the 80s and 90s recessions

i can't see it rising significantly for a few years

Agree - but we have something different in this situ- The collective economies are basically doing there best to spend money for regeneration [public and wider] We will not see the effects of this starting teill around October I would say as it filters through - but this will require Energy [Oil].

Again - its a punt on probability - but I have a good stop loss.

Lets see!

You don't get real time prices until you come to sell shares you own. But you don't have to proceed with your sell quote.

Well, I tend to trade lighter when I have made my days profit.
But I also trade lighter if I have a loss that day.

Good days can end in disaster if you get trigger happy.

Trouble is when they go down 20% and you need 4 years of dividends to get back to 1% down.

True, but these shares haven't lost 20% from current value ever. Would be a real sheet storm if they did

[sasguru]

Made my money for the day. I think I'll reward myself with the afternoon off

PMJunkie and Saguru, enjoy the rest of your day in the office

you'll lose it all tomorrow.
