That was a nice erratic day. It's down, it's up, it's down.
Managed to buy in at just after eight this morning and even with capitulation this afternoon still up on the day. Still nursing a hangover from midweek.
Will now sit tight until we see 4800.

I think once the bottom falls out of this form of money making the country shall be in pretty pickle.

Most banks lost control of their software years ago, it really turned pear shaped for most in the late 90s when they let mainframe developers loose on massive java projects after 1 week of training and a couple of copies of java world read on the bog.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostNot RBS, but it has an IT infrastructure with 2500 applications of which half are supposedly not used, but they can't switch them off because they don't know what will happen; most of the app admins were sacked, app admin was moved to India and is now carried out by people with no functional knowledge. Money disappears in some of those apps and nobody knows how to find it. Luckily, up to now it's only been small sums that they can compensate. Luck is a bit like wine; great while it lasts, but runs out.
What I want to kinow is this; Is that you in the picture playing rugby?
