If however you do really have spare cash wait a few weeks until either a central Bank announces more quantitative easing, the ECB makes a decision that sticks and the market has settled down for a few days. Personally I doubt that will be this year.

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostI got in yesterday & Friday(bit early now obvious). £56k invested, worth £49500 at this exact moment. Looks like that'll slide down as well.
Just put a transfer in from another interest account for additional funds but not sure if I'll use it. Think I'll give 4800 a miss and wait for 4500 and below. I'm not overly concerned as the money is purely for playing on the stock market.
(Got one share which has is a small oil company which is expected to go to 36p. It's stayed at 12p since last week even though they've struck oil. The down market too strong for it)
I guess we'll have to wait until 2:30 to see how what the US really think.

Originally posted by eek View Postgive another 2 minutes and your buying opportunity of 4800 will appear.
I was thinking of buying at 4500 but as that looks like lunchtime I'm going to give it a miss.

Time they did the same tonight if it kicks off again. See the turk and bangladeshi response last night for inspiration.
It's the price you pay for living in a massive tuliphole alongside the scum-class. You have to be prepared to defend your family, homes, and businesses while the rozzers scratch their heads awaiting orders from above.
I bet baseball bat sales in the capital are soaring as we type. If they haven't all been looted by 'the enemy'.

A group burst past security and started chanting at the bottom of reception. A dozen or so of the city boys jumped in the lifts, came down and then laid into the protestors giving them a good kicking before they turned tails and legged it. Never underestimate them barrow boys.
