this_prisoner_is_opting_out Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Financial stocks lead the decline . . . . . . Lets hold off with the Black thing for a while and see what happens later before getting too excited. SB Oh please please please let it bounce back just a few pennies! My employer sold us to a new company in the summer and we only have until the end of the month to sell our options (found out last week) , I'm not asking to be a millionaire Rodders, just a coupla pence and I'll sell them and be done with them! I'm no economist but I do only own one credit card ( ) and I'm expecting it to dip this morning and bounce back this afternoon with yet ANOTHER bull-fuelled "stop talking it down you doommongers, everything's hunky-dory here".

Realistbear Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 FTSE 100 (FSI:^FTSE) Index Value: 6,215.80 Trade Time: 9:16AM Change: 148.10 (2.33%) Prev Close: 6,363.90 Open: 6,289.30 Day's Range: 6,196.60 - 6,289.30 52wk Range: 5,774.50 - 6,754.10 Could see 5% down today. With Al saying Gordon's chief economic driver, HPINFLATION, is over what else is there? The City is going to be shedding tens of thousands of jobs as M&A, LBO etc dries up. What a shambles.

Ted D. Bear Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hmm. I recall some people on the BBC HYS on Northern Rock saying Friday afternoon was a great buying opportunity. They just lost 25% of anything they 'invested' in a few minutes. Paragon, B&B, A&L all down more than 7%. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another bold prediction there; COULD see 5% down today. Mmmmm. We COULD discover traces of extra terrestrial life today too...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lufc Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Think those are Fridays numbers RB. Dow future currently down 60 odd. One way or the other tomorrow could be the big one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selling up Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 If it drops below 6000 again then wake me up. Meanwhile watching the FTSE minute by minute is a very boring and pointless hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
