GUS...from a massive double bottom establish aug02 - mar03, the sp has never looked back and has remained in a fairly tight upward trending range. At present the sp appears to be at the 'upper trendline' so a fall back to 920p whilst it consolidates would be expected, however the long term prospects seem favourable, buying on the retrace.
just my opinion.....so dyor.
