Goers - just be thankful that nigel "anticipates the possibility of a strong extension"...... Takes me some bloody expensive pills to do that these days....
Fingers crossed for tomorrow - I'm hoping for a close above £7, although I'm also preparing to be disappointed if things stay a bit flat. There is however an expectation that Wall Street will rally next week which will hopefully help us (especially in view of the US interest in QXL). The following comments were on yahoo finance tonight:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - With Wall Street in the year's final stretch and the Dow in record territory, investors believe this week will bring even more holiday cheer.
"I would guess we have some merger news on Monday as people try to get deals in before the end of the year," said Christopher Zook, chairman and chief investment officer at CAZ Investments in Houston, Texas.
Wall Street's rush to do as many deals as possible could coincide with a last-minute push by some fund managers to snag the market's winning stocks for their portfolios before they pull the curtain on 2006, analysts added.
