salad dressing, they'll make a fortune with the right marketing

gkp still idling, is it waiting for something

irish budget voted on tomorrow apparently this means something

Woah what a tumble for DES!

Not a bad SP for a company who can't tell the different between oil and water. DES with a market cap of £246m and the only asset they have is some oily water.

I wonder how many people are considering a buy sub 60p now. I reckon this'll see the low side of 50p if not lower at some point today.

In better news, EDL off to a confident start this morning with highs of 18%. Dropped back a bit now, but volumes are good at 30mil traded (admittedly this has just gone over a penny lol!).

Desire will fly tomorrow, they are about to annouce a deal with Hellmans

Now this, this I like.

L2 data incoming, to mobile platforms too. Charts are nicer as well, most impressive.

Whats L2 differ to Live ?

Not having seen it before, I gather it's more detailed trading information related to buys/sells and MMs doing said trading? Could be wrong...?

Just sliced a bit of profit off CNR and increased my EDL holding, fingers, toes, and all other crossable appendages crossed!

It's not L2. You cannot get L2 information for free. There is no order book and the information is the same as iii/advfn etc

It's just a nice front end and in my experience about 1 min ahead of the other "15-20 mins delayed" services.

Has long been a bookmark and excellent for a quick snapshot of how you're doing for the day

It does say on the left hand side of that Advanced page I linked that "L2 streaming coming to iPhone as soon as Apple approve it". Wonder if they're starting to charge for the app on iPhone?

Can't see it being free...

shareprice.co.uk gives live prices for free

BrenOS · 7 Dec 2010 at 14:01

Shareprice is not live and it's certainly not L2.

Whoever you decide to get L2 through, most of them provide an iphone app now

EDIT: If you want to see what L2 is, watch the PureDeal demo middle of the page http://www.hlmarkets.co.uk/news/seminars. This type of service is not available for free.

Shareprice is live, although it's contended so you can get kicked off and have to refresh, and they are charging for L2.

When I press refresh at 14:23 and get a price "As of 14:07" this is not live. They are better than most, but unless you are paying for L2 then you aren't getting live prices anywhere.

Are you a member?

Working OK for me:

DESIRE PETROLEUM PLC 61.625 14:33:36

(I'm not invested btw, just watching their prices in my portfolio!)

Simon · 7 Dec 2010 at 14:34

When I press refresh I get live prices, have you signed up and created a portfolio?

BrenOS · 7 Dec 2010 at 14:40

Ah no I'm just using the advanced screen. I use iii and (wrongly!) assumed it would be the same and ~15 mins behind even if I signed up!

Apologies for incorrect bluntness, might look at switching if it allows me to create multiple personalised pfs.

No worries.

It does allow for multiple profiles, which sync to your mobile device.

Just wondered your thoughts on Chemring Group CHG ?

Long term that is.
