Just to let those who are interested, what is happening in the UK market -here is the contents of an email to my favourite board relating to their weekly share performance competition.

Extract reads:

And the WINNER is Steve Crisp!!!!!   A magnificent 85% increase in one week.
An exciting last day with GEO and RTD vying for first place; so an
honourable mention to Maria.  All the recommendations showed very good gains
over 5 trading days except for the winner of the wooden spoon; ME!!!  Just
goes to prove that I am useless at this game.  Just think, if you had these
shares as a portfolio you would have made over 30% profit in one week, more
if you had ignored me (always good advice).  Steve, the bottle of champagne
is attached to this E-mail; enjoy.

Time for another go.  There were some entrants last week who missed the
midnight Sunday deadline so get your selection in early.  One selection per
person only please.  Mine for next week is Skyepharma because of the USA
presentations due on 14 and 15 March.
