Hi All

I would just like to contribute very quickly to this.  I don't say much
on this forum.

I receive about 50-80 e-mails a day from here.  They all take time to
look at and evaluate.  They would take even less time and lessen the
clog on my server if these 'commentaries' weren't here.

There are thousands of forums to discuss politics, current affairs,
gossip or whatever you want.  Use those if you want to talk rubbish. 
USe this if you want to talk shares, profits (& losses!!)and markets.  I
am sick of pages and pages of dribble on this from people like Oliver.

Thank You

NK
