LloydsTSB

is bothering me somewhat..... had i not been impatient I could have taken a 20pc rather than 10pc return. that's life. I'd rather take a small gain than risk a big loss. it also gives me confidence to buy on a dip again so will put it back on my watchlist.

I also came away from a simulated trading event last night where you had 1 hour to trade either WTI, Gold, Crude or the US indexes. Needless to say i made about 75 quid which I was pretty pleased with considering I was looking to grab as much free booze as I could. The winner actually made 800 quid in an hour. Which i think is very impressive given that you can't bet more than £10 / point (total) and your total position size is also £10 / point. The winner took an all expenses paid trip to Vegas - I'd personally have taken the cash but hey hum!
