Watchlist for August 26, 2005

Thanks to Fallond for the generous donation to my ‘tip jar’ today. In addition to his main site (which I know you all bookmarked back in June 2004 when I first mentioned it.) He also has a blog now. There’s plenty of good info on both sites.

As for the market… Is it September yet??? I had another non-trading day yesterday due to the lethargic action in the indices. I’m not expecting much today either. I certainly could be wrong, but as always time will tell.

If you’re trying to subscribe to my new links feed(s) you’re probably getting an XML error right now. I’ve reported the problem and hopefully it will be fixed very soon. The latest links are displayed on the site though.
