Let's get straight to it - the CAN-SLIMesque guru screen...


Guru Screen Review

Sometimes this is easy, with only 4 or 5 hits on the screen - this week we have 16!

Plus500 (LON:PLUS)

Herbie47 mentioned last week it is close to dropping out - still there for now, lost ground this week.

Globaltrans Investment (LON:GLTR)

Watching for now - I missed the breakout, I expect that last week's slight price drop is natural profit taking after a good rally the week before.

TCS Holding (LON:TCS)

NEW Entry Russian banking - looks good but, I don't want to have heavy exposure to Russia in the current political climate!

We drank, then were given a second glass of tonic. We had to rate which one we liked the best. Out of 12 people, 10 preferred Tonic A (that turned out to be fever tree), 1 person preferred tonic B (Schweppes) and 1 though they were both no good without the vodka!

I'd be interested to see how their cola sales are going - I have a feeling  Rum and Coke is the new G&T.  And in case you don't…
