Wednesday 7th June: General samosas

Awful day. Market fallen sharply again. Bovis has now fallen under 800p! I seem to be like a reverse trader. Buy high, sell low. How utterly depressing. How long is this going to go on? That chap who runs the Fidelity fund, Anthony Bolton, seems to think it may last all summer. Well, that’s all right for him, he’s leaving. What about the rest of us?

To cap it all Qinetiq came in with some fairly miserable results. Profits down, just a few months after the IPO! Business with the MoD has halved and the staff are up in arms for more pay too. I’ve lost 15 per cent since February. Decided not to mention it any more at share club.

Elevenses: Mrs Sharma’s samosas, distributed by K.P. at the Ring o’Bells. He said they were mild, but one bite almost sent me to Pluto. By God, we didn’t half drink some beer afterwards. The drunken recriminations about Billiton purchase, already below £10 (“We should have bought it cheaper,” says Martin Gale, master of the obvious) are followed by misery that we don’t yet have enough cash to make a new purchase. Gale also suggested we open a spread-betting account to gear up our remaining pittance. Firmly rejected. The man’s a loose cannon.
