--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For what it is worth I had Caltex at 1.63--since sold it--still like it though even though the price has risen over a dollar. I'm researched on it. It's another stock that I picked through hard work due diligence and research, that vested interests (on another BB) I guess needed to short cover on and attacked me around the 1.80 level. How I long to do stockmarket.
For also what it is worth (I write these words in a hurry in case I get attacked at the lower bollinger band) without looking at CTX too deeply--right this minute 2.72 in judgement is a support resistance line. For me CTX was a talk to my dead pet dog in a sewer--as I slipped in all the mud and the grime in the early hours of a Sunday Morning--we will do it mate!--that was my CTX experiece at 1.63. (Last place I took him walking before he died) We had another walk outside the vets before he went in for an operation he didn't come out of--the sewer walk though was our regular haunt. Yes there is nothing more horrible to watch than a Lord bonkers doing a King Lear in a sewer in the early hours--Why God? Why did you take him?--all that sort of stuff. Caltex--the first time I got CTX--was in the city--I to go in and do something (I met a BB poster I know that day) (it was a court matter and he said what you are you in here for bonkers?--defamation?--LOL) anyway at the time I didn't have any money and I scabbed a newspaper out of a bin--and it had a bit on CTX in it--so that got me thinking--then another time I was in a pizza shop waiting for a pizza to be cooked and I picked up the local paper and was having a read--I said hello this looks interesting.--LOL The court matter was a civil thing--I laughed inwardly to myself (marital matter) just my luck I got a Judge Judy (the tv show) I thought to myself I don't stand a chance here! I was right--LOL I thought maybe a bit of Elvis will work--swung my hips a bit perhaps she'll like me--no none of it worked I just got this icy cold stare.! LOL
