     The train is shortly to leave the station. The astute fundamental investors are already occupying the first class compartment and starting on the gin and tonics. Those new to train travel are still arriving, many will find standing room only.

  The technical analysts are still queuing at the ticket office, many will arive so late they will be chasing the train down the platform. Most of these will be unecumbered by luggage as they will be allighting at the first stop.

  This contrasts starkly with the first class passengers, baggage racks are overflowing as they anticipate staying on board for the entire journey,  

   The ticket collecter is complaining about the behavior of the technical analysts, apparantly on the last trip many were so worried they might miss their stop they were jumping from the moving train. One wag even pulled the emergency stop much to the consternation of the group of long term investors.

   Hopefully this years trip will be a more enjoyable one for all,  there may be a slight delay while we wait for the brakes to be released at 3.91, so get yourselves down to the station and hop on board before its too late.
