I have little idea about what everything on the BBC site means in relation to these graphs:

http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/fds/hi/business/market_data/overview/default.stm

And most of the other pages in this area.

I have a lot of questions to ask but in simple terms this would boil down to:

"What does everything mean?" :D

I also notice the US Dollar is awfully low. Not good for those of us fortunate enough to be going to Vegas.....

"What does everything mean?" :DTo whom, and in what sort of terms? Are you asking as an investor, potential investor, man in the street etc?

I also notice the US Dollar is awfully low. Not good for those of us fortunate enough to be going to Vegas.....You're going to Vegas - when? Where are you staying etc? Start a new thread and tell us all about it. I love hearing about people going to Vegas although that's mainly as it gives me a chance to reminisce and offer advice on where to go and what to see

I'm asking as a man on the street... I have no understanding of stocks and shares whatsoever really, and just want to grasp what certain things mean on the site. The figures, the graph data, what causes it to fluctuate, etc.

You're going to Vegas - when? Where are you staying etc? Start a new thread and tell us all about it. I love hearing about people going to Vegas although that's mainly as it gives me a chance to reminisce and offer advice on where to go and what to see

I wasn't talking about me going to Vegas... I'm not going. Someone else is - March 2009.

The figures, the graph data, what causes it to fluctuate, etc.I'm going to get myself into a lot of trouble if I try and explain any of this in any detail - mainly because I only have an approximate understanding of some of it. You need someone like OFF around. That said, I may try and point you at some useful reading material later (it'll probably just be Wikipedia actually)

I wasn't talking about me going to Vegas... I'm not going. Someone else is - March 2009.I don't care about Keith going though :peeky:
