Once more, the Americans saved the France! Friday, even in full Thanskgiving, it is the arrival of overseas investors who revived a session until then firmly in the red in Paris and most of the European places. Between a euro redevenu very expensive and difficult to read macroeconomic signals, the European managers seem more likely by the harvest of benefit. Five weeks of the end of the year, the chance to grab a few recent gains and the risk of losing those acquired, security based on many arbitrations. It is much more logical that 2006 is an atypical vintage. If its upward trend confirmed the previous two years, it was marked by a severe correction in the spring. In six weeks, the CAC 40 lost 14 for ironing under its level of early January. This accident and the catch-up following create an effect of slope which gives these months a runaway character and which calls for caution. The CAC 40 thus increased by 17 since its low on 14 June, compared to 14.3 "only" on the whole of 2006. For values such as Capgemini, Veolia, PPR, the phenomenon is further accentuated, with more than 30 gains in the last four or five months.

Bad habit

Same (dubious) issue, same (perverse). The agitation on Technip began as the drama of the real false PepsiCo's OPA on Danone in the summer 2005. In a time of market, due to the American Thanksgiving, "the Wolf" alert on the champion of petroleum engineering focused the attention of available. Wolf, than anyone, and especially lamb, had seen, with the silhouette of Saipem, a subsidiary of the ENI Group, and as started, by chance, a Franco-Italian Summit, a virtuality offers public redemption, theoretically subject to specific rules, has been transformed in fact on the front, less regulated but lively, the "economic patriotism". Technip title has won a brutal revival of favour. These poignant reunion of the France with a jewel in its heritage however left the course of Technip under its level of last March, signs that investors retain some insight.
