FTSE / DOW YTD

FTSE down another 70 so far today. Volume seems thin but I'm not watching particularly closely. Issue seems more like lack of buyers rather than huge selling.

It would be nice if we could have a rally, if only a relief one.

I am need a packet of tranquilizers.

What I am taking at the moment seems like a Polo sweater.

Good Morning.

Good morning!

Good morning. FTSE being called up about 10. Let's see if we can manage not to fall 75pts by the close of play

Morning all.

At half time FTSE down by 50... I've seen it all before but it's annoying me now.

I know when the bounce comes it will come out of nowhere but in the meantime the continual fall on low volumes is doing my head in.

Good Morning.

Good morning!

What does blue indicate on the stockwatch page?

I have forgotten!

EU, Britain narrowing differences on Irish border in Brexit talks - sources

Hurrah Fred. It's going to take more than a couple of hours to repair the losses I've suffered in the last 3 weeks but at least LLOY and RBS are going in the right direction.

There's a strong buy program running on LLOY which looks like it's going to run all day. I assume there must be one on RBS too although i can't identify it.

Today looks quite hopeful. It seems the Brexit talk news is starting to trickle through to the market.

All of which leaves me wondering whether I should top up my SIPP and put some money in Aviva or continue waiting for an even more stupid price.

Definitely the banks 'turn' today!

Makes a change. Interestingly someone is off-loading a load at 250 on RBS and it won't go higher until the iceberg is completed.

I'm not sure why I so happy today. RBS and LLOY going well but the rest of my portfolio still seems under pressure although there are green shoots of positive possibilities

CC.

I have some cash in my pockets wishing to splash in the market, but Thank God I have lost the key of the wallet.

Prepared to watch a while longer.

I'm wondering how long LLOY can stay on the uptrend line. Can we make 60 today?

I'm breathing alot easier today. Looking at L2 the buying on the banks is consistent and doesn't look like the manipulation I've been seeing for weeks. Fingers crossed anyway.
