Must try and stop these late nights!
Halifax says house prices up 14% year on year. That's what I like to hear!

My FTSE 5 min chart looks like a flat line on a
heart rate monitor.
Is it still alive?
Off to get some stuff done.
See you all when the US opens.

after yesterday's vulture-like performance! MLC climbing on
the back of De Vere's results (sorry guys don't know the epic for
that one!) LLOY can't quite make up its mind if its 'playing' today
or not - currently neutral at 00.00 and MKS looking healthier today.
If the dollar doesn't pull up on the Euro will it be tears be
the end of the week??? 10 to 1 we don't get another interest rate
rise announced tomorrow..

Markets are selling off a bit.
Bonds rising a bit.

around in a range until the employment numbers on Friday.
It looks like this may be happening.
Dow/S@P/FTSE have all tested resistance and failed to go through.
If the market can't make money one way it won't just sit there,
it will try it the other way.
Looks like Bears will make some short money by taking stuff away
from the highs.
Decided to back my view and sold my longs at FTSE 4400.
Expecting to buy them back cheaper.
It's working nicely on BT.A but LGEN is proving stubborn.
Any Bears out there fancy a short on LGEN, please feel free. ;-)
Melnibone.

Looks like we both want the markets to retrace a little.
As long as we are enjoying ourselves and making more
than we lose, then that's what matters as far as trading
is concerned.
This is really just a big game, I have trouble taking it all
too seriously.

back at evens, but I haven't.
I don't like it when the FTSE closes in this situation.
The S@P/DOW are up near their highs and resistance at
1073/9920. There is a good chance of a pullback before
the close at 2100 hrs.(Assuming we don't get a breakout
that I miss) :-(
If this occurs, it will put pressure on the FTSE to gap
open lower tomorrow morning which would give cheaper
prices.
Guess I'll find out. :-)

U r quite right about the 9920/9930 area.
The range on the Dow l see for today is 9830-9920, estimate for Wednesday 9870-9940
Thursday 9900-9970. Friday is the day when we should be falling back but the day will be led by unemployment figures in the US
Anyway these are solely my guesstimates and please DYOR & NAG.
lets see what it throws at us.Could be avolatile session hence give us some opps both ways.
