FTSE + FTSE 250 - consider trading (FTSE)     

cynic - 20 Oct 2007 12:12

rather than pick out individual stocks to trade, it can often be worthwhile to trade the indices themselves, especially in times of high volatility.

for those so inclined, i attach below charts for FTSE and FTSE 250, though one might equally be tempted to trade Dow or S&P, which is significantly broader in its coverage, or even NASDAQ

for ease of reading, i have attached 1 year and 3 month charts in each instance

Shortie plus 73 at moment.

Anything above 50 is massively positive on long side for next 2 weeks.

Fold fold. The pressure is on.

Personally just a plus day will do for me.

cynic - 20 Dec 2013 20:34 - 13720 of 21973

certainly dow seems disinclined to do other than head north at the moment .... but like shorty i hope otherwise

goldfinger - 20 Dec 2013 20:35 - 13721 of 21973

DOW Going higher obviously shorters closing.

skinny be quick.

goldfinger - 20 Dec 2013 20:41 - 13723 of 21973

Just smoking your cuban GF, that's quite a feat, bragging again? :O)

goldfinger - 20 Dec 2013 20:44 - 13725 of 21973

Shortie sell sell sell. Be quick,be very quick you dont want to be fried.

goldfinger - 20 Dec 2013 20:49 - 13726 of 21973

Its getting very sweaty here but I expect a profit taking exercise with 5 mins to go.

Not that Im betting on it.

goldfinger - 20 Dec 2013 20:54 - 13727 of 21973

Cyners, so sorry you have had a bad time.

The main thing is the us INDICIES HITTING ALL TIME HIGHS AND CONFUSION.

last time it happened off top of my head was 80s and it just kept climbing.

goldfinger - 20 Dec 2013 20:56 - 13728 of 21973

Profit taking kicked in now. I did say.

goldfinger - 20 Dec 2013 21:01 - 13729 of 21973

Lovely end. Hope you lads got out and reversed.

Monday now on should be manic.

cynic - 20 Dec 2013 21:02 - 13730 of 21973

it's no big prob sticky .... just means i've missed out on a lot of profit - at least for now

goldfinger - 20 Dec 2013 21:06 - 13731 of 21973

True, but you should have listned to the warnings.

Hope you havent had so bad a time. Chin up bud.

cynic - 20 Dec 2013 21:08 - 13732 of 21973

no one, not even you, is always right ... if it was that easy it would be no fun

goldfinger - 21 Dec 2013 01:45 - 13733 of 21973

Absolutely Cyners. Plenty of time to make a few bob in the santa rally imo.

skinny - 21 Dec 2013 07:03 - 13734 of 21973

Morning children!

Still short here- although SIPP & ISA having a good year end.
