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

Put ABV into finder.

Shortie - 26 Feb 2014 12:43 - 14450 of 21973

Chart not looking too clever right now though.

Shortie - 26 Feb 2014 15:20 - 14452 of 21973

One for the watchlist then

skinny - 26 Feb 2014 15:28 - 14453 of 21973

Do you know what happened to the share price in December - share split?

Shortie - 26 Feb 2014 16:17 - 14454 of 21973

Have to say I haven't looked but assumed something along those lines. The February upwards movement and bullish sentiment is all I've looked at along with the above note. Lets see if it pushes above 730 resistance first.

in addition to TSLA, you guys may also like to look at YELP

cynic - 27 Feb 2014 11:51 - 14456 of 21973

TSLA
the market looks as though it likes this a lot, and not withstanding that dow is likely to open a fair bit lower following rising tensions in ukraine, a further fillip to sp today still looks on the cards


Tesla Motors, the US electric car manufacturer, announced plans to sell at least $1.6bn in convertible senior notes to raise funds for a vast new battery factory as its shares hit a record high on Wednesday.
Tesla’s stock was boosted earlier this week after a Morgan Stanley analyst said its shares could rise significantly if its effort to construct its own lithium ion battery factory puts it in a position to disrupt the wider US energy industry.

FTSE testing technical support, if 6750 does break it undermines bullish sentiment.

jimmy b - 27 Feb 2014 12:09 - 14458 of 21973

Electric cars , wouldn't touch it with a barge pole !

Shortie - 27 Feb 2014 12:10 - 14459 of 21973

Not a metal one anyway!

jimmy b - 27 Feb 2014 12:11 - 14460 of 21973

I'm in the FTSE comp with 6750 hope it holds until tomorrow :))

jimmy b - 27 Feb 2014 12:11 - 14461 of 21973

:~))

skinny - 27 Feb 2014 15:53 - 14462 of 21973

A hammer on the FTSE daily

Shortie - 27 Feb 2014 16:18 - 14463 of 21973

We'll be looking above 6820 then for shorting positions tomorrow..

skinny - 27 Feb 2014 16:21 - 14464 of 21973

Ironically I've had one trade today - long!

cynic - 27 Feb 2014 16:27 - 14465 of 21973

meanwhile, dow tries to resist any downward pressure

skinny - 27 Feb 2014 16:28 - 14466 of 21973

S&P trying highs.

FTSE new highs tomorrow??
