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

Donwload Adblock and try and follow the instructions.

It does work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well there's always the squelch button ..... it works on annoying posters so perhaps it works for adverts to :-))


fred (now you're being sensible for a bit, i hope), are you not going to comment on ukraine etc on your usual "home"? ..... would be genuinely intertested in your view

What are you on about cynic ? you can't squelch an ad .

Who said that!

doh! well done jimmy :-)

Haven't seen ad on firefox...... how lucky.,.

The annoying video is back, I had to re-enable that plugin that turns the video off otherwise City Index doesn't work. I'll therefore be logged out of MAM for most of the day.

I think everyone has gone away into hiding because of that bl**dy video ad!
Quite right too as it seems to resurrect itself all of the time. Mute button very welcome!

Skinny, you play that FTSE like a fine violin, well done.

Thanks - most days' the market, well, - "she wins" :-)

Never seen it myself!
