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

I've got one eye on it and the other on a 426 Hemi...

That's @50 years old now Shortie.

Small long FTSE @6540.7

It is, but it still holds its own in every department except sat nav and fuel economy!

If your talking about the cars that fitted it - great in a straight line! :-)

Have a look at these...

Road going original..



Still rather a MK1 or 2 cosworth based escorts..

FORD ESCORT MK1 RS1600 SIGNAL £44,995

There are some nice Cosworth Escorts around still. They just don't have any wow, or bling factor

there's some nice bentley supersport GTs too and they have both wow and bling :-)

As does the Wraith... If your gonna spend it.

if that's the new one, i think it hideous

it's VILE!
if you get a chance, drive a bentley GT (pref supersport) and it may surprise you ..... it's quick and pretty nimble too for a car of that size and weight .... that's about as far as my car expertise goes, though i do know it has a proper wheel in each corner and just a joke one in the boot

Just closed @6571.9 +30.2.

Check out Faroe Petroleum you lot....worth more than a punt....(FPM)....

Naaaahhh...Drive a 911 porsche turbo s.....there is one in my street...absolutey fabulous(with a poshie accent)....

Shortie, you a Santa pod man like myself??

Just closed a FTSE short @6582.6 + 13

Closed out FTSE longs this morning taking profits, now short off 6584.

Balerboy - I used to be a Santa-Pod man, back in the days when I owned an Evo.

As for the Porsche, well the Ruf (Porsche) 930 twin turbo is the one for me.

Cynic - Are you the owner of a Supersport?

yes; i was surprised at how much better it was than the regular GT
and no, i never ever buy new :-)

used to have a 911 many years ago, but Beloved hated it, and you sure knew it if you drove it a long way
