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

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

I've owned fast cars but never a luxury brand or a new car. Here's to maybe one day though! FTSE 1 Hr below

confess that "tarts' cars" are a fringe benefit of one's own company
in fact, i only drive about 7/8,000 miles a year, and it's such a hedonistic pleasure

We going down again today , for god's sake .

'tis very unpredictable as wall street showed last night

Wall st doesn't tend to take us with it at the moment.

ok then .... add a short week with a long w/e + the great unknown of ukraine scene

FTSE / DOW

FtSE short closed 6563 +21

Considering going long as a move back to 6590 looks likely

6566.8 gone long

2 Hr Wall St

Looks probable Shortie - no figures now til 1:30.
