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

Awkward to trade right now also.

Indeed. Doldrums.

DOW & FTSE both positive YTD for the 1st time since early March.

Whats the divi on holding tonight's FTSE?

6.5 points.

i banked the profit on my ftse long earlier this afternoon (+42), and having seen the dow finishing off the top, i am inclined to think we could be in for a down day tomorrow, though i'm not throwing in money to back that

Well the FTSE is looking rather overbought to me, currently short, 4 bets averaging 6751.5. A fall back to 6750 wouldn't surprise me

you mean one whole point? :-)

That's just my phase 1. :-)

I went short this morning @ 6762.2 tad early perhaps stop 6930.0. That time of year again golf and bowls take priority.

only worry when bowels take priority :-)

Stay off the curry.,.

Just made one funnily enough!

So you may be late on parade tomorrow then? Andrex in the fridge overnight? ;o)

Myself and my son are quite hardened to them - I've used some chllies that are @100,000 on the scoville scale.

OUCH!!

Andrex in the freezer then!

Not too bad! :-)

MAN he's hot.,.

LOL..
