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

what about them? ...... market in china is more relevant, but even so, it looked/looks a good bet especially as f/e markets are likely to be solid enough after last night

Are you sure with the Hong Kong probs.

my wallet said yes, and so did the markets yesterday and last night, albeit that they were due a bounce

Cynic sent you a e-mail re- TUNG.

thanks for that
have read and inwardly digested

Good call @ 6533 long.

going out for a while, so banked an acceptable 25 point profit

I've still got two FTSE100 DFT long positions open. Don't see any reason to take a third right now.

Well done on your profit Cynic.

hardly rocket science and even less brave but thank you :-)

added small dow long at 16939.6
would hope to see bounce from this level towards 17,000 once again

==================

well that didn't last long!
limited out at 16990 while i walked home from the office!

wish it was always that quick and easy to knock out a 50 point profit

Have a look what we have in mind :

BT UPDATE

Cheers dr9980 very informative, Ive saved you to my favourites. Please keep them coming. Excelent snippets.

dr9980 - things like your bt update should go on the BT thread, not this one

Small quick plays today I think on the FTSE.

am very glad indeed that i banked nice little profits on both ftse and dow yesterday, though i still have a long dow running

BT is a FTSE company!!!!!!!

Maybe so but all he's doing is advertising his own site for free here.. I don't mind one or two links but this person looks desperate with all the new threads and links put up on MAM this morning.

exactly so - it's blatant advertising and nothing else
he needs to be got rid of
