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

Well thats the right wing, can t get it all on photo unless I go up in the chopper.

Nice gaff, Fishfinger. Just round the corner from Simon Cowell's, I suppose?

But I'm curious to know why the image filename is called 'My pad in rhodes 3.jpg'.

:o)

Is it??? Must have named the files wrong way around cheers Ill swop them about.

i was thinking exactly that a while back, as i remembered when sticky first posted it
what a silly billy :-)

meanwhile, that twat MrT was absolutely right last night ..... i made a lousy call - bought too early - but just banked 175 point profit on that position

I've got this place in Pinecrest, Miami. Must be the same architect:

It's here: My pad in Miami

E/Books removed as per request by Seymour Clearly.

You have mail.

Hi SC just seen your post but cant find the DM??. Are you sure its been sent.

Just got back from the Hosp where I have a poorly aunt. Got to go back, will look in as soon as I get back.

What was it about? have you still got the e/books?

cheers GF.

Just asked you to take that list down because the person who gave me those ebooks asked me to keep them private.

Right just got back SC. Still cant find your DM, what time did you send it please??.

Sorry didnt realise they were private. Will remove them.

In know I wonder if its under starred, Ill have a look. strange e-mail system this now at Virgin much prefered the NTL system. cheers GF.

Thanks GF, will DM you later.

so that rally sure didn't last long!
been out all day, so what's scared the markets?

glad i banked my dow profits yesterday; shame i didn't reverse it :-)

Just wish instead of up, down, up and down again markets would just sell off and have done with it. Earnings season hopefully will sort it one way or another. If in doubt stay out.

Thought this from Merryn Somerset Webb was good.
