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

10% gone in less than a month.

Needs to close above 6240 to keep my above chart in play, if so I'd expect a bounce up tomorrow.... We shall see..

It's the end of the world i'm telling you !!!

Anyone want to buy one ???

Nope but I'm looking to go long in gold...

DOW still going down ,maybe under 16000 ?

f****
so glad i decided to play golf this afternoon :-(

A good walk spoiled as Churchill said .

it wasn't spoiled until i came in and checked in :-)
all was looking quite reasonable when i left the office

i'm hoping without great conviction that 16,000 (dow) will provide some much needed support

Already gone 15960 as i type ..

hard to know what next
at least shortie is ace at playing these games

6240 (ftse) busted bid time as is even 6210, so now what?

time for more losses ?

Going to be one hell of a bounce at some point .

will it really.., where and when....can you make ready....? lol

I think s&p (ftse too)may start run out of energy so im out here +46.4.love s&p.

btw Im really surprised by someone like art cashin making call earlier for s&p support at 1845 quoting some technicians...there isn't anything at 1845 even before price got there..how on earth they got these numbers calls..i could get their paychecks just for saying that there is nothing there..

DOW has touched 15,855 and the FTSE futures @6151 this evening!
