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

Tell you what Cynic lets trash this thread now like you and the boys have trashed the chart thread, lets all have a bit of fun.........

Do you seem to be getting the idea Cynic what its like to have your thread trashed??

Its been like this for me for over 3 weeks so just think how I feel.

Youve only suffered for 2 hours.

you're just being a very silly boy, but that's your prob and no one else's
for whatever reason, you allowed CC and DD4 to get under your skin, and then kept goading and feeding their nonsense oxygen
i tried quite hard to bring some sanity, but it proved to be rather wasted, but hey ho

hey ho, you know I like posting 24 hours a day.

Like ive said you trash my thread I trash yours ..simples.... as the meer cat said.
