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

they come with me CityIndex account.... very hand for making money I've found!! :-)

See if gold pops near the close Skinny, if not the market manipulators are good, but their not Carlsberg as the saying goes!!

9829 gone long on the DAX...

Cheers Shortie, very good, much better than IGs,.

Wonder if its worth having a cheeky long in EZJ????? lost 125 points in 2 days , seems excessive.

.

Not a stock I follow but considering the fall in jet-fuel over the last quarter you'd think it'd add nicely to the bottom line.... just watch the gold rally at the same time..

9792 position closed. -37

Yep had a modest long on EZJ.

Ill get out bloody fast tomorrow if we dont get a bounce.

LOL... Yeah, indices might go a leg lower as short term support now being strongly tested.. You never know what the bell will bring.. 9800 on Dax appears to be holding for now.. 17680 Wall St, 6530 FTSE are my support points.

unbelievable gyrations on dow
was down about 200 when i left the office about 45 mins ago .... now down only 70 (17780)

dow
17680 support now easily broken
where next you chart whizzes?

Its at 17670 right now so wait and see if it tries to go lower and recovers back to around the support mark.

17653 :-)
where's support now, always assuming this isn't a tease?


i suppose 17600 is a good psychological level, and i know it was certainly a resistance point

.

yum yum 17500 next to breech :-)

Palladium is acting very strongly in a sea of commodity red.....

London?

not entirely sure what it's used for, though it has one esoteric use for attracting moisture (i think) from between the walls of cryogenic tanks

Catalytic converters on road vehicles and also fuel cells.
