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

i did if you read, but went long rather prematurely
i suspect those long positions will (eventually) turn in profits, but am certainly not prepared to average down

The Fund Managers are all packing for the SKI SLOPES, the PI now takes over until the end of January.

here we go here we go here we go.
