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

Cynic, you havent been locked in have you.??????

There is no minimum GF, but of course you'll have to have enough to cover your margins before you can trade.

Cheers Shortie,

dow dropped another bundle at last knockings to finish at 17280 (-315), with a bit of further weakness after hours

cash ftse showing -65, so it's effectively guaranteed that monday will be vile as well

Oh GF, Cityindex has got a decent phone app also, I make most of my plays on the app when I'm out and about..

6308.8 position closed, +36.2

Has the bold stopped now..??

GF - no; not locked in and don't understand what you're talking about anyway ...... meanwhile, i am sorry to see that santa is in headlong retreat once more ..... all very ugly

LOL how are your underpants now gf, Santa's still pissed :0)

I would have been better off staying in bed today.

But, they may have sent IDS around to get me up!

NO not at all , santas slay as got stuck in the snow,.......... just a scratch on my 22 million equity portfolio.

LOL Fred.

Cynic after the event man. LOL

Starting to look oversold again

GF - no idea what you're talking about ...... indeed i rather suspect you've been on the sauce too heavily at lunchtime
one thing's for sure, now is not the time to be throwing money into the ring

Stupid reply cynic. Havent touched the sauce since last thursday when Kim bollocked me for overdoing it with the boys on a night out.

Just a little scrtach on a 20 million pound stock portfolio.
