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

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

Looks like I closed a bit too soon..!

testing testing 123

looks like gf should have closed the bold type.,.

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.

And if you like big GEORGE SOROS raiding the little mans till, well hes welcome 'TO UP YOURS'.

what on earth is up with you today?
you really are being very strange indeed and not making an ounce of sense

6148.5 gone long

Your obviously the one who has been on the sauce.

Just because your drinking posh vintage from France doesnt rule you out as a piss head.

Seek your GPs help.
