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

LOL

Probably this one :-)

Sports and Grill Bar, I give Cynic more credit, much more likely to be this one..

The man of the moment!!

Leyton High Rd. eh? As he only gets a 3 hour lunch break that should be just the job.

Some 'interesting' ones when you start to look -

The menu actually looks quite good..

6435 position closed.

sod's law .... should have closed long dow and left ftse short running ..... hey ho

I should have left the short also but had to pop out.

complete bloodbath at the moment, probably and primarily on the back of JP Morgan's further $1bn set-aside for fines

=============

DOW
should have support at around 17340 or perhaps as low as 17300

however, on yesterday's and indeed today's performances, neither supports nor resistances have had much meaning

i have bravely or foolishly (shall let you know!) opened another small Dow long at 17373.4

I hope you are right!

.

for once fred, you are not alone :-)

6379 long

a brightish start (comparative of course) on wall street, though i missed the even stronger first 5 minutes as was grabbing some dinner shopping

6391 position closed

+83.8 on the day now, short stack still, so got to be extra careful.
