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

Not possible!

i've decided to let you out on licence (and increased medication), for rumour has it that you're pining badly :-)

What have I missed?

In relation to what subject? If you are referring to the stock market, I have seen the surface of paint gradually wrinkle and dry with a more interesting result than the market at mo! If you are referring to medication, you had better hurry as it seems HMG are about to ban all recreational drugs which make life a bit more bearable for some!!!

out dow short last night (+81)
however, dow still looks to be challenging 18,000 (south) quite seriously and the recoveries do not look so potent

greece will apparently shell out its next instalment, so a likely bounce for ftse on monday, but overall, there seems little incentive to throw more money into the market except for perhaps special sits - eg QPP might be an interesting contender

FTSE 100. Another leg down this morning

the market is clearly betting on Grexit

this site gets worse and worse
not only is posting comment slow to chronic, but i just went check the chart for dow (INDU) and it still shows yesterday's date and thus the level shown is about 100 points adrift too

hopeless!!

I'll post this - see how long it takes.

Edit - it was instant. Might be your PC or your broadband.

even if that were to be the case, and i think not, the charts are still hopeless

Re the charts, I think MAM only show live charts for when the market is open.

Lots of posts are lagging as are some charts and prices, but the problem is intermittent, so no way of knowing what's right and when.

The lagging is an ongoing problem, folks. Have a look at the BUGS
thread to see all the complaints.

US may not be open, but trading on Dow assuredly is!
Thank goodness i don't rely on these

What's happening with MAM ? i know all were complaining about the prices but now it seems to be everything .

DOW
having recovered from just above 17,900 this morning (yummy), i can't determine whether it is now consolidating at ~18,000 with a view to going higher, or just struggling a bit to keep that level

answer - doesn't care for 18,000 but called the bounce right again when it dropped to about 17,930 and am back out at 17,985

Missed the boat this morning. Possible reversal day for upside until end of week?

i follow DOW more than FTSE, but having staggered higher to 18,075 or thereabouts, it has now drifted back to 18,035

greece and NFP no doubt hold the key
