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

How nice to see you agreeing with me Cynic!

too scared of being soundly spanked if i do not!

Right...you've tempted me..I like the sound of Cynic's proposition = "I'll disagree with Toya" (only joking !).

You guys had better watch out! - Actually I was scared of pronouncing my female logic, knowing the kind of threats made against it here! Fear of spanked bottoms all round then...

does that include you? ..... or do you like being trussed up at the same time as well?

Trussed up? - I'm no chicken!

you said it, not i!
but how do you feel about the stuffing, with/without string(s)?

Prefer no strings attached Cynic

but the stuffing acceptable i assume - lol!

I particularly like the stuffing!

cynic any view on emed ? be nice

yes: 'nough of this nonsense: what's the ftse going to do next?

Yes, 'nough of this nonsense. What's the FTSE going to do next?

re your report on the bugs thread - this seems to be working ok, can you let me know if you see any more problems and we will take a look at this end.

Ian

Edit - I can see the minus posts read, James is taking a look.

Thanks Ian - I noticed this one packed up last night, and has before as I reported last week; but don't know about any others.

Toya,

It is just this thread - James is going to take a look into it for you.

Ian

Thanks Ian,
Toya

Glad you sorted that Toya I was beginning to think it was because I posted the same message 9 times!
