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

it's all a bit fingers x'ed in the present climate, but even if wrong call initially, there's a good chance that it will come right in due course, and quite possibly during the course of the day

all very gruesome at the moment
it didn't surprise that the markets headed south, but i certainly didn't expect this level of collapse

it wouldn't surprise me at all .... in fact, DOW was all over the place last night, recovering nearly 200 points (i think) from its low
