Midday Report

I read the IG article with some sadness because some people will be a very bad place right now.

I think the issue is that many do not really fully understand what trading a margin account means and the risks they are taking.

It is something to bear in mind all the time. Am I making enough small wins to pay for the day things go badly wrong.

New high for the FTSE @7122.74 - it's nearly a month since the DOW did similar @18,288.63 on 02/03/2015.
