The Papers

Good morning!

Morning all.

Start of the second quarter and I'm wondering what this will bring. The sell-off in US techs stocks maybe suggests some normality is returning to the market? Who knows?

I'm hoping for a better second quarter on the markets overall. In the first quarter I made 0.5% on my long term portfolio and a tiny loss day-trading. Pretty happy with my long term portfolio given FTSE is down about 800 pts in the quarter. I've almost given up daytrading now. Down to about 1 trade a day and focusing my efforts elsewhere. I don't have the knack for it like I used to.


GLA and thanks as ever to Skinny for the thread

I must admit I've reduced my day trading and mainly to the FTSE.
