Looking at the 2 charts below, I think if the US does go, and we follow, it won't be as bad in the UK as it will be in the US. But until the US elections in Nov, things are going to be very uncertain.

My mother doesn't believe in investing in the stockmarket as she remembers every bear run and the losses my father had on each one! Personally I'm tired of waiting for shares to recover. It's easier to cash in, most of the long term stuff, until the dust settles and go short (with a small amount) while waiting to reinvest long again.

much chance of the FTSE recovering any ground I suppose today.
Melnibone - charts etc above were great to read and interesting
thanks for posting.
Picked up some Billiton shares this morning (426p) - well the bargain
hunting territory was too good to waste! I'm going to re-name
Mondays to Bargain Day if this carries on as this is two weeks in a
row I have picked up a good buy at the start of the week!

Dow 9920, S@P 1085, NDX 1400, FTSE 4395 were all supports that
are now proving difficult to overcome as resistance.
Bulls really need to push back above these levels if they want
to initiate some Bear covering and move stuff higher.
Last redoubt, they need to hold and close above 1075 on the S@P
to stop a panic sell off.
Melnibone.

at the finish, thanks, IMHO, to Bear covering and profit
taking.
Don't think it was genuine Bull buying.
As posted this morning, US is closing some of that gap open,
as expected.
Plenty of trading time left in the US to close most of it and then
start dropping again. Should it choose to do so, of course. :-)
Time will tell.
Melnibone.

Like little Woman I bailed out ot the stock market near as damn it the top. One of the mistakes I made was jumping back in to early. (Bloody greed, and knowing better than every body else.)
How old do I have to be to get it right!!!!!!!!!
