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

That article is just opinion cynic, I'm still bearish.

as i just wrote on advfn re eu negotiations....

it most certainly worries me that i cannot see uk regaining any meaningful rights to block legislation and similar that are not in the country's interest - interestingly, germany seems to have such a safeguard via its constitution; nuts!

nothing to do with trust, but a view of what might be achievable - or indeed might have been achievable by anyone

just shorted DOW 16454

limit up at 16,405 b4 bedtime :-)

==============

amazed that markets are positive this morning given the news (nonsense) coming out of brussels

Yes me to, but early days so to speak.

50DMA was about the hıgh of the rally for now.

shorted DOW at 16,378 but as i can't be glued to the screen, have set limit at 16,305

=================

missed making a small profit on DOW but got out at b/e

Fts come up trumps again for me today.

on short tack i presume ..... not at all sure what monday will bring ..... modest applause i'ld guess though it may not have longevity

Presumption correct, in and out has been working well for me since Dec.

your prediction for the direction on monday?
shan't hold you to it, i promise :-)

I don't do predictions these days (got it wrong to often in the past) so I now tend to like to know what has happened O/night from the far east. Only then does it give me some room for consideration.

Between now and June the EU carve up ıs not goıng to help FTSE ıf we get a few polls showıng Leave!!!!!!!!!!!!

what about monday morning? :-)

By the close I reckon we wıll be lower.

and to open or say within first 30 minutes?

Down after 30 mıns.

i'm getting to that conclusion myself not least because uncertainty continues and could even become more acute

You can guess direction to your hearts content, ultimately to no avail, even if overnight the Asian Indices have a stormer Stan.. UKX will follow the Dow, the worlds largest Casino :O)

not necessarily .... in the last couple of weeks dow and ftse have become somewhat though not entirely diconnected
