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

ACA
yes possibly, though still some headroom to 310 which is the serious resistance
FRES
remains unloved since its results, but perhaps due for a bounce as it has considerable strength in both silver and gold
kirky is the man for this stock, though i think he likes to short it

Not a huge amount of important data to come from the diary this week. Thurs is ex-divi day with some big names on the list (BARC, BLT, AV. etc), so unless something unexpected happens, my feeling is that the FTSE & DOW will probably drift.

CME Group analyst suggesting $1280 will be the high for gold and is expecting a pullback to circa $1200.

WORLDPAY (WPG)
not a stock i follow, and i don't even know that the company does
however it seems to have returned some cracking figures, but sp has dumped, so it may be that they're worth buying

Electronic payment platform. Tricky sector to be in, though they actually turned in a profit for the first time. Not sure why they have turned negative but others in the same sector (PAYS etc) also hit.

He is in a tricky position and having to be very careful. He cannot recommend IN or OUT, but can only assess the pro's and con's of a Brexit on the UK economy.
Refreshing to see at least two people who can produce plain speaking...John Mann & Chris Philp.
Some of the others just cannot stop themselves waffling on.

S&P
watch to see if 1980 holds .... it has done for the last few days and acted as a level for a rally
