FTSE + FTSE 250 - consider trading (FTSE)     

cynic - 20 Oct 2007 12:12

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 eurozone economies are shot to pieces'' In addition their banks have also not done enough re their debts, I think they are in total denial.

as i posted, i've been saying it for ages

Stan - 10 Mar 2016 16:16 - 20376 of 21973

Never mind all that, when's the Ftsie going up or down and by how much?

cynic - 10 Mar 2016 16:35 - 20377 of 21973

you mean you expect an opinion when you won't give yours on the referendum? :-)

as i wrote above, watch for 6030

cash FTSE is now just at that level, but it'll be after say the first hour's trading tomorrow that will give the clue

my guess is down, down, down ...... but then i've been saying that for a while now as i see nothing to get cheerful about

Stan - 10 Mar 2016 16:36 - 20378 of 21973

Oh how very childish.. how old are you?

cynic - 10 Mar 2016 16:39 - 20379 of 21973

old enough to be your father and probably even your grandfather!

Stan - 10 Mar 2016 16:46 - 20380 of 21973

Yes Dad.

cynic - 10 Mar 2016 17:09 - 20383 of 21973

Chris Carson - 10 Mar 2016 17:10 - 20384 of 21973

cynic - 10 Mar 2016 17:20 - 20385 of 21973

Chris Carson - 10 Mar 2016 17:23 - 20386 of 21973

Been fucked for years mate, but your right well out :0)

cynic - 10 Mar 2016 17:30 - 20387 of 21973

premature ejaculation i'ld hazard but certainly erectile dysfunction of some kind
i wonder if little blue pills would help you at all ..... and no, i've never tried or even had to try them :-)

Chris Carson - 10 Mar 2016 17:36 - 20388 of 21973

Judging by your love of the annual finger up botty check up, i would imagine grateful to recieve floats your boat cyners :0)

cynic - 10 Mar 2016 17:37 - 20389 of 21973

everyone over 60 should have an annual PSA check regardless of genetic history

2517GEORGE - 10 Mar 2016 17:41 - 20390 of 21973

Quickly moving on-----The DAX was up around 270 at one stage today 500pts swing(oops)

cynic - 10 Mar 2016 17:43 - 20391 of 21973

and down a further 88 after hours

Stan - 10 Mar 2016 18:09 - 20392 of 21973

OK you lot get some grub then back.. and on topic please.

cynic - 11 Mar 2016 08:28 - 20393 of 21973

this morning's guardian headline says it all .....
ECB cuts interest rates to zero amid fears of fresh economic crash


thus the markets' wild gyrations make little sense, and certainly make trading all but impossible
