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

I took a FTSE short this morning ,just closed . Every morning it's up above 6750 and always comes off.

markets should be heading south, but with such microscopic yields on bonds and the like, shares are the obvious alternative for the ever-growing pension funds and similar

FTSE seen down after Wall St, Asia falls
London equities are seen lower following a softer Wall St. Crude prices fell on global glut concerns, while disappointment about Japan's stimulus package affected Asian markets, but did see the yen high

UP 17 POINTS

Utter Madness but what do I know.

Correct Balerboy.

Maths not very good. :)

DAX
finally surged through 10,400 this morning
could now be in for further strong gains - except the obvious so often has a habit of biting your bum

DAX
has limped back up to 10,480 but there's no momentum to indicate enthusiasm to break further north

Indıces have had a good run sınce The Referendum. Not much momentum left ıt looks lıke to me.

S&P
that has roared through major hurdle at 2177, but no idea where next or how that might influence other indices

hAVE
