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

Really ? wall st's down ..

cynic - 05 May 2017 15:12 - 21372 of 21973

only a tad after a rather chunky cash opening this morning, but Dax up very nicely :-)

DAX & CAC futures showing positive on the back of Macron win. Seems Europe is breathing a sigh of relief!

Stan - 08 May 2017 07:23 - 21374 of 21973

Yes looking like an up day.

cynic - 08 May 2017 08:21 - 21375 of 21973

immediately after the news, the sunday indices were up hugely
the markets now realise not a great deal has changed

cynic - 09 May 2017 10:03 - 21376 of 21973

DAX remains amazingly strong, yet there are still the french parliamentary elections to come (as well as in uk of course)
it will be very unsettling to say the least if FN (le pen) has a strong showing and gets more seats than say lib/dems (or ukip!!) in uk

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

for myself, and i may have traded in/out once or twice since 4th, i am currently modestly (as always!) long DOW, and that is nicely in the money, and modestly short DAX from previously, but of course that is currently nursing a loss

BoE base rate maintained at 0.25%.

cynic - 17 May 2017 14:23 - 21378 of 21973

DOW + DAX
both now tumbling fast .... am glad to be modestly short in both
perhaps this is the long overdue correction, triggered as so often, by nothing special

Trump's.

impeachment odds fall

Stan - 17 May 2017 15:20 - 21381 of 21973

Impeachment? Yes please, dollar falls gold goes up.

cynic - 17 May 2017 16:06 - 21382 of 21973

thanks to collapsing DOW and DAX i'm actually having quite a good day .... totally undeserved

KidA - 17 May 2017 16:10 - 21383 of 21973

Dollar down, Pence up?

cynic - 17 May 2017 19:54 - 21384 of 21973

crash, bang, wallop!
thank goodness i'm short of both DOW and DAX and increased same a little late this afternoon

cynic - 18 May 2017 08:49 - 21385 of 21973

be very careful if you are tempted to buy ..... though the markets opened surprisingly strongly, they look to be having second thoughts
