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

Manuel,

Sorry,

I just have this picture of you running down the street pushing a cart with a Sinclair ZX on your shoulder.

and well-earned too. according to who?..if it's you then that don't count.

have laptop with me so i can also work. by definition if your still working then it is not a holiday.

if you're ever brave enough to run your own business. proof that you know nothing.

you'll need to understand that speed of reaction = good service....you certainly do need a holiday if you really believe that 😁

Plenty of volatility today in US.

Good swings on Dow today.

Looking for sign of a bit of selling but there is no signal

US still moving upwards. FTSE almost at Mid Summer high.

Another up day in US.
