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

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.

New High.

Is anyone trading US Markets.

investing yes; trading no but could do if i so chose

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

Dow made new high. Sell off for a couple of days!!!

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

Another up day in US.

Shorts being taken to a Millwall game.

Another paint drier on ft100 so far.

US Markets. No stopping them.

US Futures first down day for a long time

.

Big swing today in US. Nothing so far stopping them from going up

Yet another exciting day on the footsie.

Agreed FTSE range bound.

With the what could be an overdone reaction to the Whitbread interims an opportunity to get in on some others in the same sector.
