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

Target hit and closed out at 7000 on FTSE100 Long.

The vote (if it goes ahead) could give some spikes either way next week.

Yes could be some interesting volatility in the coming weeks.

But still prefer to fence sit until it settles down excepting that it could be some wait until at least this Europe situation is settled at home.

US holiday has made it a dull day for me. Which way tomorrow is the puzzle!!

Down we go again.

FTSE 100 going in opposite direction to most other World markets this week. Not a good sign.
