A profit is a profit.
You'll only catch the bottom and the top if
you are lucky.
Be happy that you got the trend right and took
a chunk.

Good luck with your limits.
FTSE starting to get near possible shorting territory.
Tell you what, I'll try and organise a blow-off bounce
for your sells before I open my short. ;-)

In case anyone hasn't noticed, VOD is at it's 129p
resistance level.
Unless it's going to do a breakout there's a danger that
it will lead the FTSE down.
Depends on what it reports.
I think that's next week, but not sure, haven't checked yet.
