DOW JONES @ LIVECHARTS

Afternoon everyone:
Did you see the spike up at around 13.30 gmt it rocketed about 20-30pts in a spit second.
Guys be very careful as they can wipe us out.
What are your trades today (or is it a silly question)!!!!

Do you reckon at some point today will go south to catch us unawares.
keep everyone posted as many times its a case of
"not seeing woods for the trees"

Hi Just managed to close some of the shorts of from last night at 9748 and ending in the positive territory. The sharks nearly had me yesterday.
The market was supposed to open higher with all these good figures etc.(lucky for me it didnt!!!)and dow news wires etc all said market to open higher -but what a fall.
I reckon it is going to spike up like it did yesterday.
ftse briefly hit 9400+ today -do you reckon the dow will emulate and hit 9900+
and make us all smile?

Dow bobbing up and down like yo-yo around 12pts. I reckon later on will see some shift (hopefully upwards).

How are your trades doing today??
Any news???

The trend is your friend - I hope.

Just a lot of lolling around until the Fed Beige Book at 19:00 I'd say.

jeroo:
Any clues as to what we might expect with the Beige Book results at 1900gmt.

Something out of on Hitchcock movie - the "Suspence" is killing me waiting for 19.00gmt.and the dow is range bound.

Looking for a close below 9809 to confirm resistance at this level.

Stacks of anecdotal evidence that the economy is improving - Fed to remain parsimonious on interest rates - the usual ...

many thaks Snoball and jeroo.
Am glued to the screen watching every minute move it makes.

The Men in black at play again.....


Oh just off the topic - On sunday this financial astrologer on sunday predicted that the market will collapse by 200 odd points Yesterday (14/10/03)afternoon. i hope he saw blue lights and Straight jacket brigade on his doorstep yesterday or did the stars disappear.
