FTSE seems to be trying to bottom out at what was last
weeks resistance level before we got the Friday bounce.
Check the 5day tab on the ftse chart at top of thread.
Taken a small position in MKS. It's just above short term 280p support
and we may get a little bounce. Not too bothered if it drops, I'll
treat this one as a position rather than a day trade and hedge if
required by shorting the FTSE if we start to get the drop suggested
by Croc.

Just scalped the dow with a short and modest gain of 200.
Not much legroom to swing a cat -need volatility.
good luck everybody

Little woman:
Everytime we hear all these things -its sods law that it goes pear shape.
Even with all the good news etc last week it nose dived on friday.Many times its the market "pimps" who blast out all these things and gather a herd for slaughter.
Most probably i am all wrong but time will tell.

Ref the DOW hitting 10000, this is not impossible.
Same as Croc, I think we are overdue a correction, but I think
that it would be a little odd, when having come this near, that the
DOW and the FTSE didn't at least make an attempt on 10000/4450
respectively.
It may be just the frothy blow-off that we need to precipitate
a big fall when everyone comes to the conclusion that this
leg has ended when they try and fail to take the resistances out.
Assuming they do fail of course. ;-)

Melnibone -Quite correct in your logic. I reckon it will trace to around say 9700-9710 then go with gusto for 10000-11500 -in near future than before xmas -if it reaches that far in time spiral down. -But then what do i know -not much

Regarding you invitation to join the pattern, TA, elliot wave formation etc .. I am not qualified in TA, but I dare to propose the first attack, from the commensence none of them works, neither fundamentalist nor TA analyst is correct
Hope it interesting enough target point for those who are reluctant to join. Only specialised on one of that field even when you could make a Phd on that stuff, you will see your pocket soon empty and u better regret for not staying in writing programs, writing fundamental tips and literature which will be more profitable.
I stress again NEITHER Fundamental NOR technical analysis is right.

You are posting on a week old thread. The updated thread is on todays date.I hope u get my drift otherwise there will be the o/dated thread and current thread both going on at same time -which defeats the point somehow
