FTSE / DOW YTD

12/28 up.

Overall down.

UMMMMMM.

Morning. Looks like an up day.

Good Morning.

The Papers

Good morning! Fingers crossed!

It couldn't happen to a nicer man! - Theresa May to block John Bercow’s peerage

Morning all. Blue, blue, blue. Everything up or flat today.

Asia stocks rise broadly on U.S.-China trade relief

Morning all. So far CC/CD..so far -):

21/28 up.

Will it continue?

Whatever it is.

Still not putting dividends in.

I'm not sure whats different today, but the FTSE could touch 7000 in short order?

That's this month's option expiry done. Let's see what happens next.

7000 today would be nice.

From what I can see on L2, the trade flow looks really good. Volume is reasonable and sellers are waiting for the price to come to them.

I assume it's
1. No deal Brexit looking incredibly unlikely
2. Rumours Trump is going to cut tariffs
3. Shorts getting fried (or long term shorters on a downtrend line from August closing)
4. Whilst 410 on AV., or 243 on RBS or 57.5 on LLOY seems good compared with a month ago it's still cheap imho

Employment good, wage rises good, inflation low enough that interest rate rises will be limited. What's not to like?

Agree 1,2,3,4

Barc. is beginning to show hope. (Expect 225).

I hope, BJ, JRM, Redwood etc. are in pile 3.

Only 50 to go to 7000 now. Can we get there today? Perhaps the Dow can give us an extra push.

Certainly an interesting day

Significant buy programs launched on RBS and LLOY about 15 minutes ago.

This could get very interesting. how long will they run for? until 14:30 or for the rest of the day?

40 to go now...

27/28 Blue.

I am not going to look any longer.

All but one of mine blue or flat.

Bitcoin getting pummelled which might be telling us normality has resumed.

I mentioned 7000 almost tongue in cheek!!

I can wait until Monday Skinny.

In the meantime all the financials still looking good. I'm looking forward to the last hour.
