London looking pretty calm, indicating about -32 from last night's close ...... After Dow's late collapse, that is encouraging ... always assuming the sellers do not rush in when the market actually opens

Good morning all.

Morning all,no positions open at the moment,wont be trading for about a week,off to scotland on friday for a weeks metal detecting :-)

as if anyone cares ...... but have closed running shorts on both Dow and FTSE (bank manager says thank you!) and have just opened a FTSE long as market looks very calm and therefore imo likley to recover quite well ..... Dow indications are currently strong, but shall wait until opening time probably before considerinmg whether to take a punt

DOW ..... made no real attempt to break through 11200 yesterday, though from memory 11250 may prove a sterner test ..... However, current indication are at lease a recovery above 11100, so if FTSE stays (pretty) solid, and there are signs that it will, then it just may be that DOW will have a good day and test or even break that 11200 mark ...... Anyone feel strongly otherwise?
