Dow strengthening from early lows. Strong close today and tomorrow would hopefully give us a midweek bounce. looking more positive as the evening draws on. Lost a lot today, but only on paper, I always have been bad with stop-losses!

Yes Goldfinger im 12.2%down as i bought recently ,so far this has wiped out two thirds of the profit i made this year,,so im holding and hoping,,surely it has to get better..JB..

I hadn't thought to have a look at the whole of my portfolio. To be honest I was a bit frightened to see the results of the carnage. But strangely enough it is only down 2.6%. I shall sleep a lot better for that. Cheers GF

Finished all red. Correct sd sold gmc but still on my watch list... bu.....er

GF - I'm about 5-6% down on the two days too. Sting in the tail for me was an unexpected final results and equity raising announcement on PGI, just when I'd given up paying too much attention after lunch. That's nearly 1% in itself down this afternoon.

I sold nothing (think, rabbit in headlights) , but was pleased to see that some of my heavier recent positions were holding relatively steady during the day. Mostly it was my quite healthy profit positions that came under attack - am thinking of adopting the 25dma as a stop loss for those stocks that make a large initial rise of 50-200% with no developed chart as a guide. I can always buy back in lower at no loss if they stabilise below say the 50dma. Trouble with a 15-20% stop loss with volatile stocks is you get stopped out on temporary retracements. Look at ASC, BFC, DOO, FOGL, PGI for examples of what I mean I could have done as the chart broke down across the 25dma. It can be used on SEO currently.

What will tomorrow bring?

Oh what a laugh.......didnt see this thread as disappeared to the garden after the shock this morning, I cut 3 foot off the conifers in a rage, they are green also but then i felt closer to that blue sky tottering on the top of my 15' ladder :>)

Ended 12 red, 9 green but then PDL and ZIM havnt moved for ages (both suspended as im sure u all know :>) but at least they were safe!

Could have been worse, my oil and mining portfolio that im watching (and dont own) was 58 red and 10 green!!!!! and Stockdog, what will tomorrow bring?? not sure i want to know! Good luck everyone xx

Bring on Mystic Meg. Dow down 16 I think at close. Tuesday night is the biggy after hours in the US Intel report. Could decide which way the markets go in the short/medium term. My IT snitch tells me they are going to be good figures, Im not so sure myself but he normally comes up with the goods.

cheers GF. Fingers crossed.

Seems so far a good afternoon to follow the morning then for
us all - oil and gas, rental cars and music...There could be a
joke in there somewhere but it eludes me!
