rather than pick out individual stocks to trade, it can often be worthwhile to trade the indices themselves, especially in times of high volatility.

for those so inclined, i attach below charts for FTSE and FTSE 250, though one might equally be tempted to trade Dow or S&P, which is significantly broader in its coverage, or even NASDAQ

for ease of reading, i have attached 1 year and 3 month charts in each instance

Thought you were being a good garcon in Provence cynic!

i am i am i'm sorry to say

Are you sure Toya is not a man ?

only on a saturday night when one can't be quite sure, depending on how dark it is

i reckon jb has just about got it right. it is a question and not a statement.
cynic trying to extricate himself.
sorry to be a spoilsport.

I wonder why jb posed that Q? - I've never been considered a hermaphrodite before!

fwiw: I put my shorts on again last night at 5106 - so currently showing a loss but have enough margin to sit tight for a while.

I would be surprised if this rally continues for many more days. Don't mind if it does - I'd rather be seeing a strong economy but can't see too many signs of it :(

I think maybe you'll be taking your shorts off again soon

:-0

over this weekend the bikini could be on.....mind boggling.,.
edit: toya not me.......cynic!!

you'll just be making the donkeys nervous on weston beach!

down Exmouth for weekend getting a tan all over.......see you on the sea front in motorhome.,.

BB: my shorts (and more!) certainly will be coming off if the sun shines this weekend!

plus que c'a change, le plus est la meme chose

Why aren't you drifting about in the pool cynic?

That leopard skin thong got well worn over the weekend.,.

Sure did, BB. And my shorts felt a bit tight too...

Have some decorum cynic, please!
