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

yes i am and obviously i'm blind, but guess dosh and gob were indeed disassociated

splat - brave boy! i looked at IG live prices at about 22:00 yesterday and they indicated a further slump on dow after hours, similarly reflected in ftse cash

Glad to see you are NOW with the programme C. Let's hope the rumour that the number 4 reactor has no water and is leaking, is untrue otherwise we will see yesterday's massive volatile Indices.

pretty scary isn't it .... that's why i watch carefully and happily bank even modest profits, even if it means (perhaps) buying back at a higher price in due course

PS - when you get to my age, you too may be on medication if you are not already!

Would never take Viagra, my father tells me it causes a big headache.

nor i, but then not required either

If you say so C.

would i lie???? ..... ask the late (un)lamented cielo/mrsi!

Let's hope things hold blue (Not Viagra blue) for the rest of the day.

Just for once DOW is looking to open in positive territory.
All we need now is for another japanese reactor to catch fire..........

bernard - you can hold but not swallow :-))

Harry please. if that happens we will blame you.

Back door KY eh C.

why else would one enjoy public school, especially when linked to a good flogging?

At my public school masterbating was considered normal, but not more than two participants at a time, multiple sword crossing was considered homosexual.

Remember the old saying just becaue you kiss a guy that does not make you gay.

what if you kiss my arse? :-))
and on that happy note, i shall depart the office for a technical afternoon - aka playing golf

Fore

Glad to see you two have kissed and made up..........bitch cynic wait till I se you!!

Mr.C reminds me of a friend I brought home for tea many years ago, I told my old dear mum he was gay, to which she said nothing wrong with being a happy person.

C will remember when it was illegal to be gay and they got jail time.

Wasn't that why Oscar Wilde legged it over to The Continent?

Was he gay.
