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

Gold is up again....if I were you I would be temped into a POG or CEY or even HGM, AVM long.....at the moment I'm at a bad loss on POG long....but I'm convinced that it is only a matter of time before a vertical rise will come...

Your barber has been sniffing glue by the look of it....

I thought 5500 would of held.

Apparently not ! :-)

Perhaps some sacrifices to the gods might make a difference.....now who first.....politicians perhaps.....?......or a good way of clearing prisons...?

Or the market makers :-)

Hang on. I know just the person.....BRB

We have our first, another one will be along in a mo, take it away sacrificers.....nice knowing you.

Count me out.

Empty the pool first,.. me hearties.....and may the first victim take the diving board position.....(*note ; must read this with a west country accent)...

Ahaaaar Jim lad!

I've just bought LGEN sub 1 - hmmmm.

One of the worst days ever.....and what bothers me is this ever going to stop ?.....I'll be forced into selling if the same happens again tomorrow......my POG long is a disaster.....badly need a turnaround

the one day I didn't have the opportunity to log on....what a good one to choose!

Dow now in utter freefall!!

another day like this and i'll be looking buy dow at 11160 - if i don't take cyanide first

I can't afford another day like today without closing a few daft longs of mine....and that's in gold producers...crazy.... non ?....
