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

ouch!! .... that was unnecessarily brutal

The FTSE must go up. Investors cannot afford to keep cash in the bank, with interest rates being held for 1-2 more years. King said today inflation will rear its head again.
I do not think it will be Thursday some how.

FTSE Tipped for strong early gains

bizarre! Stay safe my friends.

I went the other way after hours skinners, Dow just covered +203 :-)

splat :-)

ECB Monthly Report at 9 should give some direction - or not!

DOW give up after europe's concerns and want to see believe from there so europe's markets leading a pack..amazing

We will be ok after france downgrade.
