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

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
