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

Good point cynic, but even so Europe is the biggee until some relief is seen there were Fxxxd. CNCBC are rattling on about history and the last time 1961 there was a twist big rally followed, we'll see :O)

DOW on offer @11019 for the brave/stupid.

Sell sell sell, short short short

Didn't Warren Buffet say to do the opposite from the crowd?

f*** The sage

DOW looks to be going down again at the open. Currently -190'ish.

-290 ?

It was -190 when I looked at 13.25 hrs, honest! All over the place now. Grim nevertheless.

Yes dire - DOW 10,795 to buy atm!

Casino opens in 30 mins, place your bets. Those crazy yanks could do anything :O)

Closed all my shorts, indices could be a bit oversold for Friday.

God bless America, and thank you for today's huge profits.

Could O'Banana please speak next Tuesday so I have time to short everything.

WTI $81 BRENT $106 when is it going to tank?

anybody brave enough to go long tonight!

lol

I have 10,589 as the intraday low for the DOW on the 9th August - tonight?

Doubt it will go that low Skinny my guess it will close around 10840 - 10880 but who knows there may even be a bounce Friday looks oversold to me.

"Do you have faith in the Fed" seems to be the#1 question over in crazy land, are there enough expletives in the world to answer that one. :O)

if you can separate politics from "actual" economic performance then you can see the way forward.

Glad to see you are still with us halifax

Bernard - its @10,750 now!

On edit - sorry you mean close!
