rather than pick out individual stocks to trade, it can often be worthwhile to trade the indices themselves, especially in times of high volatility.

You still on the source?

not even at the source of the sauce ....... why?

.. I'm not pepaired to speculate.

DOW - gone long 20,629 ...... logic - support at 20,610 had been holding pretty solidly for some time

though DOW closed -60, it is worth noting that the critical 20,610 level held

Parachutes for sale!
