Many thanks for your efforts with this thread Skinny.
I'm afraid I'm completely confused by the direction of this market over the last week.
Having sold quite a few holdings on the ftse run in early/mid Jan I've been watching the bulls and bears fighting it out. It's clear that if the bulls can break the multi-year top, ftse should run away to the upside.
On the other hand the longer it doesn't break through, the more I see a fall to the downside first.
It all seems very dependent on whether oil is going to retrace from here.

The Middle East, Ukraine and Greece are also poisonous thorns.
It is a B. awful market. Reducing SBS and widening stop losses again.

Morning CC & Fred,
The European markets seem optimistic about the latest Greek prognosis - I see that the question of further Irish debt concessions have been raised in the last day or so -
Deal on Greek debt will not benefit Ireland, say EU ministers
and to get it all in perspective!!! :-

87-year-old long-term investor
I think the holdings may well belong to a time when those stocks
were doing well or flying high!
I wonder what he holds in 'Other' (15%).
