Stock record ride ‘has reached epic proportions,’ Morgan Stanley says

Good morning!

Morning all!!

Morning all.

With regard to the Reuters article the question is whether the rally will continue to Xmas or whether we will have a pull back first.

I'm not sure but with regard to my investment portfolio I've being nearly 100% invested for the last 3-4 months. I've started selling a little. Now 3% cash and I've got a couple of stocks WEIR and ALD which if they give me just a 1-2% rise from here I'm going to sell a little more. Might hold on to ALD though as someone is buying significant volume.
WEIR I want shot of as the price is supported by weak pound and I think cable is going to rise as Brexit becomes clearer. I don't think commodity prices have much further to run either.

CC, I have learnt to take no regard to predictions on which way the market is or isn't likely to go, just trade what you see and feel is my way.
