Hello traders!

US stocks lost ground tonight as a rise in long-term interest rates and weaker-than-expected housing data sparked concern about a slowdown in the economy.

The Dow dropped 2.48 points to 10,709.74, off a morning high of 10,760.57. The Nasdaq Composite was down 4.6 points at 2,260.65 while the S&P500 dipped 2 points to 1,264.68.

Gosh!!

See you in the morning with updates.......

Happy trading!

Midday Market Summary

Hi folks, anyone use easy2spreadbet.com?

I don't have time to trade anymore, but I like the idea of doing really small spreadbets from time to time. Not going to make a lot of money, but it could be "fun" if I'm strict with what I do :-)

This account has a minimum 100 deposit - but does that mean if you go under the 100 (as other accounts), they will close all your positions!

I would be interested to hear from anyone who using this account and thier thoughts, experiences etc....
