morning all,frosty one here in bedfordshire.

Morning all.

Good Morning all

-2.5 this morning here in Extremely Sunny Hampshire

Bad day spreadbetting yesterday - had to keep away and cross my fingers! I was long PSN and FTS100.

PSN dropped so far that if I closed the positions I would have wiped out all the profit made to date. I decided if it continued this morning I would finally close it - but this morning its pull right back up, so I'm very relieved.

Oh and the 10p FTSE100 is +54 at the moment

lw,it was that cold here i had to snap the dog off the lampost :-)

lol

MB - how are you doing?

doing fine thanks,10% cmc s/b 90% Betonmarkets and its the best thing i done was to change over,no screen watching and i can do what i want when i want :-)for instance i put 3 contract on that cable would not touch 1.725 or 1.728 over a 7 day period with a 16% return if you take out the weekends that is only 4 days you have to worry about and unless the sky falls in it aint going down that low,it easier money :-)

Mega...

good for you MB

Decided to switch my FTSE100 Long to short

This is a postion must be closed by March 17.
I suppose I should move to a later closing date, sooner rather than later

just noticed PSN goes ex div next week - better start looking for something else to trade!

Midday Market Summary

So far I've made about 10 (@10p a point) on the FTSE100 today. Long again

Shame my PSN long is not doing so well ;-(

End-of-day Market Summary

LW - I'd rather be a tenner up than down, that's for sure. There's all day tomorrow still untouched... ;-)

lol thanks Greystone - I keep forgetting what day it is - so much for my rule about
not trading Thursdays & Fridays! (But then I didn't do much yesterday?)
