hmmmm just looking at FTSE 100, support at 6450 beginning of October, followed by support at 6420 beginning of feb.
Been pretty resiliant the FTSE 100 this afternoon.
6472 at the moment.
Looks to me that the US are unwinding/deleveraging early in prep for next year.
Still bullish for a XMAS bounce but we wont see it start until friday or mon next week.
Sold 5 positions off this afternoon. Wasnt going to lose that profit.
Folio looks solid on 10 positions now.

Hmmm interesting looking at DOW futures 50 plus and a load of market news to come this afternoon.
IF and I say IF this news is positive it could set us up here in the UK for the start of the Xmas bounce on friday and right on cue from last 2 years, so if things pan out, a late buy or two this afternoon ........stocks that follow indicies eg, ARM may prove a good trading set up going forward.
Things could go tits up mind.

OCDO + 6%, yep Cyners, very nice and looks at the moment my thinking in post 2422 was spot on although we will take a good half day to catch the Yanks as usual.
AHT and ARM usually follow the FTSE 100.
In AHT.
ARM may follow.

You look at the Yanks and the Germans indicies roaring away then look at ours and wonder if a COG is stuck or something. Give me strength.
Its alway s the same, and then we wake up the day after but then get caught with some shitty report at lunch time coming out of Wall Street.

as i was saying .......
dow now only +120 at 17655 and its been at least 100 points higher
as a result, cash ftse is now down 45 at 6430
it'll be very interesting to see how dow closes as that could have a major influence on tomorroiw's markets everywhere

Still bullish cyners hardly put a dent in my folio this morning.
Just think Santa is a tad late this year. Probably forgot to put his beard on.

Not what I expected for to-day,
I had a small amounts running with what I thought wide stop loss, but Av, was challenged.
Bugger Santa!
