the last of my profit and close my last long.
Not saying that the FTSE is going down, but near the
top of the trend channel the risk is to the downside
unless you get a trend channel breakout. As I've
said before, all is not lost if we get the breakout,
it usually comes back to test the previous resistance
as a support at least once, which will give me another
entry point.
So I ve not gone all bearish, just adjusting position
to the risk/reward situation.
Good luck to anyone staying with the longs.
Melnibone.

I'm not really much of an expert on the DOW, not much
of one on the FTSE come to think of it :-), but if you
twist my arm I would say that if the S@P/DOW continue to
rally, then I would look for highs of 1085/10,235 and then a
sell off.
If it doesn't go higher I would expect a retreat from 10,200
on profit taking and a retest of the new 1075 support,
previously resistance, on the S@P.
Don't know if that fits in with your own views, but there you
have it.
Melnibone.

US has got 2 Hrs left to decide what it wants to do.
Take profits, or push on to a new leg up so that
the Fund Managers can end on super end of year
reports for their clients; oh, not forgetting those
fat bonus's they'll collect before taking it back
after the hols so that they can cover the same ground all over again.
Bush would like that, nice rising markets into his re-election
campaign whilst his buddy, Al Greenspan keeps the rates low
to get some inflation going and fuel some more spending.
Dollar will keep going down at these low interest levels. If the
Euro gets much stronger it's going to effect exports and may increase
pressure on Europe to keep interest rates lower, or, heaven forbid,
start cutting them again. That'll please Gordon, especially now
they've changed the rules so that the BOE will meet re-rigged inflation targets
without having to raise rates and further increase the strength of
the pound and the difficulty of exports.
Cynical? Moi. ;-)

Seems as if the S@P is visiting the highs it opened
at on Monday. Be interesting to see what happens when it
hits them. If it actually closes over the 1085/1086 area
we'll have to start strapping our horns on again. :-)
FTSE after hours trading doesn't seem impressed with it,
it's only a smidgin over 4400.
