Its in profit now, I'm looking for 10 - 15 points tonight before I call it a day.
Will close tonight.

 

[postman]

Ftse closes on low of the day, s&p closing on high of the day.

 

[postman]

ftse's going down again.

will it drag the dow down too?

Just seen that.

No - the ftse will NOT drag the dow down!

 

[postman]

Looking for a move to 6800 - 6810 before another pump. 6820 sup holding but for how long? Cable down/oil up a bit should prop up ftse but other index's dragging.

...but other index's dragging.

I think the other indices are preempting the massive fall on the s&p when it hits 2200.

Its in the article I linked to.

"HALF A YARD OF CABLE

Some expressions have endured despite the changed dealing room environment. "Yard," meaning billion comes from shortening the French word for billion, which is "milliard."

"Cable" - one of the most-used slang terms - means the British pound/U.S. dollar currency pair and refers to the transatlantic telegraph cable that allowed prices to be transmitted between the London and New York Exchanges."

stoxx 50 headed to 3105 by the end of the week.
Ftse will come back to 6871 just a matter of time.
Markets fall in anticipation for rallies. This is the new norm.
