FTSE 100 February

perhaps the whole world is waiting for the dax to finish it 5 leg C ?

:LOL:


edit
9000 hits in 9 days.

it must be your charts !
 
well I closed long for all of +2 which was some effort:-0 now if I had bought the dow on failure to break down thorugh 60 I would
not feel so hard done by :) Think I have to rely on US for my wages this week
 
Dow gonna hit overhead resistance soon. probably a good idea to close your long mate. unless of course it blows straight on through!

still, i would be inclined to sell into any strength this week.

but then again, please dont listen to me - i crash cars lol

thats really annoying isnt ....we get thousands of hits but there is only ever 2-4 posters at once on any thread on any BB
 
Hooya, go for it with all your worth lol..

pull out all the stops.

gotta try to make this market exciting again lol..


i was having a look at the ranges in the good old days. daily ranges of 70 points were on the quiet side!

interesting, the consensus of the guys on TT seems to be targeting 10300 on the DOW this week. which would be nice for those of us still short :)


we really could do with more people contributing. how long before we get to 10,000 members do you reckon? could well see it in march.

we have one 'guy' who permanently spends his time looking at July 2003 thread !

presumably on auto refresh cos that's when I posted a chart he liked ?
 
Probably this one is the reason:)

I think everyone is nervous of buying shares while the Dow might have a large retracement. I wish it would just drop like a stone for a couple of weeks, and then we might get back to some decent daily ranges.

Exactly,but don't worry, I think I could almost guarantee that some market momentum will be created just has soon as enough hedgings been put in place.

Cheers
 
now the moment of truth:LOL:

well, not a lot to say. I stand in awe of anyone who made more
than a packet of crisps today (and will you please pm me some
numbers for the lotto on saturday :) )

negative candle but not quiiiite negative enough, although very
fast fingered Rivalland followers might have hit the sell button
on the brief excursion below 4402.

have to see what tomorrow brings - it's almost a pity that I'm
playing golf :cheesy:
 
hmm
very ambiguous. got the drop but got the pull back too.

so 1142 is now the bogey

barjon
no trades for me today but I think hooya got the little blue packet ?
 
Sorry guys and gals, I'm new to this, so don't have much to contribute for now, so just reading and trying to figure it all out. Promise to post when I know what I'm talking about....:)
 
Seems the lad is being met with a mixed reception ?

Tom H of City Index has just been on Bloomberg saying he believes that the Dow is going to fall 3% to 6% over the coming weeks. He said that it may trade sideways for the next 14 days before heading down.
He sees 4200 for the FTSE.
Interesting view.

Although on the FT website he is quoted as saying
"The stock market is clearly in a holding mode," said Tom Hougaard at City Index. "There is no real conviction in the bears and the bulls are reluctant to chase the market higher as well. The result is a range bound market which seems to be headed nowhere fast."

So nowhere fast or down fast, I wouldn't be surprised to find another quote saying up fast somewhere!

Blimey he changes his tune everyday, the world will end before he has an opinion he sticks to.

My view is if he was as good at predicting as he thinks he is, he wouldn't actually need to work for City Index. He could sit on his backside and make a fortune as one of their customers.
 
yup I got the little blue packet that they used to put in Walkers
Salt and Shake...all of 2 points LOL. But then the futs bounced
sending the quote to 414. How annoyed was I. So shorted and got a few more but still holding some.
