Why would you buy another when you haven't got the first one fixed yet ?

Yeah but it implies a continuous facility for a continuous need and I did warn everyone last time. Share profligates will be all over this today, and the big firms won't need to hire shorters, they hyenas and vultures will descend all by themselves.

Another death spiral

High PT - this is a good company and all, but you seem a little lonely on here ? Thought I'd better come and say despite the fall that seems to be happening at the moment in world markets I totally endorse your confidence and always look to this one when the FT100 is happy. Just not happy a the moment and Brexit is a big reason and could hurt this short term. However, hang in there because you are backing a winner.

Hi Lanie, rough night, having a coffee to revive myself.... I'm going to defend myself by saying I called the bounce, but I thought the plunge would re-start before 8am. US stocks held on, but futures now down. Oil down. Gold up. Asia did not really join in. Dax and Cac futures up - but woeful (literally) FT futures down. I'm calling EW3 strikes today, and strikes hardest on the FT100. Sometimes when you get an EW5 it's just the EW1 of a much bigger correction. I think this EW5 should take us back to the June lows, but if that's 1 of a bigger 5 then the Dec lows are back in play. Where will gold be then ? Where will the FT100 be then ? This year's rally has been about the US feeding out money, and yet that is not being invested...

Taking stock (as it were), US and BRICs having a bounce - a dead cat I suspect - EW2 - but we didn't get much above break even on the FT100. Gold storming, oil flowing away, I wouldn't want to be holding funds in US or EM stocks this evening, I can't see a happy ending. Maybe wrong.

Don't know Langie but India up - US futures up, gold flat, oil up, maybe an arrest in the decent this morning, could just be EW2 of course, probably will be if we do arrest, but that's my call

Morning Langie, morning all. Asia way down, oil down as you say, gold motoring, but £ steady. Futures dismal. I know what you're going to say "risk off". Can't disagree with that.

Good old share profligates, nice to see some action here though

UK futures down 1%, eurostoxx 2% gold off last night's spike but still up, oil off it's low, £ still lower... Indians, Aussies and Russians not down too badly...Brazil up... A day to be short - but hard to judge timing.

DJI dropped 2% on Trump tweet - be interesting to see how the FT100 does tomorrow. Trump & Smith, two blokes who just keep getting in the way, and succeed in provoking very un-British responses from us which just make us look undignified. So they win ? and will carry on being provocative. I think gold's taking off and not coming back until the madman has left the asylum. At least we got Smith out. Load up one and all, "there's a storm coming in..... I know"

Its a slow one but it will get there. Share profligates and their kin don't like SS at all but for me its been a sensible thing to keep the trickle of oil coming and build gradually. There is a bit of oil flowing and it will flow for as long as we need oil, but IMHO the bashers won't be hushed by today. Such a shame. So important a self isolated Britain makes the most of its natural assets and gets behind ventures like this and SXX. As usual, worthless parasitic press will bite it to bits and that - not the EU - is why we are where we are. Lament over.

Thanks for that one - I'll stick a to in and buy little bits on dips

Did you see the STAF RNS last night ?

Yep Asia and Americas down - futures down - oil gold and £ down. It's been a good day for the FT100 when the £s has been down and bad since it bottomed but everything else points to gloom and doom today at the moment. Shorts on to cover losses on my stock holdings. Out of gold and oil ETFs - and wait.

Yep - it's been a day for safe havens alright today - though we might get a traditional Wednesday with a change of direction at half time - let's see...

Hi all, certainly not boring with those 3 around is it ? Form book out of the window. Friday and Monday steady rises - very rare - Tuesday - usually a straight up - a crooked down. What next ? Gold up massively - miners haven't really followed - oil on a bounce... Some individual shares have done well but I've started slicing and buying dips now - chaos season is upon us... What chance another "correction" this autumn - every chance IMHO. Interested to hear others views

Morning all, last Friday saw a FT100 intraday reverse - used to be a 50% event but that was the first in 6 showing how turbulent things have been. So for me all bets are off today and it's see a profit - take a profit time - and buy gold, and perhaps oil - on the dips. Futures up so should be some profit this morning before the disruptor wakes up.

Hey Troj, some say silver has to go up first but did you notice gold following it... Oil is crumbling... Only bad news for me is £ rising. Why ? because the market loves a hard Brexit I reckon.. Looks like gold will be my savior - is this the moment all the gloom and doomers have been predicting ?

Futures down, gold not up, oil down, everyone bar NZ and Brazil down, and Thursday has normally been a one way street. £ rebound won't help... My moneys going to be mostly in short funds today I think.
