watch the tail don't whip around and catch you in the butt (lol) --- Know what you mean here tho' ---GL.

Used to be called "jobs for the boys " ---- from today will be called " jobs for the girls " (lol) ----

will trade down to as little as 50 p / point on most things ( better if you're just starting out ) - but you do really need two different platforms when you start proper , to give you the necessary diversity /options -- IG & Finspreads for example ) -----

Don't really know much about ETF's , so can't answer that one ? ----Dow didn't like the giddy heights of 17100+ ( closed out @ 17019--happy with that ) ---GL.

Incredible stuff from the Dow , powered up thru' 17100 -----Ftse100 not even in the same ball-park at the moment ----( stopped out but short again from 17113 ) --stocks looking very weak here -----GL.

have a very good web platform but a little bit expensive --- i just use the IG real-time daily i min. charts and overlay the technicals, esp. the RSI --suits me fine without paying any monthly charges , altho' they have a very good subscription realtime -pro. that pays you back the £30.00 month if 4 or more deals are done . --Have used guaranteed stops on equities but not on Indicies as they can be expensive and the spread is too wide .----I usually stick to within £5.00 / point , but have on occasions been exposed up to £100.00 /point . But that is only when things are rising into extreme "overbought " or falling into extreme " oversold " parameters . --- It can get a little " tense" when i'm under that much " exposure . ---Others i blog with on gold etc. tell me they have been "exposed" for 4 figure sums / point ----SCARY !! or what ? ---------------------ICAP just coming back from slightly oversold , i see , so may be a good entry point ---lot to do tho ' to negate the 6 month downtrend , 375/380 first target res. then 400 p ( 340 p s/l. ?? ) -----Dow futures have turned positive , so must watch my short closely on the bell -------GL.

well, couldn't have asked for a better start to the week ,-----Long closed a few minutes ago @ 17080 for 172 points .I do see higher , but perhaps a breather for now ?? --- small short posn. now ( tight stop , just in case ) --GL.

Yes, thanks , looking very bullish ---took just 15 points off my short and went long @ 16908 ( 17000 will get tested again and probably breached again very soon ) -----GL.

As i was writing -----GL.

Will give you the fundamentals on SMDS , i'm sure , when he calls in again . ---- Your turn of phrase "bees on flowers" is being rather polite , where i come from we say " like a chicken on snot " , but then i am a country "bumkin " after all (lol) --- No , i'm not a full time trader , just an early retiree with too much time on his hands (lol) ---my good lady prefers to do the gardening ( mowing the lawns again as i post ) cook the food , clean the house , wash the car , do the shopping ----- so what else can i do , but try and make enough money to keep her happy in what she enjoys doing (lol) -----I jest , of course ?? ---GL.

Recomm. is from back in May when sp stood at around 340 p ?? ---perhaps you can answer Anotherh. better than me on SMDS --- i have opened another posn. @ 264.75 p ---still very oversold . Dow not going according to planned --should have held 16900 ( short from there now ) -----GL.

Current sp 248.75 p ----support @ 240 p -----target on 7 month downtrend is between 270 p and 280 p ( next touch and 50 EMA ) ----potential 10 % gain . -----GL.

see how my last post may seem " confusing " --- Bit of a rise towards 50 EMA before dropping away again to 200 EMA is what i meant (lol) --GLA.

The film "Kelly's Heroes " ? ------That's the way to get rich -----just got to dodge a few germans (lol)----now might be an ideal time while they're all in Brazil (lol) ------GL.

well i'm not into buying and selling Gold yet as a hedge trade (lol) -------GL.

as fickle as markets ---brutal on insurers today !! --- nice to see that 180 p ish level holding ---doubled up today as now on RSI 30 ( oversold) and popped out of lower Bollinger which stands @ 491 p on close today ---Dow Jones has recovered well so far , so can see this one rise tomorrow ( famous last words ) --- 200 EMA stands @ around 475 p ish --hasn't seen 200EMA since july last year so may see it now before drop is finally over ?? ---------GLA.

at Halifax Share Dealing have just taken three days to sell my remaining Axa Biotech and i've lost out on the deal by £194 -00 ( i've just had my own rant with them ) ------

asking about my " tummy bug " - doing better today . ------Aviva has held that 480 p level so far !! good to have a good old rant now and again (lol) ---seems i got into ITV a bit too soon ( looks like Dow 16860 has been breached as i write ) ------------GL.

least yours does rhyme !! ----well, the yanks all at sixes and sevens again --caught it for a few quid on the futures pull back and now long from 16804 --would seem to be a gap that needs filling ( hopefully ) ?? although 16860 putting up a fight at the moment !! ---------------------------------- tomc ----triggered a BLVN long for me as well ( fingers crossed !! ) -------GLA.

The new Paradigm should be " Sell in July and go away " ? --nobody says it has to rhyme !!----GLA .
