Morning T. I see Dow Futures set to fall 600. Might ease a bit later, but keep an eye on that. I must say the OCDO placing was a belter. Just when you wonder whether there is any money left they raise a cool billion! They'll be fighting to take each other over just for the cash piles soon. Still as you say, this creates opportunities

The press are answerable for a lot of panic. Everyday they took about Dow crashing, which often results in .5% decline. The fact is the Nasdaq hast it record high and the Dow is 10% down on the beginning of the year, when it was already overpriced. Unfortunately a lot recovery stocks in UK seem to have been hit hardest, which is of course most of them. Headlines like' UK economy is going to suffer the most in Europe" then as an aside 'if we get a second spike.' Some people argue that we are already in the second spike because nobody realised we were in the first one in February. Anyway buy/sell/hold all comes out in the wash GL all

I tried to get back in. First off I put CLL as the ticker code and nearly bought some health company I'd never heard of and now can't even get a quote small porthole in Carnival

No worries T. I folded quite early, actually for a slightly higher price but for costs. Very unpredictable, Trump! In fact Fxpo has been my only good move!. Should have just stayed put, but some how I feel a little easier without quite as much exposure to what is a risky situation however the sp performs.

Dow futures turn negative. Another good day to sit on hands S, or spot of manual work!

in @ 14.80. CCL. might try for a few more later. I rarely go all in. FXPO excepted:)

Dropping fast with TUI. Fed comments cant be helping but Dow futures actually up

Ok T. 15.08 now. Everything seems to be drifting off lower

I think this is going to be a bit of consolidation. or sideways for a weewhile. Too much confusion. In March we knew everything was oversold.Now its harder to work out which way is boom and which way is bust. Carnival still gently drifting lower . £15.25 last time I looked

wouldn't die typo

S. Is it the Stihl? They are fantastic. Nearly bought one but the old petrol one would die! Quite glad my chain sawing days are over though to be honest. I guy I know uses them for his ice carving

Thanks T. On radar!

I think you've done well if you made enough to buy a wing mirror today M. I bought back a few of the shares I offloaded recently. Smallish profits but they all add up to a significant amount providing they go back up eventually! MARS, HFD, SSPG, FXPO.

No T I didn't in the end. Been having a problem with iWeb and got a buy order stuck. Have closed my Post Office Account so will have a bit more cash soon. I had a friend who was one of those poor subpostmasters hounded by the witch who ran it at the time. Hope they get due compensation (long over due).

RXC. I have the same thing on IWEB. Apparently you can only get 250 live quotes a day because it costs them for each quote.(money for old rope) I was trying to buy stock this morning I pressed the buy button immediately only to be timed out. Only had 14 of the 15 seconds left. Ridiculous. Does anyone know if IG have a limit because I have had quite a few 'errors' after pressing the buy button there too.

T . profit taking as futures down now. Wise move I suspect on Ocado. I closed some positions that were marginal, to buy back later or tomorrow. Fxpo are quite difficult to get hold of at the moment but have still put a lower buy order in just in case

Managed to buy back some Fxpo now its back under my sell price. Might have a pop at OCDO. Isntit supposed to go up on a down day? Hovering a bit indecisively at the moment like me!

looking like reality check day!

Wow. What a lot to read now! Seems we are all roughly in the same boat! A. There are so many sayings about the stock market, number 985 'He who lives by the crystal ball will see it shatter. There are just so many variables right now. Its like plotting a chart through shifting sands. On Stockopedia there have been many seemingly knowledgable financiers owning up to loosing big time on shorting he DOW. The Dow is an economy of its own it seems. Momentum and value are what I look for. Never get all the calls right all the time. Its a simple game, (just like rugby! to quote Brian Moore))so long as most of them are winners dont worry about what you missed out on. Good luck

Someone mentioned problems with IG today. They are rubbish at updating SP's too
