Interesting that there's been a rise this morning despite the blood bath in the States last night and then the Far East. I fully expected the SP to fall rapidly on opening however we are on a sustained rise through the morning so far. Shorters will usually take any wobble in the markets to hit IQE hard. Interesting as maybe there is more appetite to close the open shorts at this SP level.

Weirdly enough Glenda's up against its peers this morning. I was expecting a blood bath but am also relieved this is not down further. Sick of seeing red everywhere though.

Where is this going I ask?

Why the big fall today? From 71 to 63.5 at its worst or about 6%. Thats huge on this current SP and much worse than other equities that have fallen 1.5% - 2% on average. I invested on Monday feeling confident about the good signs of stable 70s - 80s. Surely shorters can't be seeing this as a position to open fresh shorts. When will this going I ask.

Thanks Demon. Yes very interesting indeed. I suspect that explains some of the selling in other equities toady as markets try to price in the worries. CEY has done well today though.

Got close but low volumes not helping it push through.

Hi Demon. Whats happening on 18-19 December ? Not up to speed with events at the moment.

3 quid on the cards here. Very nice.

Copper at 279 and Asia all up. Might open well this morning.

May has to win tonight to avoid a widespread market fall tomorrow. I bought in yesterday, so hoping she wins and we see a return to the mid 70s tomorrow. Political brinksmanship is a dangerous game.

Trouble is MMs have no idea how to price this with political brinksmanship around every corner, but they'll jump on any chance to slam the price down and grab on the cheap. Any excuse.....

If she wins the vote it'll be goodbye 270s, hello 3 quid !

Im liking the nice rise right now as markets seem confident May will win her vote. But if she dosent then look out for a massive fall tomorrow. So much for Tory brinksmanship......

Most miners up despite copper being flat......go on Glenda, push on!

Remember remember the 12 of December. They'll be burning effigies later.....

The 48 letters required to trigger a vote of no confidence has now been reached and it looks like there will be a vote of no confidence tonight at Westminster. Look out for fireworks.

Glen holding up alright at the moment. Look out for fireworks tonight in parliament though.

Looks like there's going to be a vote of confidence for May between 18.00 - 20.00 tonight. The 48 letter threshold has been reached. Look out for fireworks.

Sorry to hear that. Im currently about 10k down, not a good feeling at all. I just can't stand seeing a rise in sp one day and then a big fall the next knowing that I could've sold at the top of any day and used the pot to buy back more shares, reduce the average and get to profit quicker. Its the fear of the unstoppable rush upwards that prevents me, but the rush seems unlikely at the moment in this cycle of daily boom and bust.

Ifonly1 the risky move is to sell on the next peak and pick up again 10p - 15p lower. Has worked for me in the past but of late this strategy cost me lots. I recently got in when we were at 337 but managed to average down to 326 on the fall only to sit through further falls to the 270s. Looks like my next target will be around 300 and wait for the predictable drop. Good news today on trade war talks but Christ knows where it'll be tomorrow.
