what a day, supports on nearly all my aim stocks are broken and look real ugly now. hoil sold at 317 for 25%. profit. now have no blue at all in the portfolio! gulp!
ftse longs from 6.30 this morning at 5600 played out nicely tho. shame they werent loaded to the tune of the aim losses.
As an aside, lots of people on moral high horses today across some of the boards. Accusing others of being insensitive and others of profiting from misery. It wrankles a bit with me TBH.
Now, i pray for those lost, those that have lost and those that have passed to better places and hope that their pain passes as quickly as possible. the horific events that have unfolded are not deserving of anyone and are hard for most to even comprehend.
But......what allows someone who owns BP shares, for example, more of a moral highground than someone who shorted the ftse today? or those that are long ABF whilst ignoring the exploitation that occurs to make the clothes in primark and those on the boards today that pleaded saintliness as they 'would never short the nikkei' at times like these, whilst they shorted the dow and the ftse amongst other things! WTF, whats the difference, the same thing drove ALL the indices today.!
anyway, rant over. For what its worth i didnt short anything today, mostly cos it all happened whilst i slept.
ps. its just annoying me that folk claim this morality when in fact they do the opposite in life but in other ways, shapes or forms, some times knowingly, sometimes ignorantly. I'd rather be honest, up front and speak my truth.
all the best guys, hope you are all keeping well.
