FTSE 100

Target hit Libero....good call.

You've played these markets well....you kept an open mind which was a good thing....well done and good on you!

i was too busy being a uber bear and in hindsight i have to say...got it completely wrong.

To be fair(gonna blow my own trumpet here) i did call the Dow down to the low 18,000 quite early on....
the strength of that move made me think it would go lower....

Anyway it is what it is....and as they say "the market is always right"...

good luck everyone...whichever way you see these markets...stay lucky and keep well...

You flatter me as always TF, and while I'm grateful to you for your kind remarks and great charts, I don't derserve it.

The scalping - the fear of holding anything for sustained period - is just too intense, and it simply fuels mistrust in everything.

Who is driving this market - really? it can't be you and me, Remo etc... it's gotta be the super powerful and super rich - if this is how it is, why should i trust them?

Sorry, I know it opens up a wider topic, so I'll not go there, but this is why I don't buy and hold. I don't trust these people.

Buying and holding is POG, GKP, Deutche Bank etc.... Buying and holding is Enron etc... I don't want it. These markets are nasty and rigged, excuse me, have had "interventions".

So, it means that i have to duck and dive for a few pennies here and there - which isn't good for the health either, surely!

You've made some terrific calls yourself TF - and 18,000 was just too good - please don't stop!

Now, I think with this sort of eurphoria (see attached), we'll see a good retracement, don't know when - that's something for Remo, WaveSurfter, MadMaxx and the gang to help us with!

speaking of holding - The only shares I still hold are GKP a £5k investment now worth less than £200. Not complaining at all believe me. I'm going to cash out and offset CGT.

Lastly, if like me, any of you good people made a trading error, then let me refer you to an excerpt from Stan Drunkenmiller:

"What did i learn? I didn't learn anything - I already knew that I wasn't supposed to do that (make a bad trade) - I was just and emotional basketcase and couldn't help myself. So, maybe I learnt not to do it again, but I already knew that"

Wishing you all good health, and don't be strangers; Remo set up a great board here for us!

If there meant to be a correction it should happen about now imo, nasdaq is at at top again, sp500 and dax at 76% fib line, also 5 waves move can be seen across markets,I just don't know what a degree of this move is.

CHART

Well we have the Dow covered by the brilliant analysis!

what about the ftse?
The fear is certainly here! and we are seeing some big drops especially todays candle.

ftse - daily.
uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=chartscreenshotsh...iTS+VKzEHlv2x8LnSig=

could 400 be a possible?
if we break below the current (pink) channel then 4940 the April low comes into play below that would open 4000!!

ftse - weekly
uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=chartscreenshotsh...b0grOFUBKa+nC+Y7jIs=

The weekly long term chart shows 4000 would be a retest of the trendline from 2003 and 2009.....

lets see....does seem anything is possible atm...
