Carnage. Topped up a little on a couple of miners today. HOC held up well considering also NYCT.

AML were proposing a rights issue at 216p yesterday... current price 210p. Somehow I don't think that is going to fly.

What a day!
Good call on Walmart Froddy.....was green when I last saw and looked very isolated in that respect.

This is only going downhill from here- act on your Pensions fellas if you haven’t yet done so. It’s gonna get a lot worse.

Thanks Wattie, what a day indeed! I've been scrambling to find upside protection to hedge me in the event that the market rips higher, as I'm quite heavily short and, as you know, I'm not at all happy about the put:call ratio. I went long WMT last week, and I like the way it's behaving, so I've added more long calls. It's in a bullish volatility squeeze:

Netflix has fallen out of the "distribution" pattern on the 78 min chart, which is a bit of a nuisance:

Normally I would close out my long in this situation, as price now appears to have entered the "decline phase". That is, until you see this trendline on the daily chart (peek-a-boo!):

So I've hedged my bets by buying a put trade too, pending the price deciding whether to hold trendline support over the next day or two.

Hope things are going well for you ...

Mixed day, trail stopped out of miners.....think I’m gonna give them a miss from now on- too volatile! Expecting my ASX miners to get stopped out today.

So, the market’s been open 2 minutes and the most predictable bounce ever has seen the FTSE 100 rise 1.5% already. Just for fun, I’m going to predict that by the end of the day it will have regained a third of yesterday’s losses. I have no knowledge or skill behind this production, it’s just my wild guess. Anyone else fancy predicting the closing figure for the FTSE today?

In amongst the madness and wild swings, the most stable stock I have right now is EUZ. That has been practically flat-lined all year in comparison.

Probably spot on, expect it to plunge in the coming weeks.
Sell all rally’s.
They rely on “greater fools”
It’s only going to get worse, globally for the next 8-12 weeks at least.

So, I was wrong. Sort of.

The FTSE 100 did regain the third of yesterdays losses that I thought it would. But it did that by lunchtime, then lost if all again this afternoon, to end up back where it started at 8am this morning.

People not so foolish selling rally’s!
Feds done another $180 Billion. The banks are demanding more and more each day! It’s getting worse. Do not keep lots of cash in your bank.


No amount of money can replace missing workers not doing jobs and supply chain failures.
