Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[barjon]

It's going to be a while before a pullback because no one is mad enough to short.

mmm, I was reading somewhere that borrowed shares are at the highest level for some time, so I guess there must be a good few positioning themselves.

I remember reading that, but that was at least 6 weeks ago - about margin being back to 2007 levels.

No one should utter the dirty S word !

So lets see what happens this thur/fri !
