Trading usually too slow or too unpredictable for me at this time of year plus there are other distractions, so won't be trading much till Jan. Happy Christmas!

FRANKFURT (AFX) - German GDP grew a price-adjusted 0.9 pct in 2005 compared with a rise of 1.6 pct the year earlier, according to preliminary figures from the federal statistics office.
The country's budget deficit was 3.5 pct of GDP, down from a deficit of 3.7 pct in 2004 and lower than the 3.6 pct forecast of economists polled by AFX News.
While this is the lowest value since 2001, deficit still breached the EU's 3.0 pct deficit limit for the fourth year in a row.
Adjusted for calendar effects, German economic growth in 2005 was flat year-on-year at 1.1 pct.
The office said economic growth in 2005 was mainly driven by a dynamic foreign trade performance, with exports increasing 6.2 pct, while imports rose 5.0 pct.
Private consumption stagnated, government consumption fell 0.4 pct, equipment spending rose 4.0 pct, while construction spending dipped 3.6 pct.

ENS Germany-Data : Dec industrial output -0.5%mm
07-Feb-2006 11:00
German industrial output fell 0.5% on
month in Dec, leaving full-year growth
at just 3.4%, or 3.5% adjusted for
working days.
This is the second consecutive month
of declining output, and the drop is
sharper than November's 0.3% drop.
December's figures defy economists'
forecast in a DJN survey for increases
of 0.9% on month and 5.3% on year.
Manufacturing fell 0.8% on month, led
by sharp 2.4% drop in capital goods
production.
Construction sector was a surprising
outperformer, as production rose 3.4%
on month.
On 2-month comparison, overall output
was flat on Sept-Oct, and up 4.3% on
year-earlier period, adjusted for work
days.

Hello,
I currently trade DAX during first 3 hours. As of June, when it will open1 hour earlier, have potential 4 hours of trading, but it will be opening at 2am my time, so will miss first hour. Very sad for me since I am doing pretty good during it.
Guys and girls, what is your experience with Singapore Nikkei 225. Is it as good to trade intra day as DAX?
Thanks,
redduke
