The other thought that has just come to me is to just scalp the last hour of the Dow. Leaves me free all day, can give the market a study on way home and catch up with news. Shouldn't get mega moves that will blow the account. Good regular dose of adrenaline. Maybe something like £20 pp - stop...

Closed my Russia investment BTW for 11%. Was expecting that to be a long term hold but just couldn't resist taking that profit and seeing what it does over summer. Was only a few weeks. I am now 90% cash which is odd. May spend some time thinking what I want to do there too.

Thats what is annoying me right now. Not the loss. The fact that I didn't work the trade. I thought it would get this low, but couldn't help trying to ride the smaller waves along the way. Again, not the first time by a long shot My big problem with that approach is that I just can't watch the...

Yeah trends always kill me. Anyone recognise these issues: Getting out of trades too early Changing mind on direction Averaging down too soon Not waiting for move to fully play out All problems I have had before... Anyway I still have £2k of profit and could have afforded to lose the whole...

Over far too soon.... Taken the loss and getting out with the £2k to spend. Maybe try again in a few months.

Going to withdraw £200 to spend on stuff I wouldn't want to spend wages on. Maybe some blu rays for the kids and some expensive bed linnen. F'ing rock n roll huh. Wolf of wall St I am not. (Yet).

Out + £700.

Really wish i had held dow now. Hay ho. Made a quick £50. FTSE target 6840 but will see what happens tmrw. Fancy a sell off first thing.

Another s £10 FTSE 6886.

The honest is that I don't get why dividends affect an SB index. I understand it happens but don't know when or the mechanism for why. What I also really didn't understand was why it didn't seem to change the providers point from which it calculated up\down. Also didn't understand why one...

No point having money sat on sidelines. FTSE looks way too high. S £20 6880.look to exit on a sell off at the open tmrw.

OK I'm out. With these charges I only made just £200. Oh well at least I feel a bit more relaxed now. Total profit so far £500. 10% in 3 days.
