Likewise, family members purchased 10,000 and 2000 at 46 and 56 respectively, so it looks like all of us are in for the long haul, the advantage is I can exit easier without paying any fees. This bet was initially aimed for March to May latest, it will no doubt shoot back up if it dodges the...

Hmm, is anyone Long on RBS? I went 60L @ 11p yesterday... I was going to make the plunge and buy actual shares but % for % gains would be better off in SpreadB considering the maximum I could lose is 660 or so... few people have called me mad, anyone else? :clap: What is the general view here...

Hmm, I feel to hold onto it for tomorrow as more figures are due out, I'm hoping for a sneak release of figures from a company today, it would make sense to release bad figures now as they will just blend in, anyone due to announce important figures today?

All I can say is "Wow", shorted the markets before the US economic figures came out... Next thing I know I have made record gains on both US and UK markets. Anyone think the US will recover by tonight, or break again under 8130?

Not sure why it was set to that! No, I'm currently a student in 2nd Year of University :) I think the position is going to be a two day here, with the hoping of very bad news coming out from Alcoa and Tuesday figure releases. Im dug in quite deep on the FTSE, not much choice but to ride it out.

Those profits from this morning are gone. Conclusion... Train journey + Position = Bad news :D Another 50% off portfolio today, I'm slowly burning.

Thank you so much!!! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Don't worry we all have our bad days :) If its any constellation to you... I lost 75% of my portfolio last week by misreading the markets. I think i am going to hold on long, always end up changing my view and demolishing my profits and causing somewhat dramatic losses. Persevere and the...

Now... Do I leave my position open while on the tube to London and risk a tube journey costing me an annual ticket? Who else is in Long, and who is in Short? News looks really positive today, but im worried about alcoa announcement and the knockon effects it might have. Anyone got any heads up...

Meh. I'm taking a gamble for today @ 30long. I expect a recovery after last weeks performance, luckily I got in at 4429. General consensus is FTSE up? There is some serious resistance at 4460...

Hmm, anyone looked at Aussie and S&P? Things seem to be on the up. Reckon this will play over into the FTSE? S&P strength will definitely help to set the mood for the US today.

I'm thinking of supporting a 5/6 per long position until may (the ftse will go up) its practically at its bottom level, I see the MAXIMUM worst case scenario drop as 3600, I can't realistically see it dropping near this though as the worst in terms of "Shock" realisations appear to be over. If...

You all thinking it is going to drop? I was going in 5 per long on Monday morning 0:00, not a good idea you reckon?

Burn markets burn... FTSE and US has claimed 75% of my portfolio this week, one of the worst trading weeks in my history

Im short.. and making nearly all my losses back :D
