afternoon

yesterday RIO was down 4.8% and pushed FTSE to its low of 5589, can we hit that low with RIO +1.5%?

I know that you set store by what the higher capitalised companies in the index do, SD, but I do not think that can be forecasted. Anything might happen this afternoon. A whole sector, like banking, might tank.

I thought that there might be a H&S, just now, but that possibility seems to be passing.

I have been in UStech, this morning, because I thought that US might go down. It, still, might, but a 3 point OOH risk on spread did not pay off for me. I might as well have waited for the afternoon.
