Title: FTSE100
Post by: Barman on September 22, 2011, 12:54:44 PM
Quote from: Mark Wadsworth
If technical analysis (which means recognising patterns in charts) predicts movements correctly, the FTSE 100 index (i.e. most UK quoted shares) will trade in a narrow band for the next few days and then drop by about a thousand points.

Bit of profit taking before the half year I should think

I don't believe anything the press say but no doubt they will be making a meal out of it.

Here we are on the verge of a double dip wotsit, credit crunch par excellence, retail in a downward spiral etc etc and yet...

Yesterday I had three meetings in town. The middle one was in fact a hastily arranged lunch; could we find a restaurant at short notice? Nope. I think we ended up at the 3rd or 4th choice and that one was heaving. Fully booked and with people waiting to spend considerable sums.

Makes ya wonder ...  rubschin:

WTF! I have been up there and down here many times in my life.
Lunches in the city, boxes at the races, Wimbledon etc and within months back at the soup kitchen.

As it stands I am perfectly content to be bumping along the bottom.

I guess my main ambition now is to last as long as I can.

Trouble with that is that he will last a long time but will know nothing about it. I want someone to put a pillow over my head if I go that way. I am sure Growler would oblige  noooo:
