Thoughts

A fairly quiet market with Europe closed on the 1st for May day

US payrolls on Friday resulted in a very strong rally with both the FTSE & Dax making new 52 week highs. Miners also reversed their recent weakness.

The GLEN/XTA merger went ahead and hence XTA is no more, which is rather sad for me.

Well short of my 500 BPS weekly target, but still a modest profit.

Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.
