Thoughts


A difficult week, well below my 2.5% weekly target.
The equity markets were volatile again, with miners getting badly hit. GLEN traded under a pound, which is pretty amazing given the float price was around £5.
Elsewhere STAN made new lows for the year.. in fact it last traded at these levels back in 2009.
A very difficult market to trade (well for me anyway).

Stock changes on the week (UU replaced with GSK in the watch list):



Hoping for better results next week.

Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.

A better week, well above my 2.5% weekly target.
The equity markets were volatile, and I was fairly busy.
Some poor exits but a profit is a profit.
The Fed held the interest rate on Thursday evening, and the markets sold off a bit in response.
