Thoughts


The rally in the commodity stocks continued in the early part of the week, but then we saw a sell off on Wednesday morning. Crude oil saw a serious sell off on Friday.

FTSE made new all time highs on Monday and Tuesday. The index has now rallied nearly 15% off the March lows.

Trading was difficult, and I made some poor entries and exits, selling the mining stocks rally too early.
Still, just above my weekly 2.5% benchmark.

Looking forward to a long weekend, and more opportunities next week.



Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
