Thoughts

A very difficult week's trading. The London markets were closed on Monday for the bank holiday.
Political uncertainty in Italy sparked a sell off across Europe early in the week. Markets then bounced on Friday. Commodity stocks gained strength over the week.

The net return is lower than the BPS figure would suggest, due to dividends deducted from an overnight short position.
Well below my weekly 2.5% benchmark.

Looking forward to more opportunities next week.



Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
