Thoughts


A short week due to the Christmas holiday.
The FTSE made another new low for 2018 on Thursday, following a hugely volatile day on Wall Street, when the Dow rallied over a thousand points.
We have another half day on Monday, before New Year's Day.

Just over double my 2.5% weekly benchmark, some really fast moves on the FTSE this week, had to be agile. I have no idea if we have made a bottom yet.

This chart shows the volatility on the FTSE cash:



Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.

Stay humble.
