Thoughts


Another volatile week on the equity markets.

The FTSE made a low of 7020.22 on Thursday, over 9% below the recent highs made at the end of July.

We saw more weakness in the commodity sector, despite strength in gold and silver.
The FTSE was down 137 points over the week, after a modest rally on Friday.

Below my 2.5% weekly benchmark.

Looking forward to more trading opportunities next week.


Stay disciplined.
Stay focussed.
Stay humble.
