Thoughts


Quite a volatile week on the equity markets, we saw a sharp sell off overnight Wednesday / Thursday after China revised higher the number of confirmed Corona virus cases.

The FTSE fell to 7403.69 on Friday afternoon, which is almost the 50% retracement level of the recent rally from 7275 to 7533, as shown below:



At the close on Friday, the FTSE was down 58 points, or 0.77% over the week, although around 18 points of that were due to stocks going ex-dividend.

The two largest FTSE oil & gas producers, BP and RD Shell were weak , both going ex-dividend on Thursday, weighing on the index. RD Shell made a new 52 week low on Friday, falling nearly 3% over the course of the week..

Well below  my weekly 2.5% benchmark.

Looking forward better trading opportunities next week.

Stay disciplined.
Stay focussed.
Stay humble.
