09:40am CET (8:40 UK time)  ~  A very late start for me this morning after getting home at 3am —  a day at home doing emails, Skype calls and chart watching is going to be the order of the day I suspect. I will report back throughout the day if I have any positions. The [...]

07:15am CET (06:15 UK)  ~  Early start for me today as we’re off to Palma soon for the day to see friends and go out in their new boat.  Temperatures should reach 75° so ideal weather for our trip. Big news from the markets yesterday was the ending of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Quantitative Easing [...]

08:40am CET (07:40 UK)  ~  Late start today after arriving back here in Puerto Pollensa at midnight following flight delays. At home today relaxing so I should get some chart watching in at some stage. U.S. markets were surprisingly busy yesterday despite the norm of low volumes ahead of a Fed announcement which is occurring [...]

07:25am UK  ~  Up early ahead of another day of meetings before I can fly back to Majorca later this evening so not much trading I would suspect again today. The markets yesterday had a bit of an uneventful session as all eyes are on the U.S. Federal Reserves meeting on Wednesday evening where it [...]

08:45am CET  ~  Flying back to the UK this morning to sort a few things out but back here on Wednesday. Although markets in Europe ended broadly in negative territory on Friday they are starting this new week positively after news at the weekend that ECB stress tests on their banks came out widely positive, [...]

08:35am CET (07:35 UK)  ~  Late start this morning after getting in at 2am and I shall mainly be helping the builders here today but I may have a look at some charts occasionally. The markets were still in a bullish mood yesterday with gains across Europe but the newsflash last night that announced that [...]

08:05am CET (7:05am UK)  ~  I have an interesting cycle ride coming up in the next hour – my neighbour has organised a ride around the bay to Punta Sabater for a late breakfast for 15 of us – then back here for some chart watching and emailing/Skype chats upto lunchtime. Markets started well yesterday [...]

07:50am CET (06:50 UK time)  ~  Nice relaxing day for me here at home, loads of emails to catch-up on plus some chart watching from time to time. Rumours of some sailing this afternoon abounded last night as well. You cannot have failed to notice that the bearish trend that started at the middle of [...]

07:35am  ~  Last day in the UK, I shall be flying back to Majorca later this afternoon but I will be doing some emails and chart watching this morning – I also have 2 Skype calls as well. Overnight news from China regarding its GDP figures should keep indices in the positive this morning, the [...]

08:35am  ~  Still in the UK unexpectedly with a few things to sort out so no trading for me today. So good news trumped bad for once on Friday with the Ebola epidemic, European slowdown and Chinese economy woes beaten by optimistic consumer confidence numbers in the U.S. together with a good start to the [...]
