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.

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.

08:30am CET (07:30 UK)  ~  No trading for me today, after a late start we are off to Mahon for the day – a short boat ride from Palma harbour – taking our guests for a day out. Here in Europe equities have opened sharply down after a large sell-off in the U.S. last night [...]
