The markets have been fairly kind to me today. My portfolio is up slightly on the day, but not by a massive amount. I took the opportunity to move some stops yesterday and maybe I’ll have the same chance today. I guess I’ll find out later.

I haven’t made any new trades and I haven’t even looked. With going away tomorrow evening I just don’t have the time to dedicate to looking for new opportunities. I’m not that fussed as I know there will plenty waiting for me when I get back.

This will be my last blog entry until I return next week. I should be back to it next Wednesday hopefully. In the mean time you’ll have to keep yourselves amused over in the forum. Big Al posted an interesting update yesterday about starting to feel impatient. I remember feeling exactly the same about a year ago, although I had yet to make money spread betting. Needless to say it was a bad time for me and I lost a lot of money because I just couldn’t wait. I’m sure Big Al will not make the same mistake.

Anyway that’s all from me for the next week. Hopefully when I’m back I will start to get back into the old routine and will have more time to spend on the site.

One last thing before I go. I’ve posted a new topic on the forum relating to the speed of the site. I would very much appreciate your feedback on this. Take a look and post a reply with your thoughts.

Ok that’s it until 12th Jan. I hope your spread betting goes well while I’m away.

Until next time,

Happy New Year! I hope it’s a great year for you all.

Well with today being my first day back to work and driving to Germany on Friday(Sigh) things are a little hectic and time is tight. Therefore I think it’s fair to say that I won’t be doing much trading over the next few days. Fear not I should be back on Wed 12th so I’ll be back in business then.

Today has been an interesting day for the markets. With the FTSE shooting up around 130pts(as at 16:00) most of my positions rose in sympathy. They could’ve gone higher for my liking but I think that is probably always the case, for longs at least.

To be honest there isn’t much else to tell you at the moment. Boring I know, but hopefully 2011 will full of surprises for me and you. There are several things that I am working on relating to the site and it’s going to be an exciting year. I hope it’s the same for you.

All that said it’s going to be a while before I unleash these surprises on you, but hopefully they will be worth the wait. January is going to be a busy month from a work and personal point of view but I’ll be doing my best to keep things moving forward.

All the best with your trading in 2011.

Until next time,
“May the markets be with you!”
