I invested in March & April when the majority were selling, it's never yet failed me.2

Christmas Eve our key index finished at 6503. Now it's at ..6502. Hard to see now what might move it more than 30 points either way. Maybe the green light for the A-Z vaccine..
I find it really interesting to see how it pans out this time, with so many more people taking part. If we stopped it today on 6502, no less than six punters would have predicted the closing figure with an accuracy rate of more than 97.0%.0 -
The market hasn't been open since Christmas eve closure? Well not until just over an hours time.

I don't think they'll be a huge move, but quite possible a 100-200 point swing the last few days.1 -
It'll probably open up (for the first time since the deal was official on Christmas Eve) today around half a percent up, I would think/hope.0

I was watching it on the stocks app on my iPhone. I did think it looked odd, but it also seemed to be tracking hourly prices. So why was it not open on Monday 28th December?Rob7Lee said:

It's opened nearly 2% higher, in line with global markets. That suddenly takes it into Golfie territory in terms of the competition winners...0 -

I think you have your surge, Prague. More US stimulus announced overnight as well so could go a little further before any pull backs.1

Years back when I used to punt it horrendously it was based on what the Dow had done .Huskaris said:

US market opened strongly yesterday then dropped back almost to where it was. Nasdaq ended down. Hopefully back up today.

6750 now a possibility if BJ & MHRA get the Az vaccine approved before end of year market closure (48.5 hours away) 😄🙏🤞🤞👍0

Now Golfie, mate you are a Charlton fan, so you really ought to know that it ain’t over til the fat lady sings. We havent even reached 90 mins yet, let alone 90+4...😉golfaddick said:
I agree that a lot depends on how the Dow does this afternoon. Lets suppose it runs out of steam. Tomorrow the bright but cloistered kids will return to their desks, perhaps resolving to ease off the coke, and now they are hearing, record Covid cases, NHS overwhelmed, emerging understanding of just how massive the logistic challenge of vaccinating the world is, and they think, oh, hang on. That’s how they work, right, the “markets”...? And then the FTSE will be heading back to 6500, where a few punters are lying in wait...
And no, @Huskaris, I don’t want to double my bet with you on that scenario happening.
Good game, lorra fun🤣0 -

6602 at close.
CharltonKerry leading, Golfie & CE in silver & bronze.
(Kerry was leading this morning but I misread his prediction on my phone).0 -
Don’t worry it won’t last, I had a tip a few years ago (in my defence it was probably inside trading) to buy an unknown company shares @45p and sell when they reached £25.50, firstly I didn’t have any money then, second I mentioned to two people who sold around £10, thirdly for those who don’t know they peaked at around £29 this year. The company was called ocado, but to be fair they given my company well in excess of £25million of work, so perhaps I was correct. That’s the only time I had any advice on shares.1

Dow edging down slowly today so far. Just sayin'.....
Strangely, nobody went for a figure in 6500-6600 range, even though there are several punters (plus the IFA) 100 above or below.0 -

A deal with the EU (no EU deals get done until the last minute anyway so anything before then isn’t a ‘no deal’ it’s a negotiation process leading to the inevitable compromise), the French and others back down on the own goal of a UK blockade and approval for the Oxford Astra Zeneca Covid vaccine and your 6,750 prediction won’t look too shabby.0 -
I haven’t been this bullish since I tipped off Fred Goodwin about sub prime mortgages in the US.4

Opened flat, apparently unimpressed by the Astra-Zeneca announcement, I suppose they'd already assumed it will be approved and priced it in days ago.Daarrzzetbum said:Just under 12 hours left for 2020 (Markets) excitement reaching fever pitch down here in Tropical Daarrzzet, come on FTSE up you go 😜😜0 -
