FTSE 100 Forum Discussions

The ftse is near all time highs what a scam should be at all time lows considering
Wouldn't like to be long here at present. Looks precarious to put it mildly. Hopefully we'll be sub 7000 before the snow arrives. I'm heavily short EUR/GBP too and that is coming along nicely. Gravy. Good luck all.
Is it better to short EUR/GBP or long GBP/EUR?
Thank you that's really useful.
You're welcome Jay Jay.

Unclear why FTSE not copying Dow's ascent
Whats the divi today?
I've never really got my head around the divi - couldn't even tell you where to find the information from.
Search for IG community blog - there is always an article on that page called Dividend Adjustments which shows the expected dividends for the week. For FTSE today it's 0.28 so if you have a £10 sell position, you will be deducted £2.80 (or if you were long, you'd receive the same amount in credit).
Gain - $2.90
Let's get one thing straight shall we. The FTSE 100 bears absolutely no resemblence to the American indicies which are very tech driven. Growth stocks have been hammered because of inflation so that's why the US is underperfoming compared to the FTSE. Conversely during COVID (2020) the US markets powered by the FAANG stocks went ballistic when deflation tipped the price of oil to Nil and negative interest rates were a realistic possibility. The FTSE will come down at some point, although its the FTSE 250 that is a better barometer of the UK economy.
I think that was very well said and good summary of the FTSE mate 👍
Its a subset of the FTSE 250 comprised of a SELECTIVE list of companies. The cream of the crop.
Precorona high on DOW was 29445, Precorona high on FTSE was 7683
Why is this pile of dog poo still at this stupid level? P/E of 19 biggest house price drop since 2008 -and several other similarities.
It’s out of sync with other indices and with everything really. It makes me question why anyone would trade it.
Short it at these levels and you are guaranteed profit, likely sooner than later as well.
My sentiments exactly Hugh. Looks like it's getting ready for a plunge. DYOR
Article this morning for anyone expecting a Santa Rally....9.30am: Footsie higher but Santa rally may be too much to hope for.Leading shares continue to head in the right direction, despite worries about a global slowdown and a fall in UK house prices.The FTSE 100 is currently up 15.87 points or 0.21% at 7537.26, but market watchers believe a Santa rally this year may be difficult to sustain.“The FTSE 100 shrugged off losses on Wall Street overnight to trade higher on Wednesday morning as China showed genuine signs of easing up on Covid restrictions,” said AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould.“Warnings from big American investment banks of a US recession in 2023 are setting less than happy mood music heading into the end of 2022 and the prospects of a Santa rally are fading by the day.“The Federal Reserve meets next week to decide its latest rate increase and it still has plenty to think about as economic data delivers conflicting messages about the future trajectory of inflation and growth.
Take a look at the daily chart for the last 46 days, the ftse has risen around 750 points so I think the santa rally has come early this year. I still don't expect any sort of crash on the ftse, just steady away between 7300 and 7600 then breaking through 8000 this time next year when things begin to improve, just my opinion though, means nowt at the end of the day 😀
Can't see how anybody thinks the UK economy is going to be in a good place over the next 12-18 months.
didn't say good place, I said when things begin to improve, markets look 6 to 12 months ahead, inflation won't be as high, interest rates will start to come down and economy will start growing imo
Hey-ho- back to where I was this morning
Dafuq is this late night pumping bs?
ftse showing some strength here even though dow is weakening, any strength in Dow overnight and ftse could fly higher imo
Pump and dump Brian. The santa rally will probably start from about 6900, just before Xmas.
My left gonad is itching. Gravy for the shorts soon I reckon. Gonad never fails. Forget TA, just listen to your gonads.
Better than the Vieux Calais Cheval factory

Yes Stevie - Old Harken has some sort of disease by the sounds of it. Poor bloke.
hi
Alhamdulillah ❤️
Should have sold some of my FTSE longs when I woke at 5am with sell price 7567- never got there rest of day.
The last couple of days are the first decent days of trading I've had since the beginning of November, nothing to get wildly excited about, but starting to make headway now into recouping my stake.
Nice one- most of us strgglked I think
struggled..!
Just been scalping on the oscillations, 20 quid here 20 there. It's nothing wildly exciting, but I'm clawing my way back.I will be putting stop losses on my long trades, just in case the market implodes suddently, which seems a possibilty, don't want to get caught holding big losing trades again. I've still got one which is 500 points away going short, that will hopefully make a profit eventually, in the meantime, I'm at least making money each day to build the pot back up to 3500
Jay- but did short hit 7600?
IG markets mid price high was 7599.6   Might also depend on broker used
A forthcoming date for the bears; 16th December. The third Friday of the last month of the quarter known as Quadruple Witching Day. Again, please don’t take my word for it. Do your research, go back and check the chart of previous ones. 16th September, 17th June and so on.
Give it a rest, Roger. And while you're at it, explain how the FTSE is a PRIVATE INDEX. You donkey.
Day Scalper, thanks for sharing that, thought this is very useful to know. 👍
no problem.
hi guys
Out again at 7560 for another 40 points. 80 in all for the day without taking too much risk. It can do what it wants now - that's Christmas sorted.
Nice one! 80 pips in a day is sweet!
Lucky...
Well done!
The Santa Rally in 2018 wasn't too clever - I think he dropped a few sacks of pressies over the side although the real reason was the Fed tightening. 2019 was decent although that was down to the Boris bounce. In short there are no guarantees of a December rally, and as a few people have already suggested, we may already have had it.
You could well be right Jay Jay. This may well be the Xmas rally and it will not range between 7500-7600 until year-end.

Prudential Shares up 6 per cent today.
FTSE's going crackers again today. Red everywhere else - certainly an intriguing market. Think I may be tempted by another short at 7600 and see where it goes from there.
Short order actioned at 7600 - looking like the top. Will the drop be sustainable this time - will consider getting out at 7560 again if it stalls.
Was tempted to take it myself but I suspect it will try and push a bit higher this week. 7650 is my trigger.
Placed a short order @ 7600...
