Mark Wadsworth: A short-term investment is a long-term investment gone right

Monday, 1 June 2009

Bought: one September US T-Bond at 115-14½.

I can resist anything. Except temptation.

I blame forgetting to fill up the coffee machine last night. What's your excuse?; 1 June 2009 at 22:54
Mark Wadsworth said...: SL, no excuses at all!

I don't offer investment advice, I just post my trades for the hell of it (heaven help those who copy me - I can afford to lose money, most can't), if and when I mess up (like not hanging on for a few more hours today and doubling my profits) then feel free to mock me.

No use crying over spilt milk, tomorrow is another day etc etc.

BTW, have you sorted out a futures account?; 1 June 2009 at 23:15
Steven_L said...: Not being mortgaged or married I can afford to be a gambler too.

I haven't set up a futures account yet. I was going to give them a ring sometime soon and see what the crack is with it.

No one can buy and sell right on the troughs and peaks, if I had left my Man Group position another 24 hours I would be £130 richer, but hey I still made a ton on it.

I sas the FTSE100 sitting at 4,500 Monday morning and I couldn't help thinking it might be about to take a battering again.; 2 June 2009 at 11:39
