Today was unit trust quarter end...never underestimate the extent and impact of window dressing, with fund managers withholding selling orders. They also tend to lower cash positions at such junctures to fall in line with mandates. Wait for some direction tomorrow, you may just be pleasantly surprised?!

This notion of only making a loss once you have sold is false. You are 25% down. Now. And it is real. Now.

Nah not all of it, the majority of the bucks is in my long term portfolio, this is my short term trading one. Do u hold some of these? if the market continues to rise ima trade AGLSBF warrants, been watching them closely for some time now, jus waiting for the right entry, if there is such a thing...

Mr S there would be no way of telling where support is by using the charting software on site. I just had a look at the matrix on the warrant you have and trace it back the charts of the 4 hour SBK and you went short on support. Now you tell if you would have done this if you new you where on support ??
