FTSE 100

For ever odd

As there seems to be alot of interest in the FTSE 100,(thanks to Arrowloopboy LIVE TRADE thread) here is a thread to give your opinions on fundamentals, technical levels, geopolitical, seasonality, fx, sectors, dividends and individual stocks.

It could be interesting to see the effects of the above and how each influence the direction of the FTSE as they unfold.

The FTSE hit all time highs this week as with indices in Europe and USA. With all the money that has been printed over the last few years and still to printed, are these levels the new norm?

Ascending triangle formed on the daily chart capped at 6960 with 6916 being today's bottom, expecting a breakout in the next few days

It is perfectly normal for markets to hit new highs every so often. Nothing strange about it at all. Your earlier post listing all of the political and economic problems as reasons why it might be a bad time to invest is a classic. Those who invest when the majority are fearful always make the most return. My European ETF is up approx 14% YTD.

I love fear and actively seek it out, after all scared money is fast money. I don't invest I trade and at the time was short the FTSE at 6630( which I posted on another thread)for 300 pionts and got another 300 points on when it went through that level. If you check my posts you will know what way I traded gold and the dow.

14% of what amount?

I have a healthy six-figure sum invested in a low-cost ETF that tracks the FTSE Developed Europe index (approx 520 large businesses). I also hold an S&P 500 ETF and two bond ETFs.

That's great! I love hearing people making money.

I was looking at some Vanguard ETFs today. Still debating on what ETF to purchase at the moment. Hoping QE has a good impact on European Equities. Massive amount of inflows into European funds last week.

Broke to the downside today, 7 trading days it tried to and failed to close above 6960. Divergence on the rsi macd and stoch on the daily chart(and on a few other indices).

Yes I use Vanguard (I buy VEUR and VUSD). They pay dividends so if I were resident in Ireland I would probably use an iShares accumulating equivalent to mitigate tax liability.
