Call the FTSE bottom for this year

[SantaClaus]

The general sentiment coming from my broker "ticker" is that this is all overdone.

This just looks like an excellent buy, and will be "over by September" just keep the powder dry and wait for the whites of their eyes!.

just lots of Lance Coporal Jones's running round the stock exchange shouting don't panic-

Meanwhile back on planet earth, circuit breakers triggered on pre-US markets.
Wall street opens in 8 mins. Should be Armageddon.

I'm just so glad I sold all my BTL portfolio just before the budget, and put the lot on shorting the FTSE at 1000x leverage.

Even a Bradford and Bingley account on 2% per annum compounded is an exponential curve. i.e. if you reinvest the interest it doubles every x years.

Showing an exponential graph doesn't mean anything. It just looks scary.

At whatever point in history you show this curve it will look equally scary.

Tell us how much you lost

Just 600 quid so far. I've not got much in at the moment.

Execution only brokers must be loving this. All the commission on the way up as the retail crowd follow the bandwagon, and all the commission on the way down as they tulip themselves and lose their money on the way down. Rinse and repeat.
