    Not guessing the top just happy with the profit I've made on my portfolio and I now believe it's a good time to sell, sit back and determine my next move.

    I'm out of almost all FTSE trackers, just individual stocks now. Wouldn't say it was definitely time to go short yet though.

    I've always found the BBC 6 o'clock news to be an excellent indicator of market tops. When they carry a story of 'boom times on the stock exchange' then sell and/or short. A couple of years ago they got the top on the pound within two days.
    so 6444 is not close to 6500?
    7 points off 52 week high.
