Still early though.
Only one thing worries me, that is Non Farm Payroll at 13:30 which always causes a huge volatility spike. I'll close or set to b/e before then.
Decisions can change very quickly with intraday trading.

anyone buying oileys BP, RDS ?
Among other things I've started drip feeding into a junior oils trust and also a BRIC fund, I don't care if they drop in the near future as I will be feeding the money in over a few years.
I think investing over the next 10 years will reap more return than the last 10 years did. I was nearly 100% in cash this time last year.

One of the banks came out with further bad news on debts today, in that it expects a 50% increase on previous estimates. Not sure whether it was Lloyds but anything like this will inevitably spook the sector.

Just a gut feel that they've had a good run recently and the DOW and ADR futures for them were looking a bit grim for this afternoon (since I sold they've fallen a further 6/7%).
Similarly my stops on Barclays kicked in so they went as well (combination of bad signs on the ADR futures, 'sell in May' logic and 'sell on fact' logic).
Probably won't look to get back on board Lloyds given no profits this year, uncertainty of what the APS will cover and nasty looking inherited loan book.
Will look to jump back into Barclays but hopefully at a lower price.
Plus, the cash will definitely cover me through the contract doldrums - the shares might not!
