Checking in...

This was supposed to have been posted on Saturday but it got stuck in Google Blogger 

                          --------------------------------------------

Wow - it's been 2 months to the day since my last post, so I thought I would check in with all of you to say hi.

I haven't disappeared, but rather, I am licking my wounds from the previous round. No one likes to lose money, and I am down £25k, that's a lot of cash, so I am watching the markets carefully before I jump back in.

There still seems to be no clear direction for the UK markets. 2014 has been a sideways market all the way through, which is no good for any spread better. I went on to Google this morning to check, and these are the stats:

• The FTSE All Share Index has climbed by 1.02%
• The FTSE 100; 1.32% and, 
• The FTSE 250 down by 0.48%. 

Not good for us spread betters at all. 

I will certainly be back in when the market is right, but for now I watch and wait. 

I hope you are all well, and hopefully having more luck than me in the markets. 

Have a great weekend,

Oliver
