    +/- 0.5%
    I voted +/-0.5% because that is most likely, statistically.

    It's worth remembering that the FTSE just reflects the prices of the constituent shares; it's not a vote on the British economy. I would guess that most of the profits of FTSE100 companies are generated abroad.

    Oh and a single day's movement is just noise usually. It's as likely to reflect technical factors as much as anything else eg last week was 'triple witching' when options, forwards and futures all expired.

    But its not a single days movement. It is a judgement on the past & future (immediate or longer term)

    You know. Sell before the drop & buy again 30 minutes (sic) later.

    That is the game.

    If anyone on here had had any success predicting what the stock market was going to do, they wouldnt be on here.

    I might still find time to post in the rest periods between drug-fuelled hooker orgies.

    + 0.51 to 1%
    My + 0.51 to 1% guess didn't pay off.

    Serves me right for choosing a bracket with the half a percent window. :)
