    I've gone for above 6,850 in anticipation of a bit of a Santa rally.

    I hope that time proves you correct, I went for the range below your.

    Just under 7,000 by Christmas, 25% to 30% decline when Labour win the next election :(

    I'm expecting it to stay relatively flat (around 6800, as these are usually good months) until the rates rise and the election, when it will (hopefully) trigger a market correction and knock at least 20% off

    The current markets don't favour growth (because we're all uncertain about valuations) and don't favour loss (because there's nowhere else to put money)

    So you can't buy cheap, or expect to make much ... Actually hoping for a crash is a funny one

    Jeez, the 2013 Santa Rally only seems like a few weeks ago.

    How time flies.

    Let's just hope it is as lucrative as last year, however I would cancel it if it means that some of my small caps start rising!!

    It is looking a little better than it was a couple of weeks ago

    6,861, highly scientific approach of adding round about 5% :rotfl:

    Below 6,250
    Below 6250. Gut instinct says there's going to be bad financial news. Been a run of poor Company results recently. Which suggests some economies are struggling.
