Ah the big question Acca, do you sell when you are happy with a set profit level, or wait and let the market be your guide ?

well, i have run it off side a bit and been patient, so i'd feel like a bit of a mug cutting it at the first sniff of a profit, and i think the market goes lower, so i am going to run them.

that said, these are big positions for me, and i'm also conscious of the fact it wouldn't take much more of a rally to stop me out, so if we get another couple of days' selling i'll probably take my money and run.

I havent read it, but there is news today that both France and Germany are comming out of recession. This can only help the markets surely.

bad retails sales figures in the US supress recovery talk for a moment and pull the market back half a percent or so. but is it resilient enough to push on regardless...
