I very much appreciate your views. Though I daytrade to some extent, I have to guess for the afternoon because of the time difference. However, your general levels are almost spooky, and my limit orders for Naz afternoon seem to work pretty well (I've even missed some of the 2pm panics 'cos I'm on my way home!). Avoiding the politics thing somewhat, what do you believe the effect on the market would be if GW went in entirely on his own (no UK for eg)?
