Do I need my eyes checked? I have never seen an index jump near on 8% before in one session. That is an amazing short-covering rally!

I have to stick this screen clipping in the scrapbook for posterity...

Bloomberg market data puts Ftse closer to 9%

Bovespa Brazil 9.57%, Ftse 8.84%, Dax 5.56%, Dow 3.35%, Nikkei 3.76%, S&p500 4.03%, Asx200 4.2%

Apparently the Ftse's biggest ever daily gain ( ? )

Yes, I posted that original post early on in trading and it closed higher. Though I think the gains on financials were probably near their highs in early trading and later in the day it may have been other stocks pushing the gain?

Things are seriously weird when the FTSE is 5.4% down for the session and I've just caught myself cheering it.... as it attempts to rally hard from an open of 8% down.

Time to get real and find a novel to read! :p

Nope :) ... Almost time to dust off the cheque book and go shopping! ... DAX and CAC breached a 10% gain too!

A sustained attempt to stay around the 4000 mark will see me spending my pounds and euros as more i-rate cuts (slashes?) look inevitable.
