Short indeed, but I've just freed up some more cash to buy, it'll hopefully be in my trading account by tomorrow. I just need to try and anticipate which day would be best to buy. Any tips from the sage of shareforum  :D

My brokers website has a technical chart of the S&P 500 this morning that shows a downtrend lasting 4 to 6 trading sessions.

Is this 'sell in May and go away' ?

Quote
European markets gained late yesterday after Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said in a testimony to the Joint Economic Committee of Congress in Washington that reducing stimulus measures too soon would endanger economic recovery.

U.S. stocks, which had rallied on those comments, later fell after Bernanke indicated that the central bank will scale back stimulus if economic conditions improved. He said the flow of purchases could be reduced “in the next few meetings” if the Fed is confident gains in the economy can be sustained.


Chinese Manufacturing

In China, a report showed manufacturing is contracting in May for the first time in seven months. The preliminary reading of a purchasing managers’ index for Chinese manufacturing declined to 49.6 in May from 50.4 the previous month, HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics said today. That missed the 50.4 median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. A reading below 50 signals contraction.

Yesterday's -1200 point count was spectacular, obviously depending on how you were positioned.

Futures higher, IGM +206.  German business climate @ 10:00, US Core durable goods orders @ 14:30
