I still think the FTSE will turn around, as soon as it goes below 5000 there ia a pretty strong bounce, suggests this is the floor.<br /><br />I am down over 60% on XTR, 50% on AST. Emed 10% down but good new there so that is one I will continue to invest into. The former too are into the bottom draw until next year. Dusters - always the risk with these oilies.<br /><br />i am well up on XEL, bought in sub 50 so happy to sit even though half the profit has gone!<br /><br />Wish I had more funds to top up with though, topping up at the bottom did me so well last year.CityUnslickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929544047783163175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-74473718150717633302010-06-09T10:10:58.403+01:002010-06-09T10:10:58.403+01:00im hurting badly on this now.
