Thought it was going to be a disaster today. I'll take the FTSE breaking even over the large losses any day.

What I thought was going to be a strange week and a possible crash has turned out with gains over the past two day. Theres usually a an uptick Monday morning anyway so things are looking up. Maybe the second crash everyone was predicting wont happen
