Garden Gnome spent many years as a small-cap fund manager before his need to to spend more time with his lettuces got the better of him.
GG now spends rainy days trading equities and currencies. He likes to use a combination of technical analysis and news flow to make trading decisions.
Antofagasta and Aer Lingus

Chilean copper producer Antofagasta is expected to post full year results on Tuesday. The company has been dogged by strikes and production problems over the last year so output tonnage is likely to be lower.


Mr FT is a self-employed spread better. After 18 years in fund management he was given the choice of moving to London or .. not. ‘Not’ won out.

FT has been trading full time from home for two years, with nothing but four kids and a beach to distract him .

He fills his spare time with weight training and rugby, though more coaching than playing these days.

FT mostly trades the forex markets and although he plays FTSE on occasions his bread and butter market is £$.

He likes to think that his technique is evolving but still hasn’t the temperament or money to back the big calls. He prefers to trade between 1 and 3 times a day, aiming to take regular small gains, but feels part of the evolution is in not dealing if the conditions don’t feel right.
As Much Life As The Rugby

So, Chelsea and Man Yoo are out of the cup. Well I think that wraps up the weekend’s sport, now what about the markets. To be honest, I’ve found today’s markets every bit as exciting as the nail-biting clash between England and Scotland. I’m in need of a lot of coffee.
