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.
Independent News & Media and Enterprise Inns
Posted by Garden Gnome on March 26, 2008

Results are due on Thursday from media group Independent News & Media. However these are a sideshow in a developing story that has more plots and sub-plots than poor old Julius Caesar had to put up with.


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.
Happy Days In Europe

Wa-ha-hey! That’s a bit more like it. My short FTSE position is a touch better, there’s some life in my Friends Provident long position and I’m having a right result in EURUSD. Happy days.
