It's zigzagging sideways all year from here I think.

Or flatlining, up and down.

Randomly tracking market sentiment to get nowhere.

And would that 'sentiment' be affected by proximal tipping?

Sean K ................. 7400

Or Caught up in the DOLDRUMS around Middle Earth / The Equator

I didn't realise that was a nautical term, Captain. I do think we're trapped in the doldrums in 2023.

 

[Dona Ferentes]

I went through the doldrums at 1.5 knots. Stifling. Couldn't be on deck from 10am to 2pm. Saw a waterspout, went through a pod of orcas, got paid.

Oh, and crossed the equator for the first time, at sea,, and all that entails. 1975.

You had to swim across, or was there a feather duster involved?

Isn't that when King Neptune start proding with the trident when you are stationed on the gang plank.

Lol. Initiation, not bastardisation.

Lol. Initiation, not bastardisation.

Being prodded by the trident would that be initiation????

Another month done and dusted, a quarter of the way through 2023. Like most, up and down, though in March it was a poor start and a rally over the last 10 days, with XAO ending at 7373.



And that puts our straddlers in the box seat:
@Sean K ................ 7400
@Knobby22 ........... 7223

 

[Dona Ferentes]

A third of the way through 2023, and the XAO has a good month, finishing April at 7501.
(XJO finished at 7309)

And this allows debtfree to be in the running with a win, so far. Closest are:
debtfree .............. 7550
Sean K ................. 7400

 

[Dona Ferentes]

And, so far, 2023 is going fairly well. Crises averted. (Some say merely postponed)

 

[debtfree]

Looks like another month to @Sean K, market definitely going sideways.

 

[debtfree]

I see @Knobby22 is now closest at the end of May.

Wish Garpal Gumnut was winning.

 

[Dona Ferentes]

The month ended lower, finishing at 7274.

And 2023 looking sluggish:
