FTSE 100 tries to rally during the week but fails
The FTSE 100 initially tried to rally during the week but found enough resistance above the turn around and form a massive shooting star. This of course is a negative sign, and I think it’s only a matter of time before we start pulling back as we had been far too overextended.

[$$] FTSE index reshuffle could dent UK retailers
High street retailers Mothercare, Carpetright and Moss Bros are in danger of dropping out of the FTSE All-Share index in a reshuffle scheduled for next week. For these retailers, stung by tough trading conditions of late, that could mean crashing out of the All-Share index, an amalgamation of the FTSE 100, 250 and small-caps. When a company is relegated from the All-Share index, it falls into the FTSE Fledgling, which currently comprises 94 companies and is less heavily tracked by investment funds.
