Come back on St Leger day

There is a general ‘theory’ that during the summer stocks languish and only when everybody is back to their desk

St Leger Meeting

For some background to this meeting have a read of this wiki link.

I must admit, from a trading perspective, I haven’t got a great deal out of this meeting in the past. So I tend to not set high expectations only be disappointed. I tend to treat it as a decent meeting, but not something I expect to get anything stunning from.

My only advice, given the prior years, is to take things a little more gently. If …
