YTD that leaves my index marginally positive for the year to date at 0.93% v. a -3.32% decline in the FTSE.
The big movement and news coming from Apple (in my portfolio at least), which once breaching $207.05 became the first US company with a trillion dollar market capitalisation which was enough to see it run as high as $227.
This came as Apple reported consensus beating 3rd quarter results (www.apple.com: apple-reports-third-quarter-results).
Elsewhere there were widespread falls led by Vodafone (-11.56%), and BAT (-11.41%). With just 2 other gainers in Standard Life (+1.47%), and Galliford Try (+4.02%), in addition to Apple, the falls managed to outweigh the gains.
And after last month's dividend drought, it was nice to see a good contribution this month with National Grid leading the way.
