Well it's been a while since I last posted anything on here and you may be wondering where I have been and more importantly how my spread betting has been going. Well about average as far as the spread betting is concerned. I've been really busy (and still am) with my personal life and unfortuna...

There seems to be a lot of carrying on about momentum stocks imploding after huge runs, as if it’s something terrible and scary. Stocks like Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) and Netflix (NFLX) have plummeted over the last six months or so. ‘Oh my god, a momentum stock has fallen sharply’!...
Last week, the Monetary Authority of Singapore said that the global economy and financial system are at their most fragile state since the 2008 crisis, with the immediate outlook characterised by a high degree of uncertainty.

1) The Dow Jones Industrial A...

Close to 8 trillion US dollars has been wiped off global equity markets since the S&P downgraded the US debt less than a month ago. Suffice to say, every trader would take this as a cue that the US dollar is weakening.
