– Breaking News – Following the apparent resolution of the US Fiscal Cliff saga, the FTSE is back above 6000 for the first time since the summer slump kicked off in July 2011. The breakthrough is not solely down to the Fiscal Cliff agreement, as 2012 saw a global rally in equities whilst central banks […]

How many times have you read about a stock market crash and about how bad the economy is and then found out that, whilst the doomsters have been moaning on, the stock market has rocketed and you have missed it? Most people missed the whole recovery. If, instead of reading the media, you had bought […]

I’ve not been a happy bunny with the market in 2012. But since I started writing this blog I’m now some 45% up, all of which has come since June. This is a silly result. I would have been happy with 25%. 45% is too much. I can’t fault my portfolio and have been adding […]

LSE:ETI) yesterday. It’s 50/50 as to whether the stock will continue to go on up. Yet I was on around 140% profit, and the price, […]

As of yesterday the FTSE looks very ugly. It is either the bottom of a small correction or the beginning of a big post US election drop. Now that he has been re-elected the next Obama-drama is the fiscal cliff. Whilst it’s actually a ceiling and not a cliff, the problem will be the inability […]

The last few weeks have been very interesting. After the giant rally of the summer, there was a small correction. Corrections are always nasty periods because – in line with great rallies – there never seems to be a clear cut reason for them, beyond the barely credible narrative of the media, that is. Mainly […]

Whilst we have seen the UK economy starting to return to growth, there will be bumps in the road as the world economy is at a base; it hasn’t plateaued but rather it is at the smooth bottom of an economic basin. As such we can look towards recovery and growth but because of the […]

Tuesday 16th was a cracking day for the portfolio. It is currently overweight with banks and Trinity Mirror, all of which rallied. I’m distrustful of big winning spikes especially when things hang in the balance, because the move often heavily reverses as the start of a big, opposing directional move. We will know on Wednesday.
