Hello fellow traders.

How do you pick the right Shares?

What a month it has been for the markets- the FTSE hit a 21-week high, while the DOW is still eking out gains.

Who do you trust?

Riddler — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Welcome to a new month fellow traders. We enter March with yet more conflicting data coming out of the U.S. and G.B.

“The greatest profits I made were by selling too soon”

Hi fellow traders. This week has been a funny affair, with the markets shrugging off some pretty dire GDP figures on the 23rd October, but still failing to surpass 5300.

Building a portfolio: Attitude to risk and personality traits

Riddler — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:00:00 GMT

Hello fellow traders. The much-documented fall to c4,900 and perhaps beyond hasn’t happened yet, and sentiment is running high today, but that doesn’t mean I have taken my eye off the big picture.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing

Welcome back to reality fellow traders.
