Good question. This time of year investors buy in or out of a sector, but once it’s happened it’s happened. In that, as long as the influx isn’t too great the sector will continue thereafter, in the short term, with little change. The mining sector today [Thursday] has seen some over buying –...

Last FTSE Post Darmon unt Heron, Ladies and Gentlemen, regrettably this will be my last daily FTSE post. Although I will continue with my FTSE studies, I have decided to spend the greater abundance of my time in the coming year studying the Commodities Sector [mainly Oil] and Forex [GBP/USD –...

Don’t yer just hate it when the market doesn’t do as you think it should! FTSE down 12pts and deliberating. One day, and hopefully soon, I intend to walk into a Mercedes show room and point at the most expensive car and say, ‘I’ll have that one, no… make it two! When you can act like that, you...
