It is understandable after the record fall of the Dow Jones Industrial Average from a peak of slightly over 14,000 in August of 2007 to a low reached last month of slightly over 8,000 that many are eager to search for a bottom.  It is a tempting path to follow especially when the market is [...]

The Independent reports David Cameron's concerns about Boris Johnson, the new London Mayor. Strategists are allegedly worried that the "unpredictable and gaffe-prone" Johnson may impede Cameron's otherwise smooth journey into power:Friends say Mr Cameron regards his fellow Old Etonian as an "amusing liability" and a few months ago never believed he would win the race...But senior Tory strategists now face a daily battle to ensure that Mr Cameron's smooth path to No 10 is not suddenly obstructed by an unpredictable and gaffe-prone Mayor. If Mr Johnson is interested going further and making it to the Conservative Cabinet, he is likely to behave himself, they say. But he could decide to make his mark as an independent-minded Mayor who is not answerable to the Tory leadership.Such concerns are

By: Nazy Massoud Have you told yourself, “I know exactly what is wrong and how to fix it, but I can't?” Have you ever blamed yourself for not having enough discipline to follow your plans? If so, you are not alone. People think that if you don't have self-discipline, you don't have control. They forget about the fear that creeps in. If you look at the markets, listen to the news and notice that the Dow Jones has dropped 1,000 points in a span of 8 to 10 days, it is normal to feel fear. You are glued to CNBC, Bloomberg or any other news source, listening to the bad news piling up. They bring in one expert after another with contrasting points of view. You are looking at different securities with good potential, yet their prices are falling down. Nothing makes sense and it is confusing.

EUR/USD was ranging today inside the yesterday's rate limits which were formed with the bullish tendencies triggered by the Tuesday FOMC meeting's statement.

Yesterday, Soccer Source predicted trouble for Shakhtar Donetsk and Liverpool, a potential struggle for Real Madrid and smooth sailing for Chelsea. Okay, I also thought Valencia would win their game. And actually, I didn't predict smooth sailing for Chelsea either, but I did say they wouldn't have the cakewalk Arsenal had. Then again, the U.S. men's basketball team at the '92 Olympics didn't quite have that kind of cakewalk. Go here to see the all of the games' goals (thanks to footytube for the links).The biggest surprise on the day in my opinion was Rosenborg which moved into second place in their group thanks to the victory. (And maybe into the top 25 as well? We'll have to wait and see for that). Chelsea are now as good as through. Schalke, whom they beat 2-0 at Stamford Bridge do not look to be as good as they have been in recent years. The Germans are still alive though, trailing Rosenborg by only one point. Real Madrid are also in good shape after a terrific game against

In times of volatile market movements, it is a challenge for some investors to keep their emotions in check. When markets are in a strong rally, our herd instinct compels us to join the crowd and ride with the upside. But when markets correct, we are prone to sell out in panic. Yet, the wisest thing for investors to do at such times may be to remain calm and maintain a focused approach for their investments. Keeping an investment portfolio that is invested across different asset classes is a sound and effective strategy to ride through periods of adverse market movements.Stock markets are volatile by nature and as illustrated in recent weeks, extended periods of rising share prices can often be interrupted by sudden bouts of consolidation. In such times, investors with moderate risk profiles should consider holding a balanced fund which is invested in both equities and bonds in near equal proportions. Balanced funds aim to provide income and capital growth over the medium to long term

Gul Panag on her volatile role, her dimples and BollywoodShe breezed like a whiff of fresh air in Bollywood, flashing those glorious dimples, after conquering the Ms India pageant in 1999. Since then, this intelligent lady has made her presence felt everywhere-from anchoring, to acting in TV serial and films like Dhoop, Jurm and of course Dor, in which she won critical accolades in the role of Zeenat. Now she’s ready to don a ‘volatile facade’ for her forthcoming film, Manorama Six Feet Under. NT catches up with the pretty woman. These days Gul is quite excited about her forthcoming film. Ask her what makes it all that special and the gal enthuses, “Manorama Six Feet Under is a whodunit kind of film-a murder mystery, which is set in the backdrop of a small town. It’s an intensely woven film, which is highly believable. I play the role of Nimmia woman with mercurial twists of temper, who’s married to Abhay Deol, a PWD engineer.” While the plot

For any investor who holds oil and natural gas stocks in their portfolio, the movement of those stocks is typically tied to the underlying commodity, not to the broader markets. Investing in energy stocks does not come without sharp volatility that may keep small investors on their toes and awake at night, but with the introduction of new Exchange Traded Fund products, investors now have a way to keep the overall movement to a minimum. The idea behind the strategy is that an investor has a long exposure to oil and natural gas companies and hedges that exposure with a short position in an oil or natural gas commodity ETF. For example: An investor has a $50,000 long exposure to oil companies and $25,000 long exposure to natural gas companies. To hedge his investment, the investor would sell short $50,000 of an oil commodity ETF, such as the iPath S&P GSCI Crude Oil Tot Ret Idx ETN (OIL), U.S. Oil Fund ETF (USO), Claymore MACROshares Oil Up Tradeable Tr (UCR) or PowerShares DB Oil

Stocks continued a volatile trading day today as lingering fears over fallout from the troubled U.S. sub-prime mortgage market continued to weigh on investor sentiment. After opening at 13,078.51 points and then dropping below the 13000 mark, the Dow Jones Industrial Average bounced back in late trading to above 13100, but on lower volume than the previous trading day in what looked like a cover spike.But woes persisted as flight to quality continued and the yield on the 3-month U.S. Treasury bill dropped below 2.5% -a 20 year low (U.S. Treasury bills are considered risk-free, as investor's bid up the price the yield on the T-bill drops).

From ihtTORONTO: The latest jitters over global credit markets sent the Toronto stock exchange index down almost 600 points in intraday trading Thursday — its biggest point drop in six years — before recovering some.The S&P/TSX composite index ended the day down 200.06 points, or 1.53 percent, to 12,848.7.Resource stocks were the hardest hit as investors worry that the global credit squeeze could slash demand for commodities."I think people are sort of wondering what the next stage here is (and) what effect is it going to have on global growth," said CIBC World Banks senior economist Peter Buchanan."I think we're also seeing some evidence, perhaps, that hedge funds are doing some selling. There may be cases where they earlier bought some of the resource stocks, some of the mining stocks and the prospect for potential takeovers down the road and now for one reason or another ... they're selling those stocks."The drops in Toronto and New York followed similarly steep losses in

Last Friday I was already preparing for a stormy week ahead and I observed the price actions with keen interest. Every rally was shortlived and sellers were out in full force driving prices to close flat or lower. I do not like this kind of action. Furthermore, I observed since the rebound, the market rotated very fast and quick as if prices were jacked up to offload.We had it easy during the last few months where stocks just flew up the charts. Now is the time where the informed market participants will be able to separate themselves from the misinformed. The question on everyone's mind (including mine), isit time to buy now? I must admit, it is very easy to be tempted by the "cheaper" prices we are seeing now. If i buy because I think the prices are cheap then I am not following my trading rules. Deep inside me, I know what is the consequences of not following my own trading rules and system. Also, I never forget what the great Livermore said in his book, "There are times to
