The Iron Lady Might Melt
By Malcolm Stacy
Hello Share Fanciers,
The Spanish situation is grave. Their banks are in a fix. New money needs to be injected into them. If this does not happen, the rest of the Eurozone will be in trouble. Share values will fall - again. Britain is not part of the beleaguered currency - thank goodness - but it will still be hit if the Euro is abandoned.
It will not be abandoned, though. There is too much at stake. It will be very helpful if the Germans allow more money to go to Spain. At the moment, the Iron Lady in charge of Germany does not want to give any more money to Spain. Or any other European country in trouble.
She could support the idea of Euro bonds. These could be bought, with the backing of all Eurozone companies. Big investors from all over the globe would be prepared to buy these bonds because the guarantees would be honoured.

NEW ON THE BLOG by Lucien Miers Its not often that I recommend shorting a share at a price below a penny. But sometimes it has to be done. From memory the last one was Jessops which was ten times over priced at that level.
Small and struggling marketing and advertising group Adventis (0.8p on AIM ) also fits the bill... Click here to read the full article

TIP OF THE DAY A report by Growth Equities & Company Research
TMT Investments has doubled its stake in DepositPhotos, the US-based privately-owned company that provides an online marketplace for buying and selling images. Furthermore, the venture capitalist also revealed that its portfolio company Gild, the US-based company focused on the recruitment of top developers, has raised c.$2.1 million through an equity financing. As TMT Investments continues to build a high quality and diversified portfolio of investments in companies that operate in high growth, internet-based sectors, we believe it has the potential to generate an attractive rate of return for shareholders.

101 WAYS TO SAVE MONEY
By Tom Winnifrith
Every week, ShareCrazy will excerpt a part of Tom Winnfrith's book 101 ways to save money in a recession.
Number 30: Cut your life insurance costs
The odds are that you took out your policy when you took out a mortgage. The cost of that insurance was almost certainly the last thing on your mind - you just wished to get another box ticked on that long list of things to do. Perhaps your bank helpfully introduced you to an insurance company it owned which would make life so much simpler for you? The odds are that even if your circumstances have not changed, if you shopped around you could now find cheaper cover, possibly saving a couple of quid a week, even if your circumstances remain unaltered. But maybe you are onto a double win. My life insurance was taken out when I was a smoker and thus the actuaries stated that I was at a higher risk of pegging it so my cover cost me more than had I not been a smoker. Now when I give up smoking shortly - as I plan to do almost every week, for the reasons outlined 29 suggestions ago - then after a couple of years of clean living I will fall into a different actuarial risk category. Perhaps you have already quit smoking, lost a stack of weight or taken up hill walking since you took out life insurance. In which case it is worth checking if you can get a new policy offering the same cover for less

BOOK OF THE WEEK By Nicholas Wapshott
A book review by James Faulkner of WatsHot.com The General Theory. The Road to Serfdom. These books have become the bibles of opposite ends of the economic and political spectrum. The men who wrote them - John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich August von Hayek - were intellectual opponents who managed to maintain a friendship in spite of their sometimes acerbic criticism of one another. Their work has influenced the economic policies of governments from the Great Depression to the present-day Financial Crisis. In Keynes - Hayek, Nicholas Wapshott plots the trajectory of their intellectual duel - a running battle that is still being fought to this day despite the passing of its original protagonists - and its impact on all our lives.
