It's Stormy, But So What?
By Malcolm Stacy
Hello Share Fans,
The sea outside my study window is really turbulent at the moment. They keep saying the markets are turbulent, too. This putting it too strongly.
Yes, there is a lot of diving about going on - the daily difference between the open and close of markets all over the world is a lot bigger than it used to be - on most days.
This is scary for a share-shifter. But it shouldn't be. It doesn't matter how big the daily swings up and down are. Its the overall trend that matters. The trend at the moment, if you look at the wood and not the trees, is for nothing to move much. Big volatility does not mean we should all get the shakes over the medium term.

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 31: Never go for 3-for-2 offers at supermarkets and try to resist BOGOF (Buy One Get One Free).
The odds are that you only really need one of any item, so you may reduce you average cost of purchase by going for a 3-for-2 but will you actually use all of that product? How many times have you got three packs of Clementines when you only really needed or wanted one for Christmas? By January, your fruit bowl is stacked with slightly rotting Clementines.
As for the BOGOF: the aim of this is to tempt you to make an impulse purchase of something you do not really want. As such, in giving in to the cunning marketing ploy of supermarkets (who will still make money by selling 2-for-1) you have parted with cash you did not need or really want to spend. That cash should be used for more useful purposes.

BOOK OF THE WEEK By Simon Lack
A book review by Luka Lukic of t1ps.com Hedge funds have always been the talk of the town. Every year we read about the billions paid to top 10 hedge fund managers and investors rush to give their money to them in the hopes of exceptional return. However, in this brutally honest book, industry insider Simon Lack looks to strip away the facade and reveal the cold truth about the profits hedge funds actually make. In the first sentence of the book he writes: "If all the money that's ever been invested in hedge funds had been put in treasury bills instead, the results would have been twice as good." A staggering statement which leads us to question why they have been placed on a pedestal.
