The US deal, and concerns by holders of its debt

So, at last we have a deal of sorts. In truth, it doesn’t solve any issues, it merely reflects huge pressure to free up government spending, and short term, ensure that America pays its external obligations to its creditors. This sad chapter is obviously not at an end, and we face the spectre of more government by crisis over the course of the next few months.

Facebook Stock Hit 50 dollars. Will it Increase Even More?

Last week, Facebook’s stocks went above $50 a share for the first time. As you may be aware, Facebook’s stocks were originally offered at a price of $38 a share last year. Soon afterwards, these same stocks decreased in price and hit a low of just over $17 a share in September of 2012.

August 2013: Trading the Chinese Flash Manufacturing PMI

I know past results don't guarantee future performance, but there is a lesson to be learned in looking at last month’s numbers.
