“Like any high-stakes business, the highs and lows can make you a manic-depressive person, if you weren’t that way to start with.” Sounds like someone commenting on the stock market – and anyone involved with it – doesn’t it?

The share price of Barclays (
LSE:BARC) fell 3.22% on the LSE today, closing at 254.30, dragging the nearly record-setting FTSE 100 index from its lofty heights of 02 March back to 6,889.13. The decline today was clearly attributable to two things: the release of the bank’s final results for the year ended 31 December 2014 […]

Lately the U.S. and UK markets have been getting excitinger and excitinger. I know that’s bad grammar, but I just can’t help it. It’s exciting! We’ve been watching the FTSE 100 as we promised.

I’m sitting here watching the clock with one eye and watching the FTSE with the other – just like everyone else involved in any way with the London Stock Market today. Observers have been cautiously optimistic watching the FTSE get closer to the almost incomprehensible height of 7,000. But, lest we forget, in about five […]

ARM Holdings (
LSE:ARM) share price is up 2.94% today and, in a moment, I shall tell you why. But first, I would like to say that ARM is one of the most fascinating and well-conceived companies that I know. I and my ADVFN colleagues devote a significant amount of copy to ARM Holdings – and […]
