RBS - not financial advice, but loading up on it myself.

I know RBS might sound crazy, however it has formed a technical double bottom with two 'Golden crosses', i.e. the 50 day moving average crosses the 200 day. Also it is currently 96% from its all time high. Watch out for support on the 20 week moving average.

Steer clear of Debenhams

When a stock goes down for good reason you steer clear. Maybe if you owned it then you might keep it just in case, but never never buy a distressed stock.

Always buy healthy growing companies, otherwise you will end up with a portfolio full of tripe. Badly run companies, stay badly run companies. Well run companies stay well run companies, well generally !

2 year bonds are now paying out more than 10 year bonds

This consequence is referred to as the yield curve inversion, which has been a continuous successful indicator of a coming recession. In previous recessions central banks lowered interest rates to compensate. But what if rates are already at zero?! Buckle the feck up people - you've been warned!

Late last year the Fed signaled further rate increases this year. So far they haven't done any, and it's looking increasingly likely that they won't. Their next move could even be to cut them.

Negative rates may be on the way... but what does that mean?

A negative interest rate means that the central bank (and perhaps private banks) will charge negative interest. Instead of receiving money on deposits, depositors must pay regularly to keep their money with the bank. ... During deflationary periods, people and businesses hoard money instead of spending and investing.

Gold with likely shoot up in value if that happens.

If you're a trader, yes absolutely. If you're using the News to make trading decisions you're gonna lose money. Period.

No, you are the one with the trader attitude. You're using tasseography to indicate success, you need to read more Buffett or books he recommends, like The Intelligent Investor.

Unicorn companies article made it to the beeb.

Lyft, Uber, Pinterest: Are internet unicorns really worth billions?

Some startling statements:

But unlike M&S, which has been around for well over a century, Lyft is only seven years old - and it is yet to make a profit.


"I did a lot of research on private venture capital backed companies," said Ilya Strebulaev, professor of finance at Stanford University.

"We find that on average the unicorns are overvalued by about 50%."

Consider for a moment that in recent years the stock market has been pumped by those unicorns.

"Look at the losses - someone has got to pay for these losses."


Prof Strebulaev said: "What I believe, and this is not really about Uber and Lyft, but an average unicorn, is that there are 100-plus of them and it is difficult to imagine based on historical evidence and my research that all of them are going to be successful."

Angle investors will be laughing all the way to the bank as retail investor pick up the tab. Going to be the mother of all crashes.

After the crash the recession will follow. But when? If pushed, I'd say we're 12 to 18 months away.
