Stock Market Summary Friday 26th October 2012
The Nasdaq Composite edged up 0.15% in heavy volume (Point A). Just like the previous day, with the gain being small and volume being inflated, it tells me that the bulls and bears are fighting it out for control of market direction and that we could be at a turning point. It was also good to see the Nasdaq find support for a third day in a row at its 200 day moving average (Point B).

Shadow Investing: My personal experience during recent falling markets

Over the last eleven years* the market has been in a sideways trend, which has resulted in the FTSE 100 making a cumulative loss of 15%. To make money over this period has been tough. However, by copying my brother Stephen’s trades over this time I’ve made a cumulative after tax gain of 27.1%.
