I don’t like to bet against the US market (the S&P 500 index). Because it has a fantastic long-term track record.

However, some indexes that could potentially beat the S&P 500 this year include:

* The S&P Equal Weight index: Late last year, investors started to rotate out of the technology sector and into other sectors such as Financials, H…[Read more]

eToro shares have not performed well since the IPO. As I write this, they’re trading at $31 – about 40% below the IPO price of $52.

It’s hard to know exactly why the share price has tanked. I think it’s probably related to a few different factors including:

* Competition: eToro operates in a very competitive industry and it’s up against s…[Read more]

The US stock market is in a league of its own.

At the time of writing, 12 out of the top 14 companies (by market cap) are American. Google (GOOG) is the latest tech company to hit the $4 trillion mark.

US Big Techs dominate many aspects of our daily lives, from social networking to shopping to tech gadgets. Their monopolistic platforms are…[Read more]

  Core message
  Precious metals are seeing unusually steep, historically rare price moves, which can look overdone but are supported by real supply, policy, and demand drivers, so many investors remain bullish and some even talk about silver reaching levels like 100.

When silver is on a roll, it is best to stay out of its way.
The metal has a habit of churning around aimlessly for a long time until prices march resolutely northwards.
Has silver reached the the climactic end? I’m not so sure.
To bet on the spread narrowing (long gold; short silver) is a bet on gold outperforming silver.
This may well happen in…[Read more]

US markets didn’t perform particularly well in 2025 for example, over the last 12 months the S&P 500 was up by +16.92%. However, the Spanish Ibex 35 posted gains of almost +50.0% in that 12 month period and several smaller European indices did even better. Slovenia’s SBITOP Index is up 5+4.0% over the last year, but even that is knocked into a…[Read more]

There was a time when eToro had everything going for it – riding the crypto and personal investing wave through COVID, international expansion and being plastered all over social media. But since it’s IPO performance has been dire, and now reports of layoffs in Israel. Why has the share price done so badly, considering the performance of brands…[Read more]

The Gold Versus Silver ratio is at its lowest in 10 years, based on the fact that Silver is largely correlated to gold – albeit much more volatile. Is there an argument for buying into this as a pairs trade?

43% of investors surveyed by CMC Markets expect the US to be the strongest-performing market in 2026, comfortably ahead of the Far East ex-Japan (26%) and Japan (11%). Europe has just 10% backing continental markets to outperform.

Silver is up again overnight trading above $90.00 per troy ounce. The metal has gained almost +40.0% in a month.

One of the most straightforward ways to play Silver as a UK retail trader is Fresnillo FRES LN, one of the worlds largest silver miners, with extensive operations in Mexico.

Albemarle ALB US have traded higher again in the pre market today. Nothing earth shattering but they are up by +3.0% just ahead of the open and they have traded at $174.14. A a new two year high.

The three year high is up at $293.01, so there is a lot of work to do before we get anywhere near that.

However, if you shoot for the stars…[Read more]
