What is Microsoft’s chart trying to tell us?

Microsoft is one of the largest tech companies in the world (market cap $3.4 trillion).

A dominant (or monopolistic?) player in the first PC revolution, the company was able to pivot successfully to other booming tech areas, such as gaming, cloud and now, AI. Its corporate longevity in a hyper c…[Read more]

We are two weeks into January and this 2026, though to be honest so much has happened in that time it feels as though a lot more time has elapsed.

However it really only has been a fortnight.

That’s enough time for some trends to develop and perhaps provide pointers about what is to come in the balance of 2026.

Darren Sinden replied to the topic Why has the eToro share price done so bady? in the forum US Stocks
4 months, 2 weeks ago

I think there are a number of reasons for the underperformance of eToro’s stock since it IPO’d.
However, it seems to me that the main factors behind the share price fall are geographic and cultural differences.

I say that because, unlike rivals such as Robinhood eToro’s clients base is international rather than US focused. Ss of the end of…[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]

  Here is an generated summary of the video:
  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.
  
  Key drivers of the rally

Jackson Wong replied to the topic Has Silver finally found its voice? in the forum Commodities
4 months, 2 weeks ago

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]

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.

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

Amazon (AMZN) to regain upward initiative?

The tariff-induced sell-off in April kicked prices to $160; a bout of e…[Read more]

Some interesting developments overnight as Glencore, approaches Rio Tinto about a possible merger or combination of assets . Mining insiders suggest that this is largely driven by Copper, even though Rio is mostly focused on other minerals and ores . Would imagine this bodes well for other major miners such as Freeport Mcmoran FCX US
