Blood's on the track of a bear market
Article Abstract:
Brown Brothers Harriman's Charles Blood fears that US interest rates will rise in 2000, leading to a drop in liquidity and stock prices. Blood sees a conflict developing between declining liquidity and earnings growth which could hit equity prices. Meanwhile, companies in mainland Europe have seen their stock prices rise, and many are considering taking advantage of a weak currency, though the entry of China into a number of markets means that there is more competition, and pricing power may not be as strong as in the past.

How to excel at traded options
Article Abstract:
Traded options not always understood by professionals. Dealing in options can be treated as though it was a poker game. Investors should not buy when markets are falling, or sell when markets are rising sales should not be made in periods of low volatility or purchases made in periods of high volatility. Volatility can be classified in two ways, historical volatility, which is more commonly understood, and implied volatility, which is less well understood.
