Over the last month, five S&P 500 issues have declared their intention to break off part of their ongoing business operating and distribute the shares to existing holders, leaving them with separate companies, and eleven separate stocks. Unlike the typical buy, merge and grow through acquisitions philosophy, this approach speaks to a more centralized product line, with future M&A concentrating on closely related product lines. The separation also leaves investors with the decision of keeping or selling the issues, since the new entities need to be evaluated separately. Historically speaking, there are no rules, and there are no clear winners or losers; there is however an old saying to follow senior management – that’s where the money is (or is going). Over the next month or so, each company will distribute information regarding the separation, along with proforma income and balance sheet information. S Read more…

New Daily Funded Bets

On 2 April we launched our new Daily Funded Bets (DFBs) to replace Daily cash bets on stock indices, sectors, forex, shares, gold and silver.

Our new DFBs offer our tightest spreads without the inconvenience of daily rollovers.

We are reacting to what our clients have asked us for: simpler statements that are cleaner and easier to manage.

With DFBs you will now see your true profit and loss for each position you hold, uncluttered by multiple rollovers across a period of time.

DFBs have a long expiry date of April 2016, but just like our existing Daily cash bets you can close your position at any point before this.

Current Daily cash bets expire each day and are subject to a rollover charge.

What is Stock Volume?

Let’s start with the basics: Volume refers to the number of shares traded at a particular time in a stock.  It’s most common to reference volume on the daily chart, which is how many shares have traded per day, but traders can compare volume readings on hourly charts as well.  For the purpose of building your winning portfolio, you’ll only need to view trends in volume on the daily or perhaps even the weekly chart in your favorite website such as StockCharts.com, Yahoo!

According to a report in the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger the Swiss are poised to send the names of thousands of potential tax evaders who have Swiss Bank accounts over to the IRS, and/or the Department of Justice. The data files are, according to the unconfirmed report, due to begin coming over later in October. The report goes on to speculate that the banks on the list include Credit Suisse, Julius Bär, Zürich Cantonal Bank, Basel Cantonal Bank and Wegelin. These names shouldn’t come as any great surprise because it appears that the IRS has been actively investigating them for some time.

Whether or not the report turns out to be true is unknown. However, if it is, it leaves very little time for U.S. p
