notanewmember Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 http://youtu.be/Od8hmJS02Og In this weeks episode of Minecraft Speculation Ville, we look at the super bull market that has become of the London Real Estate Market. We also look at the progress of the UK housing market overall, and briefly look at the Ichimoku cloud indicator developed by Goichi Hosoda that is used in technical analysis of charts. In this weeks portfolio we look at the Google (GOOG) stock split, and past stock splits of Microsoft (MFST) before and after the dotcom crash. We look at the other stocks in the portfolio including Eckoh (ECK), Macau Properties (MPO), Johnston Press (JPR) and the UK Housebuilder Taylor Wimpey (TW.). At the end of the show we look at the S&P500, the Bitcoin market, the CRB Commodities index, and the Gold price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Hey, your sound quality is really good, and I like those graphics I think you might want to look at how BDEV and PSN lead prices. I still think a breakdown in these indicators is possible within the first half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notanewmember Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Thank you. ^I used a normal basic headset that call centres probably use. I didn't remember PSN gapping up from £6 to £11 - I'll have to take a look into why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notanewmember Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Palladium is looking strong, I would like it to clear $800. The New York price already is there according to Kitco. Ukraine/Russian politics might be fueling this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 "Sell in May" Yeah - that's Chas. Neener's idea too. He wants to "Be Short by the End of May" - and maybe that would be a good idea sooner. Certainly, IWM/Russell 2000 and some other indices are already well off their highs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notanewmember Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Martin Gilbert of Aberdeen Asset management; says the worlds ultra rich own no bonds, and interest rates will be going up in the coming years. 1hr 16m 23s in http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b042jfvx How can he be so sure? Or does he have an interest to buy his equities rather than bonds in his funds. We can read it two ways - follow what he says, or not and buy bonds because the rich might move into that space if there is a market crash, as they did well during the volatile financial crisis years. For the small investor - cash I think is the next best alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notanewmember Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I don't know if anyone has heard of Les Leopold, but he seems to have the whole financial crisis, and the investment bank industry all wrapped up in this lecture.

Many thought she would struggle to win votes from Eastern Europe." Didn't see but after your metro link decided to listen, not everyone's cup of tea I'm sure, but some degree of singing talent, suspect there will be a big "gay" (if it's ok to use that word), spend to send it top of the charts in a few places. Bit like big brother, maybe put the money down on the less than typical stereotype's is a smart way of betting. Did the U.K better 2nd from bottom this time or does Europe still hate us?

Stick with the video until the end, he sounds nuts, but he has found fulfillment. Shall I get some rollerblades for fun? I never found jogging much fun. Financial Freedom, the ultimate prize. -But he came to that point late in his life - aim to be semi retired or retired now!
