3: Unsecured Personal Loans and You
There are many types of personal loans available in the market. If you’re in need of a loan, it is very important to examine all your options first before settling with your final choice. One type of loan is the unsecured personal loan. In this article, we’ll consider the advantages of unsecured personal loans over its other loan counterparts.
4: Between The Devil of Recession and The Deep Sea of Inflation
Three percent may seem an inauspicious number, but it certainly caused some headaches last week. Firstly, UK inflation is running at 3%, over the Bank Of England target of 2% and obliging the Governor of the Bank of England to write a letter of explanation to the Government.
5: Betting On Success
Given the massive growth in the overall popularity of spread betting as an investment tool in recent years, alongside the ever higher profile achieved by the general gaming industry, it is perhaps quite surprising that the traditional form of gambling – fixed-odds betting – is not more widely used.
6: UK to follow the US?
US stocks have received a slight boost as oil prices retreat and new home sales unexpectedly rose on a month on month basis. However, we shouldn’t really read too much into this, as there is a margin for error in these figures and new home sales in the US are still down 42% year on year. In addition, the Case-Schiller benchmark house price index is now showing a record decline of 14%. During the early 90s housing recession, this figure reached just -2.8%, which is a real indicator of the absolute capitulation in the US housing market. Predictions of double digit losses for the UK housing market may not be far off the mark, especially in light of recent house price data showing record month on month falls.
7: No Room At The Shareholding Inn
What do shareholders have to do to gain entry to their own AGM nowadays?
Even bikini-clad shareholders at the Shell AGM at the Barbican in London today couldn’t get in, despite wanting to spread even more happiness to fellow shareholders who were intent on looking after their ever-increasing investments.
8: Will the oil price stop hiking up?
Until last week, there have been two stories running in parallel. The first story is of rampant inflation fuelled by the price of oil making record new highs every week. The subtext to this story is the dawn of a difficult decade. The second story is of a stock market that believed inflation would be contained and that the worst of the credit crunch is behind us. Last week these two stories collided with the end result being a sudden realization that we’re not quite out of the woods just yet.
9: Better than expected
"Better than expected" could apply to many features of the market last week. Firstly, stock markets themselves have been performing better than one would expect with the constant stream of negative headlines in the media. There's a feeling that the bad news on the credit crunch is out now, and things are not as bad as feared. More than any thing, markets hate uncertainty and whether it is good news or bad, the fact that the surprises are thought to be behind us has a positive impact. Whether the bad news is really behind us is another matter.
10: What's Next..North or South!
On a day when you hear about the worlds largest bank CITI Group losing $5 Billion and cutting 4,000 jobs world wide, you might expect markets to be down severely. You might also have expected the FTSE to stumble on the news that RBS is preparing a rights issue to shore up its balance sheet. However, apart from some early nervousness on Friday, the UKs benchmark index managed to close the week up 3.2%. The CAC & DAX both managed 4.3%.
11: It's Still the Economy, Stupid
The economy, stupid was a phrase widely used during Bill Clintons successful campaign against George Bush Snr. Right now, we could simplify the phase even further in relation to the prospects for the UK and US in 2008; Its the housing market, stupid.
12: At the Gate of Recession

13: Oil hits a New Record
Last week was one for record books; Oil surged above $105 dollars a barrel to reach its highest level since records began. Gold fell back from previous highs, but still managed to get within $5 of the magical $1,000 level at one point. Gold is up 18% since the beginning of the year, and since bottoming out in 2001 oil has now risen over 530%. There were also record highs for the Euro, before this too retraced from its highs of the week.

15: 10 Common Misunderstanding about WTO
The debate will probably never end. People have different views of the pros and cons of the WTO’s “multilateral” trading system. Indeed, one of the most important reasons for having the system is to serve as a forum for countries to thrash out their differences on trade issues. Individuals can participate, not directly, but through their governments.
However, it is important for the debate to be based on a proper understanding of how the system works. This booklet attempts to clear up 10 common misunderstandings.

19: The "New New Things"
Last week the bulls finally gave some ground to the bears with the US markets hitting reverse gear on Thursday after making new record highs on the day. There was no obvious reason for the reversal other than the general feeling that things were getting a little ‘frothy’.....
20: Wall street Rally...Credit Crisis Over? - BetOnMarkets.com
Last week the ECB (European central bank) and MPC (UK central bank) opted to take a ‘wait and see’ approach with interest rates. Both announced that they would be leaving interest rates on hold, preferring to see how their respective economies hold up after the summer turmoil. Many economists are expecting both to move to a loosening bias in the future, with the UK predicted to cut rates before the end of the year.
