Traders & Investors Club

As an introduction to his main presentation on his weekly FX trading strategy, Martin Hatt of the Traders & Investors Club gives us an extremely interesting analysis of today's economic crisis from the perspective of the Latin American crisis of the 1980s.

WIth the BofE base rate at its lowest for 300 years and the printing presses already having created the equivalent of £12,000 in new money for every UK household, it is clear that we are still mired in a Keynesian liquidity trap. Kevin Barry of the Traders & Investors Club will be explaining why he is becoming ever more heavily invested in bonds...............on the short side.

We can see divergences everywhere at the moment. The S&P500 index has been pushing higher without the participation of the European indices nor the trading volume necessary to sustain a genuine bull run. Kevin Barry of the Traders & Investors Club explains why he thinks that we will be seeing neither hyperinflation nor a booming gold price anytime soon

2012 has not been a good year for stock market bears. Our short positions have been stopped in their tracks and we are currently standing aside dusting ourselves off. Of course, it would be easy to blame our miscalculations on the fact that successive rounds of Quantitative Easing on both sides of the Atlantic have resulted in a very large increase in liquidity with nowhere for the mountains of cash to go except the stock market. But, that would just be sour grapes, wouldn't it?
