Mid term update

Mid term update How are our trades faring? Unlike many financial publications where editorial contributors simply pump out story after story and there is no real way of measuring the effectiveness of their pieces (unless you are both very diligent and have a lot of spare time as a reader!), here at Spreadbet Magazine we plan on measuring our ‘Conviction’ recommendations (Buy and Sells) - those that we go out on a limb with in terms of our belief.

To date, we have now put out 5 Conviction stock Buy recommendations and a clear directional play on the Nikkei at the start of the year; each detailed below with the price point at the time. We don’t believe in measuring ourselves against an index - the FTSE for example. Rather we ask the fundamental question as a spreadbettor; that being - did we make a recommendation that made or lost money?
