As I predicted, a rally. They're climbing a little today. But I was wrong about the depth. I thought they'd decrease a couple of clicks more before recouping losses. So, they didn't hit the depths of a few weeks ago.

I did think about buying yeterday but I waited. That's the way it is. It could have gone either way today.

But no problem. This is a volatile period. And we'll be back here again.

As usual, mining is leading the way. Which means there is more money to be made and more money to be lost trading them. The risk premium.

The ECB rate rise didn't seem to have an effect. But it means there are worries about inflation / overheating etc.

Now also....look what's happening in Tokyo...an early rally and then a drop...so I wouldn't be surprised if that is mirrored here today.

Today I'm looking at luxury goods and services...something that tends to hold during a bear and a bull....investigating a firm that seems to be doing will - share price risen dramatically - but also has plans for expansion in the right places...
