I was reminded of Paddy Power Betfair (LON:PPB), not only on the basis that we are seeing much more volatility and interesting financial markets, but that we are also in the run up to a big political decision in the US. The last time the bookies made a market on that – Brexit – they…
It would appear that there are multiple factors affecting mining giant Randgold Resources, over and above it being the FTSE 100’s favourite gold price proxy. Indeed, one of the highlights of the stock market the morning after the Brexit Referendum vote on June 24 was the rocketing price of Randgold Resources shares. Thankfully, for the…
It would appear that the market was loath to let G4S off for its historical mishaps on the fundamental front, with this misery reaching its peak at the time of the London Olympics in 2012.

It may be the case that with retail traders long up to the eyeballs of Gold and Silver, we are due a new leg to the downside. But at least the minnow stocks in the area such as Greatland Gold (LON:GGP) appear to be progressing well. Greatland Gold is currently in focus following the announcement…
Wearables group Cloudtag (LON:CTAG) has been one of the big stock market winners of the year to date. It has been helped along by being in the midst of the Zeitgeist of tech gadgets, as well as health and fitness concerns. Being a fan of a stock which has climbed far and fast over the…
It has certainly been a long journey for fans of the would-be Yorkshire Potash miner Sirius Minerals. As most of us are aware, it is usually the case that for mining companies the key is less about the digging, and more about the funding. This is of course, whether or not there is actually anything…
ITM Power had been a slow burner until now, on both a technical and fundamental basis. But it would appear that the hydrogen refuelling stations company is set to take off in a positive way.
