Hi Friend,
Eastern markets take a hit ... our eToro fund up 4% in the week ...

Markets ...
We track nine indices in our portfolio, three in Europe, three in the USA and three in South East Asia. China accused Trump of launching the biggest trade war in history this week. Local stocks took a hit. Our China A50 Index fell just over 4%. The Hang Seng and Nikkei traded off by 2.5%.

Since peaking in January, the Shanghai and Shenzen are down by over 20%. It’s a good time to step aside for the moment. Time to move back in in the third quarter perhaps. In the West, the Dow was up by just a few points in the week. The FTSE was off slightly on Sterling strength ....

Our weekly review of markets, currencies and bond rates is back. We provide a more extensive update on trends in financial markets than is possible in The Weekly Saturday Economist. Just click on the link to access the PDF.


We provide the information to keep you up to date ... we do the research so you don't have to ...

We have also signed up with eToro to be included in the Monday Morning Markets Review.

Our "Empires of the Cloud" Fund ... up 4% in the first week.

We have set up our "Empires of the Cloud" Fund with a start value of $1,000 to $10,000 dollars. A similar fund we modeled in a presentation at MBS in 2011, would have converted $10,000 dollars into $86,000 dollars today. You can set up your own account on eToro, and match mirror or follow the fund. We will update every week our progress in the Monday Morning Markets review. We are up 4% in the first week. 

Use this link to sign up to eToro and we get a $20 dollar kick back. Invest just $200 dollars to open your fund and you will get a $20 dollar bonus from eToro. How cool is that!

Looking to cover school fees, a holiday next year or provide for a nest egg. Why not follow or match our fund? All trading involves risk. Only use capital you are prepared to lose. This is a high risk portfolio, it's just for fun ... but what fun ...

Have a great week ahead,
John
