Financial spread betting was once the financial tool of a select group of city traders. This financial phenomenon introduced to the city just 40 years ago by a man called Stuart Wheeler has made many on the right side of the spread huge sums over the years.

Well my dabbling with Forex has been up and down with only a very minor (£20) gain to show for my efforts over the last month.

I guess it could be worse since most novices lose money to begin with.

However, the markets have moved into increasingly choppy territory and once again I'm having to leave trading on the shelf.

Since November I've left the stock markets alone because there's been no discernible direction to it all and I consider myself to be a trend-oriented trader.

However, for the best part of this month I've been trading the Forex markets looking for short-term (24-48hrs) trend continuation patterns.

I'm doing my best, keeping an eye on the news, half watching the direction of the markets, periodically looking to see if any trends become apparent - and what do I get?

Chaos!!!

The markets are bouncing around more vigorously than a Hollywood divorce lawyer.

So, what can one do but sit right down and think!!!

The government seems desperate to make us feel as thought they're doing something to help with cuts in VAT and also NI contributions.

The problem with these moves is that 'people just don't want to spend because they think that things are likely to get worse next year'.

This means that businesses, banks and consumers have cut spending with no respite on the horizon.

Or, if you want to wait, you can order a hard copy which they will send to you for free.

I'm gobsmacked by the Bank of England's short memory. Have they not read that cutting interest rates to almost zero did nothing to help the Japanese economy recover in the 1990's?
