This book doesn’t quite fit the whole spread betting theme but it does provide a fascinating insight into the mind of a gifted and inspired visionary. Now I know Alan Greenspan is getting a bit of a hard time lately being branded the scapegoat for the subprime crisis. However this man presided over the financial system of the United States through some of the most problematic periods in economic history. His legacy may now be slightly blemished but his wisdom and insight are as valuable now as they were then.
The book leads you through his life from his earlier years in a nostalgic and eloquent manner as you might expect. It is a personal memoir that makes you feel a part of it, giving you the sense that he is speaking to you over a whiskey by the fire. This tone is carried through the first half of the book as he discusses his love of numbers and music. An endearing tale of a man who had strong personal values and a firm belief in himself which is what led him through his earlier years.
I'm still very bullish on the FTSE 100 as we are over 5,300. Gold is doing great and the dollar is weak. This all looks good for a year end rally to 5,500 for the FTSE 100.
