We often hear the tragic tale about the SME-sector. Nobody is really interested in them and is competing for their business. Not the banks, not insurance companies, not the accounting profession, not telecom and so forth. The answer is simple - as they are so small they have small volumes = low transaction, financing, insurable and wealth volumes =...

There's a new study out that says investor behavior is almost half determined by genetic factors. Twins who were raised apart were compared to twins raised together, in terms of their investing preferences. This suggests to me that personality type preferences, and learning style preferences, which are both rooted in early childhood -- are at work ...

I appreciate that this is probably my first foray into Hyacinth Bucket territory, but I've noticed recently that there's been a new addition to the street litter here in Brussels.
