Here’s a small cap stock pick tip from the UK.

You should be familiar with AIM (Alternative Investment Market) Market in the UK.

Keep your eyes out for for any announcements that an AIM company is planning a listing on the main FTSE or FTSE Small Cap Index.

It’s the first time the big financial institutions can get involved as many don’t buy AIM stocks. It’s also a sign that the company is getting serious about it’s growth prospects.

Buy into that growth prospect!

Well where do you stand? Bull or Bear?

Here’s a quote from Bob Janjuah, UK RBS’ big bad bear:-

“I expect this risk rally to continue into – and maybe through – a large part of August. What happens after that? The next ugly leg of the bear market begins as we get into the July through September ‘tipping zone’, driven by the failure of the data to validate the V (shaped recovery) that is now fully priced into markets.”

He expects global stock markets to test their March lows, and probably worse. The reason, massive government debt.

Contrast that with Morgan Stanley’s Teun Draaisma:-

“We were on course for a Great Depression in February, but Armageddon was avoided. Governments did not repeat the policy errors of the 1930s.” “We have seen the lows of this crisis. This is a genuine rebound rally, and it has been short by historical standards so far,”

Draaisma called the end of the last bull market in 2007, Janjuah called the crash of 2008 weeks before Lehman’s collapse.

When guys like these disagree to such an extent it becomes very hard to call the market direction. Being diversified and fleet of foot is essential. One things for sure. There’s money to be made (and lost)!

Is this the start of a sustainable Bull run?

The benchmark S & P 500 rose above the all important 1000 barrier yesterday and remains there. The Dow is up 100+ points in early trading and the FTSE had it’s best month in July since the Gulf War boosted by some good fundamental results.

There is likely to be only bad news from the remaining UK banks to report this week but it looks likely that the BoE has paused it’s QE policy in the short-term, hence the jump in the value of sterling.

There is still a lot of value to be had.

Things are looking up for investors!
