Weekly Round Up

We read an interesting update this week from GaveKal Capital about how an early indicator of declines in the broader market can be seen from weakness in the best performing stocks. On this basis the FTSE-100 may be safe for now as Ashtead Group has again moved forward after declines earlier in the year (Ashtead Group has returned 1365% since 1st March 2008)

However there may be signs of some stumbling from the next best performing shares - ARM Holdings and BTG Group - watch this space.
