Updated: 2012-12-31 08:29:28
New analysis of New Year stock market predictions for 2013 contains bad news for pessimists and good news for people who might like to see the value of their savings and investments rise. Perennial pessimism is an easy way to simulate wisdom about stock markets but it may tell us more about the people making [...]HSBC Holdings Plc.

Updated: 2012-12-28 09:33:49
Not much to be said about the fiscal cliff until America plunges over it, pulling the rest of us with it, suffice it to say that this now virtually annual political charade is getting somewhat tiresome. One minute its Eurogeddon threatening to plunge the world into never ending depression, the next it's another US budget [...]Creditors seek new ways to get paid as 'D for Debt Day' nears

Over-indebted borrowers may take some comfort from the fact that County Court Judgements or orders for assets to be sold fell by more than a fifth last year – but there was a 15pc increase in applications for debtors’ earnings to be docked at source. Creditors including HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) are increasingly likely [...]Is the Bank of England targeting nominal GDP rather than inflation?

Updated: 2012-12-21 13:45:47
Men who missed the chance to lock into guaranteed pensions for life before a European court ruling cut them today should not worry too much. Higher incomes are likely to be available to pensioners of both sexes in future because the price of fixed-interest bonds will fall, experts predict.
