Red rag to a bull
Article Abstract:
Stock prices underwent a correction in Oct 1997, but this was not a serious stock price fall. Equity yields had grown more rapidly than real bond yields. United Kingdom real bond yields have dropped since 1992 and are likely to continue to fall because government finance is more tightly controlled and credit conditions are reasonably easy. Borrowing costs for companies have dropped and they should invest. When companies invest on a large scale they will be competing for available savings, and stock prices are likely to cease rising.

Is AIM on target?
Article Abstract:
Even though the rules concerning companies wishing to be admitted to the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) are laborious and difficult over 205 have joined since June 1995. AIM offers newly formed businesses and smaller concerns the ability to raise funds and to gain credence within the business community. The cost of being quoted on AIM can be up to 50,000 pounds sterling plus annual fees of 30,000 pounds sterling per year which may prove to be too expensive for some smaller firms.
