AIM without fire
Article Abstract:
The Alternative Investment Market (AIM) started trading in June with 10 companies and a combined market capitalisation a little over 80 million pounds sterling. Five more companies have joined increasing the value to more than 100 million pounds sterling. The AIM is expected to have 70 companies by the end of 1995, possibly reaching 200. Trading volumes however have been disappointing and the market is not expected to take off until investors believe returns are high enough to compensate for extra risks.

The boom days have passed: commodities were an extremely profitable area for speculators in 1994. This year big profits have been hard to come by as many commodoties have fallen back from their highs
Article Abstract:
Commodity prices have fallen from the highs reached earlier in 1995 and the trend remains downwards. Manufacturing production has a major influence on commodities with a strong link between increased production and a rise in commodity prices. The recent decline could be attributed to speculators withdrawing from the market and taking profits with them, particularly in the case of base metals whose prices have fallen by one-fifth.
