Financial News Update we 23/4/2010

Good Morning,

An early update this week…

So, who won your vote then? The televised debate was a “first” and gave them the opportunity to shine but what did you think of their proposals?

Quite a few articles this week, although I had to sift (if you will pardon the pun!) through all the volcano related items out there… why is there so much scare mongering when these things happen?

Anyway, hope you have a fantastic rest of the week and enjoy the weather at the weekend!
