Some German companies are making big deals today and German stocks prices are expected to rise as a result.

Conglomerate said that it’s going to buy an American company that makes oil equipment for 7.6 billion dollars. This should help greatly in their gas and oil business in North America.

Another big move today is the separation of Bosch and Siemens. Siemens announced that it’s going to sell their 50% share of the company to Bosch for 3 billion euros.

Today is probably a good day to invest in the German market.

After today’s big vote for Scotland’s independence, here’s a summary of the pound changes (up until now) compared to the dollar, euro and yen:

• GBP:EUR - 1.2731

Change Today: +0.0048 

• GBP:USD - 1.6395

Change Today: 0.0000

• GBP:JPY - 178.4958

Change Today: +0.2959

After a lot of tension in Scotland in the last few days, the results of the vote are finally here. Scotland voted not to separate from the U.K and will stay under their control. The vote ended with 55% voting “No” and 45% voting “Yes”.

As a result of the vote, the pound rose sharply like many expected it to, making a lot of profit for the people who were able to predict it ahead of time.

In addition, this also pushed the dollar to a six year high against the yen, since the pound also rose against the yen.

As the vote for Scotland’s independence gets closer to a finish, smart traders take advantage of the situation. By Friday morning the results of the vote will be known in what may be remembered as an historical moment.

Although no one knows for sure how the vote will end, this is a great time for traders to try and make some money on the pound.

If you think the vote will end in a “yes” and Scotland will be independent, you should expect the pound to drop. If you think the result will be “no” and Scotland will remain under the U.K, you should expect the pound to rise.

It’s also important to mention that the oil prices may be affected by the vote since Scotland has their own private oil resources.

Making the right decision can produce a big profit, so you should see a lot of trading going on in the next 24 hours.

After a long wait, iOS 8 is finally launching today. According to Apple, iOS will be available to download today (September’s 17) at 1pm Eastern Time in the US, which is 6pm in the UK.

What are the advantages of upgrading to iOS 8? There are a lot of new features that are available by upgrading to iOS 8. Here are some of them:

• Voice messages.
• Family Sharing.
• Health and HealthKit.
• Widgets.
• New typing features (whole-word predictive typing and third-party keyboards).
• Third-party implementations of Touch ID (although obviously this only applies to you if you're on an iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus).

For you traders out there, the Touch ID feature can now be used with third-party apps. For example, e-commerce apps would be able to use fingerprint authentication for extra safety.

What are the disadvantages of upgrading? Basically, the device might work slower if you have an old device like iPhone 4 or iPad 2. This happened with iOS 7 and it may happen again with the iOS 8.

Keep your eye on the Apple share today, which may rise if the launch is successful or fall if there will be serious problems.

In 2 days, on September's 19th, you will be able to buy the shares of the huge Chinese company - Alibaba. Should you do it? Although Alibaba seems like it's going to be a major success, here are 5 things you should know before buying:

1. Ownership. Alibaba is mostly controlled by it's board of directors. Regular share holders will have almost no influence, which is unusual and might be a problem later on.
   
   
2. Fake Merchandise. Unlike Amazon, Alibaba doesn't own it's merchandise, it just connect between buyers and sellers. This caused some people to sell fake merchandise and it doesn't seem like Alibaba can find all of them to take them down.
   
   
3. Conflict of Interest. Alibaba relies on a lot of different companies in order to make it work. For example, Alipay, the company that's in charge of Alibaba's payment system, isn't owned by Alibaba. That can be a real problem at some point if a conflict of interest will occour. 
   
   
   
   
4. Unwise Purchases. Alibaba has made some very questionable purchases in the past, spending a lot of money buying companies that the investors don't like.
   
   
5. You don't really buy Alibaba shares. To bypass some Chinese rules, Alibaba has made an arrangement with another company, which means that you don't buy share of Alibaba, but of the other company instead. The Chinese courts didn't approve this yet and it might become a problem in the future.
   
   

Look out for Yahoo, who owns %24 of Alibaba, which may see their share rise on September's 19th - the date of Alibaba's IPO (Initial public offering).

While most major currencies went down on Wednesday, the dollar actually climbed. The reason is The Fed's Open Market Committee (FOMC) that will conclude its regular two-day policy meeting later in the session.

The dollar came under pressure late on Tuesday after the Wall Street Journal's statement about the U.S. central bank actions.

"There has been some scaling back of expectations, but we are still bullish about the dollar going into the FOMC," said Yujiro Goto, currency strategist at Nomura. "We expect the Fed to start raising rates from next year onwards and there will be changes to outlook to growth, inflation the dots for interest rate changes."

Gold, silver and precious metals stocks take a dump

Gold (GLD) dropped another 2.98% this week as it breaks major support with increasing volume. This is not a good sign.

Silver (SLV) lost some 3.12% for the week. Silver is keep getting lower and lower for a while now and it doesn't seem like it's going to change soon.

Platinum (PPLT) was smashed, falling every day this past week to end down 2.9% on balance. This white metal has no chance at all with gold and silver so weak.

Palladium (PALL) was hit very hard and lost 5.87% for the week. Like Platinum, Palladium really has no chance of moving higher with the other metals so weak.

On Thursday, Scotland will vote whether to break off from the United Kingdom. This vote can have a big impact on the market.

Over the past two weeks, the pound has taken a big fall against the U.S dollar. Scotland produce a lot of oil and one of the major concerns is how the U.K will divide its energy resources if they do break up.

Two of the biggest banks in Scotland, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds, said that if Scotland will gain independence they will move to England. Their shares have been under a lot of pressure recently.

In addition, it's still unclear whether Scotland's currency will stay the same or change. 

How does this affect the market?

There's a chance that the press is making a big deal and not much will change. 

However, some say that it's recommended to short the pound through Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning and then closing the shorts and placing buy orders a bit above where the pound is trading.

This will allow to capitalize on the pound's upward momentum if the "no" vote wins, and avoid being exposed to any drop in the unlikely scenario of a "yes" vote.
