Hi Luke
I just want to say thanks for today being on hand to sort through my problems that I have been having. In fact to the whole team Jenny who has always been available and Jack with his mentoring, basically although I have yet to be successful I wish I had started to use this company a long time ago. I am probably jinxed and have probably been your company's most awkward client but still the support from you all is 101%.... (looks like I am in the money with Apple...miracles do happen even for me)....
Anyway I hope you will pass my thanks on to all those I have mentioned and those I didnot mention.. As soon as I am able to be in good profit I hope to send business your way.
Kind Regards
Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
1. Potential market movers -- Yahoo, Etsy
Shares in Yahoo (YHOO, Tech30) are posting a modest 3% rebound premarket after they tanked by about 8% late Tuesday. Investors hit the sell button on concerns that the company would be hit by new tax rules when it spins off its stake in Alibaba (BABA, Tech30). But the tech giant has reportedly issued a statement saying it will not be affected by any IRS tax rule changes.
Shares in Etsy (ETSY) are down by roughly 17% premarket after the company reported a big quarterly loss. It was the company's first earnings report since its IPO.
2. Down day in the markets?
U.S. stock futures are looking soft ahead of the open, but this comes a day after the Dow Jones industrial average eked out a minor gain to close at a new record high. The S&P 500 is also trading near record levels.
European markets are all edging down in early trading. Asian markets ended with mixed results. Japan reported annualized growth of 2.4% in the first quarter. That was stronger than expected but analysts warned the pace of expansion would slow later this year.
3. Earnings
Target (TGT), Staples (SPLS) and American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) are reporting ahead of the open.
Salesforce.com (CRM, Tech30), Williams-Sonoma (WSM) and the owner of Victoria's Secret, L Brands (LB), will report after the close.
4. Economics
The Federal Reserve will publish the minutes from its latest policy meeting at 2 p.m. ET.

Thank you very much sir."
Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
1. Stocks surging
U.S. stock futures are rising, giving investors hope that the Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 could smash new records.
Both indexes hit fresh closing highs Monday. The Nasdaq also rose by 0.6%.
2. International overview
There's a lot going on in Europe right now. European stock markets are rallying in early trading, with both the CAC 40 in France and the DAX in Germany shooting up by about 2%.
European government bonds are also firming, and the euro has fallen by just over 1% versus the U.S. dollar.
Investors are reacting to comments from a senior official at the European Central Bank, who was reported to have said the ECB would step up its bond-buying in May and June before liquidity tails off over the summer. The asset buying is part of the ECB's stimulus program to kill off eurozone deflation and boost the economy.
Asian markets mostly ended with positive results. The Shanghai Composite led the pack with a gain of 3.1%.
3. Earnings
Get ready for a slew of retail earnings.
Walmart (WMT), Home Depot (HD), Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) and TJX (TJX) are all reporting ahead of the open.
Meanwhile, Wall Street newbie Etsy (ETSY) is expected to report after the close. Shares in the company surged by nearly 90% immediately after the company went public in April, but they have since fallen back by roughly 30%.
4. Economics
The U.S. government will post monthly data on housing starts and building permits at 8:30 a.m. ET.
And across the pond, U.K. inflation data shows consumer prices fell in April by 0.1%, making this the first time the nation has experienced deflation since official records began in 1996. However, many officials expect this to be a one-off blip, not the start of a deflationary spiral.
