Leicester City – Premier League Champions 2016
If you’ve just returned from another solar system, you might not know that Leicester City football club won the English Premier League title for the first time in their history in 2016. Starting the season as 5000-1 outsiders, they triumphed over many well known and better funded clubs. I confess that I am not a follower of football. As a Leicester citizen, I couldn’t help but be riveted to the media coverage of this local success story. So why am I writing about a football success story on a trading website, apart from the fact that Plan B Trading is based in Leicester? I think...

After the huge success of the film adaptation of his autobiography, Jordan Belfort has become a man in high demand. I went along to his recent event at the ExCeL Centre in London, which was full with entrepreneurs keen to learn from his methods. Belfort brought every ounce of the USA with him, we were frequently encouraged to stand up, fist pump and repeat ‘yes’.

I’m not going to harp on about how I remember when the first mobile phones were released (but I do, and well). In fact, I think it’s quite astounding how accessible everything has become by carrying a smart phone with you. Back in the day it was hard to get information that you were looking for even using the internet or a library it seemed like such a prolonged process but now everything is available to you with just a few clicks on your phone. In a market as volatile...
