Investors profit on volatile markets

THE roller-coaster ride on equity markets is providing shrewd investors with numerous opportunities to make profits of close to 20% in a matter of weeks.

On Wednesday the ISEQ Index of Irish shares dropped by 0.96%, on Thursday it shot up by 1.27%, adding €727m to the value of shares but yesterday shares fell by 0.82%, eliminating €471m of the previous day’s gains and this has been the pattern for a number of weeks.

Real profits are being made in the see-saw market and Bloxham Stockbrokers in particular are very optimistic about investment opportunities in equities. Their latest suite of wealth management products launched last month is making good initial gains.
