  • Saxo announced this week that it has partnered with London Capital Group and launched a spread betting service to its UK clients
  • One month into 2009 and the world seems to have reached a fork in the road: either some positive fruits of the many rescue packages will start to appear, or the recession will really worsen and turn into a depression.
