Top Free Android Finance Apps
We still continue to witness the repercussions of the credit
crunch. But this debacle has gone far beyond the demise of banking
institutions. The volatility of the financial markets has been further
increased by the recent downgrade of US debt by the international
ratings agency, Standard & Poor's. However it is the disunited
states of Europe which represent even greater risks with several
European countries having major solvency problems. The actions needed
to mitigate the risks rest at the national and international level.
Nevertheless, in times of heightened uncertainty and volatility, there
are real opportunities for the individual investor.
