Ever since we moved away from bartering and sea shells as hard currency humanity has been moving closer and closer towards virtual economies (paper money, credit cards, online banking, etc.).

 

Keith chats to Simon Dingle about the rise of virtual economies such as the massive online game World of Warcraft and even a truly virtual currency - Bitcoin.

 

Keith chats to Stuart Thompson about forecasting in investing, but do investors fully understand not only the risk within forecasts but also the implications of accepting these forecasts?

 

We see it all the time in the investment industry - almost as a rite of passage; forecasts on stock prices, Greek defaults, gold price at yearend, economic data and so the list goes on. But how often are these forecasts accurate enough to actually be meaningful? Is it even possible to do it accurately? Is it even possible to do it inaccurately? Or are we just wasting our time?

 

Perhaps it's all about how one approaches them?

 

Keith chats to Eleni Giokos about the role and influence the media has in financial markets. Can they move markets? Are they appreciative of their influence? Do they serve investors and traders?
