Eugene was attracted, though, by the Financial Services Industry, hence he decided to look outward and investigate his options in the corporate world. He made the mind-switch and chose the latter route to pursue his life goals. He thrived on the huge scope that soon became apparent to him whilst gaining valuable training and financial advisory experience. Eugene is totally dedicated to his cause in providing holistic advice and financial planning for his clients. He is a fervent reader of financial literature and he remains abreast of the ever changing industry dynamics, regulatory reform and economic landscape by continually adding to his skills and knowledge bank such as having undergone extra ordinary certified courses in, among others, Practice Management as well as a specially certified course in the highly acclaimed 6-Step Process in Financial Planning. In addition to his education background, he obtained a Post Graduation Diploma in Financial Planning. Eugene is regarded as a highly respected and competent financial planning professional. His teaching experience and educational training has also undoubtedly equipped him with knowledge and skills that few advisors today possess. Psychology having been one of his major subjects, is of natural interest to him and hence behavioral finance which in recent years in particular, has surfaced as a recognized financial planning discipline, is an area that he seeks to further explore. Many top analysts/economists agree with this view, saying that it is quite normal to have a slowdown after an initial burst of activity, as the re-building of inventories comes to an end. Volatility remains high in markets as the news ebbs and flows from good to bad during this slowdown, causing emotions to run high. But the bottom-line for equities offshore and locally is the big picture, namely the world economy, because this directly affects company earnings, which feeds into share prices. One of the most convincing pieces of the puzzle arguing in favour of the continuation of a cyclical global bull market in equities is the US yield curve, where the ten year US government bond exceeds the short-term Fed Funds rate by around 3%. On the currency front, the euro bounce against the dollar is so far intact, in line with renewed risk-taking by investors (and a much lower Vix or fear index) and although the rand has regained a bit against the pound, the trend of rand strength to the pound remains broken. Spain stands to benefit much more than Holland from its mighty win because its 40.5 million people have been suffering badly from one of the nastier economic slumps and very high unemployment of over 20%. Overall, we expect manufacturing activity levels to soften over the next few months, especially on an annual basis. Offshore, US government revenue is responding to the improvement in economic activity and is now up 25%y/y. The US fiscal deficit is slowly improving, but remains substantial relative to GDP.
