Risking money is nothing compared to risking your life
Having trouble sleeping at nights worrying where the next move is coming from ?
Tearing your hair out because you’ve just missed a 5o pip move? Can’t work out what really is going through the minds of the world’s cental banks?

Well just remember that there’s tougher challenges out there and we should keep things somewhat in perspective
El Capitan climb raises the bar
Two US climbers – who spent more than two weeks scaling the sheer face of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park – have finally reached the summit of the 3,000ft (914m) rock.
Kevin Jorgeson, 30, and Tommy Caldwell, 36, are the first climbers to do so without aids, except for harnesses and ropes to prevent deadly falls.
They began their historic half-mile ascent on 27 December and during the climb the pair slept in tents suspended from the mountain face.
