London Calling: FTSE-100 Racks Up its Best Quarter in History
by Martin Denholm, Senior Editor
Wednesday, October 1, 2009
As September concluded, so too did the third quarter of 2009.
And what a quarter it was for London’s FTSE-100 (^FTSE) stock market. In fact, it was the Index’s best three-month period in its 25-year history.
As global stock markets scoffed at the traditional “sell in May and go away” adage and sizzled throughout the summer, the “Footsie” notched up a 21% gain.
The positive vibes weren’t just restricted to Britain either. Stocks across Europe enjoyed a strong summer, with the FTSEurofirst 300 Index of top European shares posting its best quarter in 10 years, with a gain of 16%.
The question is: How long can the markets – both in the U.S. and overseas – walk the tightrope between bull and bear? As any savvy investor knows, no market or stock ever goes up in a straight line without correcting, or at least pulling back a bit to relieve the overbought conditions.
Perhaps the onset of the fourth and final quarter of 2009 will bring about a change in investor sentiment. In fact, a Reuters survey showed that economists expect the global markets to stumble towards the end of the year.
So along with the usual end-of-year window-dressing, as investors adjust their portfolios for tax purposes, we could see volatility kick up a notch, as any investors who haven’t managed to recoup their early 2009 losses make a bid to do so before Big Ben chimes at midnight and the ball drops in Times Square.

The medical director at the Alta Bates Comprehensive Cancer Center says, "...possibly a third of our cancer patient population will soon be undergoing this [company's] treatment."
Another doctor at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center says he intends to treat over 1,000 patients a year with this technology.
Here's how you can claim your stake in the company before this cash infusion sends shares soaring.
