iBall interviews Rodney Hobson
May 9th, 2008Rodney Hobson is a very experienced financial journalist who has written for and edited some very grown-up titles indeed.
He has been writing about shares since since, ooo, long before iBall was even an inclination.
He is also the author of Shares Made Simple: a Beginner’s Guide to the Stock Market and that’s what he came to tell us about.


These are tricky and turbulent times and picking a winner can be a difficult task. Well, Alison and iBall love to shed a little sunshine on gloom and not only that but our writers between them are beating the market. Click on the portfolio link below to see how we’ve performed and perhaps pick some of your own winners from the ones we’ve already found. There’s a couple of corkers in there.
