iBall to bring forward some winter cheer

The leaves are turning a golden hue and winter is around the corner. Investors, on the other hand appear far from hibernating.

There appears to be life in the market, and while that seems sustainable everyone is out there looking for bargains.

And of course, that means iBall is watching and we have a fabulous series of programs planned out for you for the last quarter of what has been, to put it mildly, an eventful year.
