Market News In 2 Minutes @ 20th August 2014

Market News in 2 minutes
If you follow this daily market news blog series, you will notice that there is a missing post for yesterday (19/08/2014). The reason being that I fall sick yesterday and decided to rest without any blogging. But I am back and kicking now! So, expect longer post today! ;-)

As stock investors (even though a small one), it is important to keep abreast with the latest financial and market news. Since I am in it, I thought it might be worthwhile to share it out with my readers too.

Hence, I started this "Market News In 2 Minutes" series.
