Welcome to the Spring edition of Strike,

The Spring issue of Strike has a commodity focus, as recent months have seen a flurry of activity in the sector. In Market overview, Andrew McHattie summarises this activity and considers whether commodities will continue to perform despite recent negative economic news around the world. Perhaps it’s time to consider including one or more of the ever-expanding range of SG commodity-linked investments in your portfolio?

The Warrant section outlines the best way to leverage your exposure or hedge a holding of stocks using Index put warrants. Société Générale now offers more than 700 covered warrants including a broad selection of local and international indices such as the FTSE 100; Nikkei 225 and Nasdaq 100. Find out more on www.sgwarrants.co.uk.

‘’Gold investment trends for 2008’’ highlights the leading LSE-listed exchange traded commodity – the Lyxor Gold Bullion Securities – and takes a look at the behaviour of the gold price so far this year. In 2008, think Gold! 		----a-
