The index gambling trading started as usual this year. However,
the market soon had a very large single day drop on 2/28. This has
directly caused the 15% loss in March. It took two months (Apr & May)
to get back what had been lost in one (March).
Trading during the next two months (Jun & Jul) were relatively quiet. But the
market turned extremely volatile in August when the sub-prime mortgage
explosion rattled the whole market. As the credit market liquidity
disappeared, it has eventually triggered the stock market panic on 08/16.
August trading ended with an unprecedented loss of 35%.
Although the stock market zigzagged during the rest of the year, the
trading was relatively stable, largely due to very tight risk control. The
year of 2007 eventually ended with a profit.
