As the Westpac's deal foresees counter bid from other banks, trading of bank stocks have plummeted over the last week. The Big Four banks have rallied and the five biggest players have touched their record high. The Westpac deal with St. George has renewed interest in bank stocks which are usually taken as safe haven. According to portfolio manager, Matthew Kidman from Wilson Asset Management, "For 10 years everyone has said that banks are a safe haven -- and they're definitely not that because they're highly geared and we've seen the share prices get thumped."

There you have it, the five topics that have caught my eye in the past week: George Soros, elections, the US dollar, oil and gold.
