1. Renewal Or Evolution? This was our most read article of the year and the title may have attracted some outside interest from human evolution devotees but in fact this was a classic example of what attract readership at QVM. It all started with a controversial article claiming that QVM renewal was simply an evolution of business at the market. Then there was a well thought through response questioning the process of renewal, and finally a measured summary from one of our Trader Representatives which seemed to put the matter to bed, at least for now. The issue certainly deserved our number one spot for the year.- http://www.victraders.com/2015/03/trader-responds-to-renewalevolution.html
