Playing FTSE Trumps Market Changes - How Bad Are They For Investors?
What has more rabbits than people? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!
Steve D is back from holiday and his portfolio is firing on just about every cylinder available. Steve W hasn’t done badly, but it’s been a great week for the man from Hull…
Nearly nobody thinks the US stock market should be more like the UK. But President Trump has floated plans to shift US-listed firms to reporting twice a year.
The idea isn’t entirely without merit, but it doesn’t look like an obviously good move. Steve and Steve have some questions – and even the odd answer.
Shares in FTSE 250 telecoms company Gamma Communications just keep falling. But they had a big 11% jump after earnings, which reversed itself within half an hour.
The stock market can be a volatile place, but it’s not usually as choppy as this. Steve W has a theory about investors misinterpreting the firm’s H1 report.
A P/E ratio of 10, a 6.75% dividend yield, and an acyclical business. Is there anything not to like about Pets at Home?
Quite a lot actually and it’s pretty much all of the above, along with the firm not having a CEO. Steve D takes a closer look.
Judges Scientific is in both our portfolios and the Britbox. So Steve W’s been looking at what we think is one of the UK’s top growth stocks.
At least, that’s what it looks like. But with a huge revenue contribution from an extremely erratic business, is there any hope of trying to value this stock at the moment?
