Episode 34: Evergrande implosion, energy shortages and a kick in the balls

This week find out who smashed their finger with a hammer, who tried to stir a pan with a lid on and who got kicked in the balls. We open up this week with Steve W coming through on last week's promise to deliever a game called "Apple, Google, or Amazon". For a bonus point, see if you can guess which are the two companies that have a Triple A debt rating from S&P.

Moving swiftly onto this week's headlines find out the boys opinions on the energy crisis. With the UK running short on natural gas, the boys discuss the future for low cost green energy suppliers, what will happen next, and whether this is an opportunity for Hydrogen to step up to the plate.

We finish with Evergrande - is this doomsday for the stock market, is there anything worth being frightened about or is it all a lot of crap? On the way we discuss trivial subjects such as debt, property speculation, and the value of democracy.

 

 

What’s been going on in the financial world and why should anyone care? Find out as we dive into the latest news and try to figure out what any of it means. We talk about stocks, markets, politics, and loads of other things in a way that’s accessible, light-hearted and (we hope) entertaining. For the people who know nothing, by the people who know even less. Enjoy!
