The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: The dilemma facing the Fed & Bank of England
Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, looks at the rather limited policy options facing the US Federal Reserve and, for similar reasons, the Bank of England. With federal debt mushrooming in 40 years from $1 trilion to $28 trillion and inflation showing signs of returning, what are the Fed's options? Are they right to consider the spike in inflation temporary? What if they are wrong and we return to an inflationary environment after so long with minimal interest rates?

The Bigger Picture: Liberal Democrats - the long journey to Chesham & Amersham
The news that Sarah Green has wrested the constituency of Chesham and Amersham off the Conservatives for the first time in its history merits a look back over the Liberal Democrat's long decline. The centre ground is not an easy place to be in politics, and the new MP has needed the frequent sight of HS2 bulldozers and stormtroopers to get her majority - but she's done it. This look-back over Liberal Democrat history with Simon Rose and Mike Indian was first published in October 2019, just before the last General Election.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Are IPOs indicating the end of the boom?
Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, wonders if new floats can help investors determine when the market might turn. He quotes John Brooks writing, "If one fact is glaringly obvious in stock market history, it is that a new issues craze is the last stage of a dangerous boom". Although a few offers ought to warn investors that if it's such a brilliant idea, why are the original investors selling, he does not feel that the UK market is getting IPO-overheated.

The Business of Film: A Quiet Place 2, Gunda, Summertime and Awake
James Cameron-Wilson marvels at the justified success of A Quiet Place 2 at the top of the UK box office, with a take worthy of pre-pandemic box office. He found the film both thrilling and moving. He was also drawn in – eventually – by Gunda, the cinematic equivalent of slow TV, a black and white documentary following every detail of the daily life of a pig. He rewatched and recommends the 2015 French love story Summertime but had trouble staying awake during Netflix's Awake, a dystopian sci-fi film in which nobody can sleep.

The Bigger Picture: Tory opposition to planning reforms, Germany's reliance on Russian energy & the EU and Switzerland
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University delves into the Government's proposals for boosting housebuilding and reviving ideas of a home-owning democracy, wondering if it will come under attack from the Conservative Party's own MPs. He discusses why Germany is becoming ever more reliant on Russian energy and how it will constrain international relations in the future. And he questions the flexibility of the EU's outlook on trade after an eight-year attempt to do a trade deal with Switzerland collapsed.
