Now with a 3.5% yield and dividends growing rapidly, Russ assesses the FTSE's growth prospects and says that your outlook will be coloured by whether you feel the UK is out of the pandemic woods yet or not.

The Bigger Picture: The Duke of Edinburgh, Covid's help to the economy, Scotland & business & who won the war?
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University pays tribute to HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, the longest-serving consort in British history. He discusses whether Covid might end up boosting the UK economy rather than harming it. He wonders why Scotland's ruling politicians are so unsympathetic towards business. And he looks at a new book that says that Western historians of the Second World War have always underestimated the importance of the Russian role in defeating the Nazis.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Why trend-following may trump fundamental analysis
Tim Price of Private Value Partners explains why he thinks technical analysis - particularly trend-following - may be a more useful discipline than fundamental analysis. He recounts the anecdote of the true-life counterparts of the film Trading Places, with so-called novice investors, called "turtles", taught an investment system, with many of them becoming hugely successful. He points out the downside of index investing and believes that the early warning of problems with the world's burgeoning debts may first be seen in the foreign exchange markets, which central banks are not big enough to control.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Why value investors need patience - lots of it
Tim Price, director of Price Value Partners, looks at why benchmarking to stock market indices is a bad idea and why investors should think more about the preservation of capital than chasing the latest market fads. Tim discusses the surge of interest in cryptocurrencies, why gold is less rampant and why value investors, of which he is one, need considerable patience. Citing the ignominious debut of Deliveroo amongst other things, Tim senses the market may be on the point of a big change of sentiment.
