The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: If the market is in a bubble, what stage are we at?
Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, asks whether markets are currently in a bubble. If they are, what are the various stages common to bubbles over the years and the centuries and what stage have we reached? For those investors concerned we ARE now in bubble territory, what are the options? And, as an aside, why do the regulations (and blame) always concentrate on short selling and not the overenthusiastic buying that drives the bubble in the first place?

The Business of Film: Golden Globes, Moxie, White Colour Black & The Shape of Water
James Cameron-Wilson looks at the Golden Globes and wonders whether this year's winners are likely also to triumph at the delayed Oscars in April? He reviews the comic high school drama Moxie, directed by Amy Poehler as well as a visually impressive Anglo-Senegalese movie White Colour Black. Firing up his DVD player, James took the opportunity to revisit The Shape of Water, a strikingly unusual major movie which won 4 of the 13 Oscar nominations it received.

The Bigger Picture: Did Rishi Sunak get the Budget right?
Political commentator Mike Indian looks at Rishi Sunak's March 2021 Budget, assesses the politics and the messaging behind it and asks if the Chancellor got it right. With most major measures heavily signalled in advance, there were few rabbits to be conjured from the top hat, making it difficult for the opposition to find an effective response. As Mike points out, after a year of Keir Starmer's leadership, people could be forgive for wondering what Labour stands for. He also looks north of the border at the ructions involving Alex Salmond and discusses the danger of effectively having a one-party state.

He discusses The Integrated Review, the much-delayed review of Britain's defence and foreign police and says the MOD needs to innovate - and quickly. And he looks at signs that central planning is being rolled back in Zimbabwe, Venezuela and Cuba.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Have bonds finally reached their tipping point?
Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, highlights the current danger in bonds. After a bull run lasting over three decades, are there signs that the end is nigh? Gilt yields are rising, most quickly in some outlying markets and there are signs inflation might soon be beginning to simmer. And if this is the end of an extraordinary period, what might it mean for the equity market?

Gadgets & Gizmos: Colour e-readers, coffee as a diet aid, spying emails and cubic wombat poo
Share Radio's technology guru Steve Caplin looks at Jaguar's move to electric-only production and Coventry's bid to establish a battery gigafactory. Still with electric, there's more on the modular EV chassis and a Japanese electric oil tanker. He welcomes a colour e-reader, despite the price, and the news video games make you feel better. Coffee, he tells us, helps you burn fat while there's a clever new light in a bike helmet, the revelation that ⅔ of emails contain spy pixels and a suggested use for wombats' ability to poo cubically.
