The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Can miners restore the FTSE yield and is inflation returning?
Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell asks whether, in the light of the increase in mining company dividends, the miners can dig the FTSE 100 out of its dividend hole, particularly given the cautious dividend stance exhibited by Barclays. He discusses the cyclical nature of the mining sector and wonders if its strength, and the strength of so many commodities, might be an indicator of inflation expectations.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: If the market is in a bubble, what stage are we at?

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 Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: One year on from the market low
One year on from the market lows of March 2020, Russ Mould, Inestment Director of A J Bell, looks at what has done best - and what has done worst - in the 12 months since. In retrospect, he points out, what seemed to be the safest areas when everything was bleakest turned out to be the most dangerous. Explaining why first Asian and then Emerging Markets have done well, he says that, within the UK, the sectors that have performed best have been oil and financials.

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.
