The Hypnotist: The Wardrobe of Audacity and Fearlessness
Imagine if you could reach into your wardrobe and select whatever emotional resource state you wished, in the same way as choosing what to wear? This episode draws on theories of behavioural psychology which enable a degree of self-control so that you can, for example, choose when to be fearless or when to have a high level of confidence. Needless to say, this is not just personal: marketeers use it deliberately to create an anchor designed to maximise their promotions.

The Bigger Picture

The Bigger Picture: The Tory party leadership contest & conference and Labour freebie controversy
Political commentator Mike Indian discusses the surprisingly upbeat tone at the Conservative Party conference. He takes Simon Rose through the four leadership contenders, explaining who he thinks will be the pair party members will vote on. He also talks about the interventions of three former leaders, Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss and Boris Johnson. Turning to the controversy about freebies given to Labour ministers, he considers the ethics of lobbying. While feeling Keir Starmer is right to return £6,000 of gifts, the PM must address the giving of gifts, as well as tackling MPs' second jobs and the issue of Sue Gray.

The Business of Film: The Outrun, Megalopolis, Never Let Go, I Could Never Be Your Woman, His Three Daughters

The Business Of Film

The Business of Film: The Outrun, Megalopolis, Never Let Go, I Could Never Be Your Woman, His Three Daughters
James Cameron-Wilson reorts on box office down 9%, the third downturn in a row. He thought #3 The Outrun, a searing drama based on a memoir starring Saoirse Ronan, a terrific film. A work of arthouse cinema, it's a beautiful and emotional expedition with great acting. Francis Ford Coppola's long-cherished dream project Megalopolis reaches the screen at #7 but it is preposterous, self-indulgent and incomprehensible and had the audience leaving in droves. #10 Never Let Go with Halle Berre is a boring cabin-in-the-woods horror. But James was unexpectedly delighted by Ronan's first film from 2007, I Could Never Be Your Woman, which is available to view free online. He found Netflix's family drama His Three Daughters unduly theatrical and disappointing.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Flying shopping trolleys, a defensive ladies' fan & cutting cow burps
Steve Caplin laments the demise of the car CD player. But he looks forward to flying shopping trolleys which can even handle stairs. A powerwash simulator apparently improves people's mood. A traditional ladies' fan converts into a tactical defence baton, for a price. There's a kayak with an electric motor you can pedal, if you can deal with one of the worst websites Steve has ever encountered. A hydrogen balloon is the latest space tourism venture. There's a nasal gel to trap viruses. Westinghouse are producing a nuclear microreactor with no moving parts which lasts for 8 years without refuelling. And Australian scientists have discovered that clay reduces the methane from cow burps by 30%.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Greggs & Gresham House Energy Storage Fund
Neil Shah of Edison Group sees little to disappoint with Greggs' Q3 results. It remains a hugely efficient machine which is great at understanding consumer needs. Opening new stores aggressively in the wake of Covid and expanding into evening service, it remains attractively priced. He also looks at the collective investment vehicle Gresham House Energy Storage Fund. It has performed poorly of late. But the long term opportunity is great as we pivot to renewables, which need battery energy storage and it is an interesting opportunity as it is at a significant discount. More information is on the Edison Website. (https://www.edisongroup.com/research/rising-revenues-and-big-plans-for-the-future/34011/)

Thought for the Week

Thought for the Week: Inter-generational Logic
UK Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson describes our current system for financing higher education as 'the worst of all worlds', and she's right. The combination of loan funding and universality has generated chronic problems for both students and universities. We need to apply inter-generational logic to address both this problem and the challenges faced by other disadvantaged young people from low-income backgrounds. The Times placed this story on its front page last Saturday, and re-introduction of maintenance grants for these young people will be part of the solution: this issue will clearly get some focus in the UK Budget on 30th October. Hopefully it will also include those other areas where focused help is needed for disadvantaged young people, including starter capital accounts and incentivised learning, with funding to be drawn from IHT receipts.

This Is Money: How to protect your finances before the Budget (and what to avoid)
With just one month to go before the Budget, Georgie Frost, Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce discuss what you might consider doing to prepare for it? Give money away, use allowances (CGT, ISA, pension contributions) to the full, or leave the country? The team reminds us that 'don't panic' is often the best way forward. There's also a couple of interesting readers' questions, about ignoring a father's will and re-marriage to save tax.
