The capacity of finance journalists to ignore dividend yield is astonishing. This suggests a FTSE100 investment from 10yrs ago wouldn't have kept place with inflation. The index would not: but an investment with yield would have. Easily (& yielded far more than cash) www.thetimes.com/article/59a6...

I know he's younger than the previous pontiff, but even so, this is pretty impressive stuff given the limited time he'll have had in nets recently.

That Trump attempting to bully Harvard barely registers any more is a sad indictment of how low US politics has fallen under Trump. Universities need to work together to stand up to Trump or their independence will erode.

Orban making overtures to Simion made sense from one perspective only: to gain an illiberal ally in the EU Council. Orban chose to make this incredibly costly gamble, essentially betraying the Transylvanian voters his party spent decades cultivating. And he lost. This is likely consequential.

Agree but the relevance of yes minister still amazes me. Virtually all of the dilemmas are still resonant. The Middle East, Europe, transport, industrial policy, defence, “up north”, councils, arts funding, personal data, the literal physical space of No 10, it’s all there

“There’s a small but growing tribe of pontificators, politicians and columnists who can be relied on to mock and demolish net zero without suggesting any alternatives. This is just climate denialism in a posh suit.” @arusbridger.bsky.social @prospectmagazine.co.uk

Tesla results look awful. What is even worse is that Q1 includes about a month before DOGE implemented anything and the anti-Tesla feeling has only grown since then. Q2 is going to be FAR worse.

Trump opens his Truth Social account and wipes $1.3tn off the S&P500 (-2.8% currently). A stable genius. The moron premium continues to grow.

Why is it that Brooks insist on making their running shoes look like they've been designed by a talentless five year old who has been given access to the highlighter pens for the first time? Great running shoes, yet I am struggling to bring myself to buy the latest iteration.

My Trade Secrets today. It's a longstanding American grievance that predates Trump: US companies can't sell cars in Europe & elsewhere because of evil trade barriers. It's actually because US protectionism has encouraged its carmakers to make clunky great gas-guzzlers no one else wants to buy.
