    Burnham as anointed a bunch of pro Israel supporters what does that mean he has told us he is no humanitarian he also not truthful and is aligned to lies of begonia from two corrupt countries who stated these wars

  • Poor episode on 'Manchesterism'

    Really disappointed by the episode on 'Manchesterism' when the guest by his own admission didn't know much about Manchester's economy. Worse, neither did Merryn or John, which begs the question why bother with the episode? What could have been an interesting episode examining how Manchester has transformed its economy over the past 35 years, boosted its population, and built its transport infrastructure whilst taking a pro-business approach ended up merely concluding that Burnham simply wants to... more

  • Lack of balance

    I enjoy listening to most interviews, especially ones that have a strict finance focus and provide contrarian views on how to approach investing. The first time home buyer series was also extremely informative. However, as the flagship UK offering from Bloomberg, it would be great if Merryn and John could offer a bit more balance beyond their current anti government rhetoric and right wing views. Maybe it would be beneficial to have guests with alternative views to counter their arguments and of... more

  • Separate business from politics

    A decent show, generally informative and enjoyable but I find the inability of the hosts to separate their personal politics from the reality of markets means they are relatively frequently incorrect on a whole host of issues.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Case for Buying Small Caps Now
Q: What's the most interesting one you've added recently?
Stuart Widdowson identifies Zotefoams, describing its distinctive foam-making process, strong market position, long-lived and largely depreciated assets, growth plans and attractive valuation.
The Case for Buying Small Caps Now
Q: What makes a great manager?
Simon Evan-Cook says a great manager must be willing to differ from the market when circumstances call for it and have the conviction to withstand pressure. He also favors bottom-up stock pickers who seek good companies at low valuations.
Can the AI Boom Survive a Margin Squeeze?
Q: Bubble or boom?
Hou says the key issue is timing rather than a simple bubble-or-boom verdict. Demand may arrive more slowly than infrastructure supply, but successful products could also accelerate adoption and drive a market rally.
Can the AI Boom Survive a Margin Squeeze?
Q: What is that information telling you right now?
Hou says token prices have declined substantially since midyear even as GPU rental rates have risen, suggesting pressure on AI companies' economics despite growing compute demand.
French Bond Markets and AI Neoclouds Feel The Pressure
Q: At one point do you think the ECB starts to say, actually, there's a risk that this is existential for the Euro?
Unsted says that point is still a long way off: the financial system is more robust than during the eurozone crisis, and French yields are not yet at disorderly levels.
