- A big data week with UK GDP, UK inflation and US inflation numbers. UK GDP disappointed, UK inflation came in soft, while US inflation came in hot. We dig into all the numbers. Plus we have special sections on GRANOLAS, the correlation between equity PE ratios and bond yields and the PE ratio of the S&P 500. Plus we have all the usual macroeconomic and markets data.
Unfortunately we had a few problems this week. Richard went down to his yacht but forgot to take his laptop which meant he was unable to join in the presentation, so you just have me, Keith, hosting this week. One consequence of his absence was that I had no-one to point out that the slide sharing was not working for much of the podcast. I have therefore had to add them in the edit with the consequence that the live feed is missing for much of the first 25 minutes. I know that you will all be hugely disappointed not to see my face for the duration. Normal service resumes next week.

Our podcast is entirely free and in order to maximise the viewing experience we do not accept distracting UA-cam advertisements. We therefore rely on voluntary donations via Gofundme to help defray our running costs. All donations are very gratefully accepted and the generosity of our audience is a source of constant delight to us.
Unfortunately we have had to instigate 2 factor authentication on our Discord channel to discourage Crypto-scammers. It remains a welcoming environment where private investors can swap information in a positive and supportive environment. Please join us.
I liked Portfolio Matters more when they occasionally looked at individual companies. The high level macro view is interesting but not actionable.
I completely understand. I will return to looking at stocks when I am in looking to move into equities. Right now I am stuck in bonds praying that they recover as UK inflation subsides.
Good stuff on PE Ratios… worth a deeper dig to avoid misconstruing underlying “truth” from “narrative”.
