Where Money, Investing, and Technology Meet
What caught my eye this week. Remember last summer when I pondered whether an army of everyday investors – led by a legion of cash-rich city boys – had gobbled up so much of the low-coupon Treasury 2061 gilt that it was distorting the yield curve? Readers steeped in the UK government bond market opined […]
Childcare can be terrifyingly expensive prospect for parents and would-be parents. And a complex one too, with UK parents of under-fives facing a hodgepodge of overlapping schemes, rules, and exclusions. Navigate this support system correctly, and even highly-paid mums and dads can save tens of thousands of pounds a year. But play it badly – […]

What caught my eye this week. The formerly fêted fund manager Terry Smith has had a few rough years in the markets, but last year was a doozy. The UK investors who once poured money into his flagship Fundsmith vehicle saw their domestic market deliver nearly 26% in 2025. A global tracker – a better […]
I like playing the odds when it comes to the stock market. I’m a long-term investor because it increases your odds of success. There are no guarantees but the short-term is far more volatile than the long-term. But the odds in the stock market are not static. These things are constantly changing and the results […]
