The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: What if Covid DID leak from a lab in Wuhan?
Tim Price, director of Price Value Partners, considers the possible ramifications if it comes to be accepted that Covid-19 originated in a laboratory in Wuhan. Investors should, he feels, weigh the consequences of what - intended or not – would be the worst crime in human history. It would have such an impact on investment, business and political psychology that the only historical analogy that comes to mind is the 1930s. Tim's recommendation for investors? Enjoy the party, but dance near the door.

The Business of Film: Cruella, Army of the Dead & Top Gun revisited
James Cameron-Wilson marvels at the UK box office chart, where The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me, the 8th in the Conjuring series, topped the list with a £2.7 million weekend take. Cruella, with Emma Stone and Emma Thompson, was not as dark as James had hoped, being rather more pantomimic in tone. On Netflix, he felt that zombie film Army of the Dead is Zack Snyder's best film since Man of Steel. Although the sequel has been put back, he also revisited the original 1986 Top Gun.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Could rising US pay inhibit equity markets?
Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, looks at mounting evidence of wage pressure in the United States. Amazon is taking on 75,000 more workers in the US and Canada but is having to offer double the minimum wage together with a signing-on bonus and health & dental care. While it took two years for US incomes to recover after the Financial Crisis, this time it's only taken eight months. What might the ramifications be for central banks and for markets? Russ advises investors to think about the things people are not talking about rather than what they are and to hunt out intrinsic value.

The Business of Film: Peter Rabbit 2, The Unholy and Oxygen
James Cameron-Wilson unveils the first UK box office cinema charts since the reopening of cinemas. It is topped by the hugely-successful Peter Rabbit 2, although James laments the film itself, about which he struggles to find a kind word. As for The Unholy, he considers it a formulaic horror quickie. To find anything worthwhile, he had to turn – as so many do – to Netflix, where he found excitement in the French-American futuristic film Oxygen, starring Melanie Laurent, which he recommends.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Bitcoin, gold and inflation
Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, looks at Elon Musk's role in the collapse of the price of Bitcoin. He ponders the different behaviours of the cryptocurrency and gold of late, pondering why there has been so little interest in the real metal when it would normally come to the fore with such government and central bank profligacy. He looks at the behaviour of other commodities and discusses where we now are with thoughts on inflation.

The Bigger Picture: How net zero could make us richer, the new age of the train & GB News
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University looks at the volte-face from the International Energy Agency's volte-face and how the move towards net zero could make us richer. He also ponders some possible political implications of the end of the era of oil and gas. He examines the history of the role of the state in Britain's railways and asks if the government's shake-up of the UK rail system could usher in a new age of the train. And he wonders what the impact of GB News could be on TV's currently homogenised news output.
