Motley Fool Money: Morgan Housel on Inflation, Incentives, and Investing through Bear Markets (24/3)
“No one's success is proven until they've survived a calamity.” You can’t join the NBA with a few good shots, but you can join the ranks of “great” investors. Luck and skill are much harder to separate in the financial world and making that distinction can take a few decades. Chris Hill talked with best-selling author Morgan Housel in front of a live audience about why inflation is so personal and variable, Elon Musk’s best product (hint: it’s not a car), the power of incentives, the secret to 99% of Warren Buffet’s success, and investing through bear markets. Companies mentioned: BRK.A, BRK.B, HOOD, TSLA. Host - Chris Hill; Guest - Morgan Housel

While medical treatment is rarely enjoyable, it can be associated with positive thoughts, giving the brain the opportunity to go for a better alternative.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: What should investors do in these markets?
Russ Mould of A J Bell is slightly puzzled by some of the market reaction to the UK mini-budget, given how little debt, relatively speaking, is being added to the whole, though realising how poorly it was presenting. He thinks investors should get rid of anything causing discomfort in their portfolios as that discomfort could get much greater. He offers advice on the sort of stocks investors should be holding and, for reasons of diversification, wonders if short-term bonds might be worthwhile. But if there's a big shakedown, he says, then bargains will appear.

The Business of Film: Ticket to Paradise, Don't Worry Darling & Avatar
James Cameron-Wilson celebrates a box office take which has more than doubled with the Julia Roberts, George Clooney comedy Ticket to Paradise at #1. Sadly, James found it charmless and excruciating. At #2 is Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling with Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, which James found intriguing but ultimately a cop-out. He was more enthusiastic about the rerelease of Avatar which he thought better and more topical than he remembered. He also tells Simon Rose about the top 10 foreign language releases in the UK.

The Bigger Picture: The mini-budget and the market response & the Labour Party conference
Political commentator Mike Indian discusses with Simon Rose the Chancellor's mini-budget and the market turmoil it caused, as well as criticism from the International Monetary Fund. Arguing that previous dashes for growth didn't end well, he asks if there really is a correlation between the tax burden and growth and whether the level of regulation in the UK really is too high? He also looks at the Labour Party conference, understanding the confidence but pointing out that Keir Starmer is still missing a narrative of excitement.

Thought for the Week: Workforce Capacity is the Missing Link

Thought for the Week: Workforce Capacity is the Missing Link
There's a key missing link in Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-Budget strategy — workforce capacity. The unemployment rate is already at a record low of 3.6%, with many more vacancies than job-seekers: if we don’t tackle workplace capacity, the new Growth Plan won’t work. However there are initiatives we can take at both ends of the working age-range which could increase the available workforce by at least half a million people, together with significantly improving mobility for young adults to take advantage of work opportunities wherever they arise, and reducing public expenditure on health and care services. So, while the current focus is understandably on Government borrowing and the exchange rate, we must increase workforce capacity for the Growth Plan to succeed.
