The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: The problems of the media sector and 4Imprint
Neil Shah of Edison Group discusses the media sector. While consumers may welcome the end of the online cookie, in the UK only the movie and entertainment sectors are doing well, with most others struggling and hoping to see rising confidence among consumers. Neil, however, discusses one company that has and continues to do well. Based in the US but listed in London, 4Imprint does branded marketing for small businesses. An exceptional business, it's highly efficient, caring and has a tiny market share and, although highly rated, it's deserved.

The Business of Film: Meg 2 - The Trench & Paris Memories
James Cameron-Wilson marvels at the UK box office, down a mere 10% on the week but up 165% YOY. Barbie has passed the $1bn mark, the first time for a woman director and it and Oppenheimer are still #1 & #2. In at #3 is monster movie Meg 2: The Trench with Jason Statham, bizarrely directed by highly-regarded Ben Wheatley. James found it so silly, it almost became a farce. He did, however, adore French film Paris Memories, on at selected cinemas. A psychologically complex look at the aftermath of a terrorist attack, he found it one of the most human films he's ever seen.

Gadgets & Gizmos: AI comes to computer games, writing music with your brain & storing electricity in concrete
Steve Caplin tells Simon Rose about the latest tech developments. There's a demo of AI computer game characters who can interact realistically with players, devices to help deaf concertgoers and blind subway users, how simply thinking about music can now actually produce it, glue that can be unstuck on demand, a camera so fast it can capture light in motion and take photos in almost total darkness, an electric guitar for children, why bras may be soon be able to check for breast cancer and how buildings made of concrete could become giant batteries.

The Bigger Picture: NHS waiting lists, inflation, asylum seekers & net zero
With NHS waiting lists reaching a record high of 7.6m, political commentator Mike Indian looks at the PM's pledges on that and on inflation, still stubbornly high. He discusses the migrant issue as the first asylum seekers arrive on the Bibby Stockholm, wondering why asylum seekers couldn't be put to work in the interim and wishing that on this, and many other issues, we could have some bigger thinking. He also looks at Net Zero and why it has become the political football of the summer.

Thought for the Week

Thought for the Week: Public Finance Disasters in small print
Government Debt at the end of June '23 was £2.53 trillion, or £38,000 for every person living in the UK. This will be increased by 10% as a result of HM Treasury indemnifying the Bank of England for their QE losses and the cost of the dysfunctional HS2 project. Hidden away on page 54 of the Infrastructure and Projects Authority Annual Report is where you can find their assessment of the huge HS2 project: then check out William Hague's Times article, 'HS2 has gone from shambles to red alert'.

The Financial Outlook for Personal investors: Reaction to the BoE's latest interest rate rise
Laith Khalaf of A J Bell talks to Simon Rose about the Bank of England's latest interest rate rise, the 14th in a row, taking it to 5.25%. As he points out, two MPC members wanted to increase it to 5.5%. Laith looks at the BoE's latest inflation forecasts (which will be a relief to the PM) and discusses the ramifications of Fitch downgrading the United States' credit rating. Investors, he says, shouldn't get too caught up in all this but should stick to their knitting and keep a long-term view.
