The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: The governance checklist investors should use
Russ Mould of A J Bell looks at the stability – or lack of it – of FTSE CEOs compared to football managers, with the former averaging 5.4 years against just 1.5 years. More seriously, he discusses his governance checklist, a fascinating series of questions investors should ask themselves before committing themselves to buying any particular company's shares.

Gadgets & Gizmos: 2023 review with bizarre TVs, remote stroking, powdered beer, AI and more
Steve Caplin takes Simon Rose through some of the highlights of the tech year, with trouble for Apple, WeWork, Buzzfeed & the FAA, while AI boosted the likes of ChatGPT and even commentated on Wimbledon. Some TVs were free while others used a vacuum to stick on the wall. Hong Kong scientists developed remote stroking, while German monks created the first powdered beer – with no alcohol. The best-rated restaurant in Montreal turned out not to exist while AI is revolutionising computer games, publishing and much more. And we mustn't forget the world's fastest wheelie bin and the first movie shot on the International Space Station.

The Bigger Picture: What does 2024 hold in store, domestically and internationally?
We go stargazing with Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University as he looks ahead to 2024. What will happen politically in the UK when so many people feel that our politicians have so little idea about the realities of daily life? On the international front, the world has turned so much darker in 2023 with so many danger spots around the world. What will the future hold, particularly when politics is polarising in so many places? What will the result of the shifting sands of demographics be and how will the young find meaning and success in a world that has become so challenging for them?

The Business of Film: Godzilla Minus One, Rustin & Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget

The Business of Film: Godzilla Minus One, Rustin & Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget
James Cameron-Wilson reports on the UK box office. Takings have dropped 25% but Wonka still rules. Godzilla Minus One is #2, a rare foreign language subtitled movie to ride high in the charts, though taking only £817,000. James found it a decent monster movie but no more. On Netflix, he thought Rustin, the real story of the gay civil rights activist, interesting despite much overacting. He was delighted, however, by Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, which he reckoned not just the best animated movie of the year but one of the best movies of 2023 full stop.

Steve Caplin wows Simon Rose with the latest in the world of gadgets. Dr. Who at Christmas reduces the death rate. There's an electric penny farthing, a cargo e-bike with 3 wheels in a line and an e-bike with no battery. Lego modellers can make a 1977 Polaroid camera. Apple is to update security to reduce iPhone theft. 3D portraits go portable. The missing space tomato has been found. Cardboard can be recycled into a polystyrene alternative. And Hyundai's tyres can come with built-in snow chains, though only in video form so far.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Themes to watch for 2024

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Themes to watch for 2024
Russ Mould of A J Bell suggests the themes investors should watch out for in 2024. Equity markets seem optimistic while the gilts market – with an inverted yield curve – suggests a recession is likely and the commodity markets seem completely confused. Debt, however, is the biggest issue in the world, creating a headache for central banks. China, France and, soon, the US will all be using 20% of tax income for meeting interest costs. Scary enough in itself, if there's a recession, tax income will drop while welfare payments will soar. In summary, whatever has driven the markets in the past 10 years may not work for the 10 years, but there will always be opportunities.

The Business of Film: Wonka & Leave The World Behind
James Cameron-Wilson celebrates UK box office +43% WoW and +173% YoY. It's the prequel Wonka that's responsible which, while a little woke and lightening Roald Dahl's dark world, is nonetheless great fun, somewhat in the moud of Mary Poppins. While Timothy Chalamet doesn't have the requisite magic, Hugh Grant excels. The music (there should be more) and dialogue is delicious and the young audience when James saw it forgot all about toilet breaks. James also saw Leave The World Behind on Netflix. Starring Julia Roberts, against type, it's an often implausible, but hugely enjoyable, Hitchcockian thriller taking its audience on a roller-coaster ride with comic underpinning.

Gadgets & Gizmos: The latest wonders of AI and an e-scooter the size of a briefcase
Steve Caplin delves into the latest AI developments. Google's Gemini AI can work with text, audio, images, video or even hand-drawn pictures. The forthcoming TV news Channel1 has AI presenters and reporters and will use "trusted news sources". Steve demonstrated how it translates on the fly. Amazon, meanwhile is to invest $4bn in a startup to generate a chatbot called "Claude". Most impressive – and potentially scary – is BrainGPT which converts thoughts into text. There's a crowdfunded e-scooter which folds down to the size of a briefcase while a Dutch shipbuilder has come up with an e-vessel to support offshore wind farms that can recharge from the turbines it is servicing.
