The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: The advantages private investors have over fund managers
Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, considers the reaction of equity markets to growing concerns about inflation. Having discussed this very possibility here for some time, Russ points out some of the advantages private investors have over fund managers. If they can conquer the Fear Of Missing Out then they not only don't have to follow the herd but don't have to be invested at all. He points out some areas investors could look at if they are concerned about inflation and even suggests one very bold call - commercial real estate.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Vulnerable routers, wine bottle NFTs, smart water & transparent wood
Steve Caplin worries about the vulnerabilities of pre-2018 routers. The latest NFT (non-fungible token) is for wine bottle pictures. The UK's first electric bus will arrive this year.

Councils are trialling smart lighting to move commuters and the Co-op is issuing smart water to use against aggressive customers and shoplifters. Jeff Bezos is holding an auction for a space flight.

The Bigger Picture: What is the future for Labour, America's socialist soul & Iran cosying up to Venezuela
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University asks what the future is for Labour, wondering whether the party needs a strategic refresh, possibly even linking up with the Libdems, if it's to avoid the fate of many left-wing parties in Europe. He discusses why, despite the common perception of the USA, America has always had a socialist side to it, dating back to its earliest European settlers. And he expresses concern about the way in which Iran and Venezuela appear to have become bedfellows, helping each other to avoid the effects of sanctions.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Will commodities soar instead of stocks?
In the light of market reaction to Janet Yellen's comments about inflation, Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, asks if markets are at a major turning point. If inflation is making a comeback, what would the effect be for equities? Should investors be thinking about real assets rather than paper assets? With, apparently, 41% of US household assets now in the stock market, are equities exhibiting too much exuberence?

He looks at Amazon's trials of contactless palm scanning, at their smart doorbell to deter porch package purloining, at Porton Down's new machine for training bomb-sniffing rats, at a smart bird feeder, at B&O speakers masquerading as books and at the development of paper-thin loudspeakers.

The Financial Outlook for Personal investors: How to spot the next round of market winners
Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, applies Sir John Templeton's dictum on the four stages of bull markets to suggest how investors can spot the next round of market winners – and dodge the losers. He compartmentalises the market's sectors into those suffering pessimism, scepticism, euphoria and optimism and suggests how investors might be able to suppress their natural instinct to follow the herd; as Warren Buffett said, "You cannot buy what is popular and do well".
