To quote iconic movie character Ferris Bueller, ‘Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it’. This observation from the righteous dude is especially pertinent when it comes to the financial markets.
As recently as Wednesday, key indices were up and the Sharesify team thought they could focus on company results. But US markets got smashed overnight again, leaving the S&P500 and Nasdaq trading well below their 200 day moving averages.
In the latest Podcast, Ian and James ponder whether markets are now looking oversold. Ian explains why staying invested is the right strategy, as the market’s best days usually follow its worst days.
James discusses the latest forecast ‘beat’ from best-in-class retailer Next (NXT) and flags encouraging results from e-commerce group THG (THG). Ian explains why defence firm Cohort (CHRT:AIM) is one to watch, and explains the positive reaction to the latest news from outsourcer Capita (CPI).
The team then talk about the latest developments in the investment trust sector and preview results from Irn-Bru maker AG Barr (BAG), ‘athleisurewear’ giant Nike (NKE) and electronics maker Raspberry Pi (RPI).
