Enhanced/Gold
weekly coaching sessions
1DOES TURMOIL IN SOUTH KOREA MAKE AN INVASION OF TAIWAN MORE LIKELY OR LESS LIKELY?
President Yoon Suk Yeol tried to impose martial law but then the military was stood down. His leadership is in doubt at a time when tensions with North Korea are also rising.
2ARE THINGS REALLY THAT BAD IN THE UK ECONOMY?
The OECD just raised UK GDP forecasts for next year but businesses (especially retailers and those in hospitality) are talking a really downbeat game.
3IS IT WORTH BUYING INTO BITCOIN NOW OR IS IT TOO LATE?
Bitcoin hit $100,000 this week, the crypto bros are coming. What could possibly go wrong?!?
4WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO BOOST EV DEMAND ON A SUSTAINABLE BASIS?
Industry players are talking with the UK government about ZEV and ways of taking the edge off.
5WHAT'S THE ENDGAME WITH CHIPS?
China is continuing to wean itself off foreign chips and are urging companies to rethink American purchases. Will the sanctions be counter-productive in the long term?
6WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH UK HOUSE PRICES?
They continue to go up despite being increasingly unaffordable. When will the bubble burst?
