In the first episode of 2022 David, Will, and Craig try to bring some order to a rather tricky new year for global markets, discussing what risks and opportunities this presents. The team also explain why they aren’t reaching for the gold despite growing geopolitical risks, and why they are buying baser commodities instead.
On this month’s episode, Will and Craig review and score David’s predictions for 2021 against how the year actually panned out. Decide for yourself whether they are too harsh on David’s crystal ball gazing. More importantly, the team discuss how their strategy has evolved in 2021 and ponder the latest shift in the ‘growth’ vs ‘value’ debate.

On this month’s episode of The Sharpe End, David, Will, and Craig ask whether investors are getting too excited about dubious subscription business models, and whether investors are looking critically enough at these ‘flywheels’ of growth.

Speaking of wheels, they also look at how the shift from exercise bikes to a set of real wheels helps Shimano.
