Liz who? Was she just a Will -o – the – Wisp that was cancelled by the establishment blob as if she wasn’t there? So now the way is clear for the Return of Boris (for the Second Coming?) And to an almost certain economic

Bullish mania is running rampant in Pundit-land – at least it was until last week. Human nature, being unfixed probably in millennia, compels most to find easy-to-digest rationalisations for what has just happened. And since June, what happened was the strong share rally off the
Stocks continued their bear market rally last week as more investors are taking the plunge to ‘get back in’ for fear of missing out (FOMO). Bullish sentiment has changed up a few gears with widespread belief the worst of inflation is over and the Fed
