My 11 year old son turned to me a few days ago and asked the most wonderful question… “Dad, have you got any New Year’s Revelations ?” Aside from the sheer pleasure of the phrase, his comment really has got me thinking. What indeed did 2015 reveal ? An…

Good morning. One hundred and thirty two minutes late, defective junction box at New Malden. I do apologise for being late, this was not due to faulty railway infrastructure, but rather due to over-indulgence at the Pub after another excellent meet the…
Greene King is the brewer CAMRA loves to hate. It’s been an acquisitive company, buying Ridley’s, Hardy’s and Hansons, and Morlands, as well as Belhaven Brewery, and closing down many of the breweries to concentrate brewing at its Bury St Edmunds site….
Good morning! When I first started investing, an old friend taught me that you have to ask one key question before relying on a PE multiple to value any company – “are earnings sustainable?”. If the answer to that question is yes, then you have to try …
