Bloomberg


Merryn Talks Money with Bloomberg senior columnist Merryn Somerset Webb is your key to understanding how markets work – and how you can make them work for you. Every episode features a relaxed but in-depth conversation with a fund manager, a strategist, a Bloomberg expert or just someone Merryn finds particularly interesting in any given week. Listen in for the kind of insights and explanations everyone can use to help them make better saving and investing choices.


Merryn Talks Money

Daniel Rasmussen, founder of Verdad Advisers and author of The Humble Investor: How to Find a Winning Edge in a Surprising World, joins Merryn. 
 
They discuss his book, why all forecasts are wrong (and why we need them anyway), the case for selling US tech and buying small caps, whether we’re in an artificial intelligence bubble, and Japanese equities.

This is a replay of a conversation taped in January this year.

Have We Finally Turned a Corner?

There’s no tradeoff between net zero and growth in the UK. That’s the conventional wisdom and the position of the current government. But what if it’s the decline in available electricity that’s causing productivity, GDP and living standards to stagnate? 
 
Research from Kallum Pickering, chief economist at Peel Hunt, suggests there may indeed be a connection. He joins Merryn Somerset Webb and senior reporter John Stepek on Merryn Talks Money to explain that the rise of power-hungry artificial intelligence and the UK’s renewed focus on defense may mean the government should reexamine its energy policies.

Tactics, Tariffs and Truth Bombs

In this week’s Merryn Talks Money, host Merryn Somerset Webb sits down with Euronext CEO, Stéphane Boujnah to explore the reasoning behind the sense that investors are starting to look away from the US and towards Europe for opportunties. They discuss a range of topics from evolving market conditions, investor sentiment and the growing uncertainty surrounding US economic stability. They also discuss the impact of Europe’s institutional framework on its investment appeal and the role of European market integration in attracting capital. 
 
“Europe today is perceived as a large Switzerland. It’s not like everyone is getting fascinated by the growth prospects of European economies,” says Boujnah. “It’s just the feeling is that the institutional framework is stable and predictable.”
