The PM’s ambition seems to be central to trade talks with the EU – but if there is a strategy behind it, he’s not letting onDid Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings, before they reportedly embraced the idea that the UK must be free to throw oodles of state cash at technology companies to create home-grown global champions, ask tech specialists what they thought of this grand vision?If they did, the reply may have been: not much.

Hedge fund joke

As the plane comes in to land they see one purple sheep alone in a field.Professor Passive says “Every kiwi sheep is purple! I must buy them ALL, now. At ANY price owners ask, no matter how high or overvalued. It’s not my money. No need to know ovine business or earnings. Forget about analysis or due diligence. Ignore risk!

Welcome to the Mad, Mad World of Social Security
When should you start taking Social Security benefits? If you haven’t yet asked that question, you will one day. Few personal finance questions matter as much as this one. That’s because the majority of retirees get more than half their income from Social Security. And close to 20 percent of retirees get all their income from Social Security.1 That’s why the question is so important. Unfortunately, the Social Security system is complicated — so complicated, in fact, that only 33 percent of respondents, aged 55 to 65, were able to pass 12 “true or false” questions on Social Security posed by MassMutual.2 So, when should you start taking Social Security benefits?
