Episode 19: Biogens cure for Alzheimer's?


Listen Later

Is Pokemon Dollar a cryptocurrency? Why are fence panels so expensive? And what’s been going into Steve W’s arm this week? Find out in this week’s Playing FTSE Podcast!

Briscoe’s in charge of the games this week, as the Steves try to distinguish cryptocurrency from computer game currency. Next it’s on to talk about everyone’s favourite subject: tax, as we discuss whether the G7 ambition to finally get some money out of Google by controlling the world’s tax regulations has any legs. Then it’s on to news from Biogen to find out why Steve D doesn’t want to buy a company that might just have released a blockbuster Alzheimer’s drug, the first of its kind to be approved by the FDA in 18 years. And we finish in the SPAC market with news of what’s going on with Bill Ackman's megaSPAC.

What’s been going on in the financial world and why should anyone care? Find out as we dive into the latest news and try to figure out what any of it means. We talk about stocks, markets, politics, and loads of other things in a way that’s accessible, light-hearted and (we hope) entertaining. For the people who know nothing, by the people who know even less. Enjoy!
