► Episode Notes:

Why has Paul been selling his stocks in a bear market? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast!

Following on from last week’s portfolio update from Steve and Steve, Paul is here with one of his very own. Half of it isn’t there any more. But why has he been selling? And do the Steves approve? Paul’s here to tell us everything.

The US Fed is hiking interest rates to tackle inflation. Cathie Wood thinks this is a bad idea. ARKK has had a rotten year and it’s crushed the ETF’s total return over the last five years. Is she talking her own book, or does she have a point?

We’ve also got more news from Netflix. We talked about the ad-sponsored plan last week, but Paul wasn’t here and he’s got some thoughts to contribute. With the ad-supported plan around a fiver, will anyone pay for the premium version? And how long will it stay this cheap?

Lastly, we’re looking at inflation and the macroeconomic news. With nothing better to do with his time, Steve W has been thinking about why the markets are constantly going down every time there’s a jobs announcement, an inflation print, or a GDP update. But what’s he thinking about the stock market at the moment?
