Who’s home wifi is Steve W using? Find out in this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

There’s been a lot going on this week and Steve and Steve are here to talk about it. We’re talking UK banks, US banks, Wetherspoons and REITs.

Kicking off is a look at the UK banking sector. Monzo (a company both Steves own shares in) has come up with a new feature to help people plan their emergency funds – is it something either Steve will be using?

With interest rates rising, Steve D has been moving his money to take advantage. Where has he been looking and what’s the best rate a UK investor can hope to find in today’s environment?

Steve W’s been looking at the latest earnings from J D Wetherspoon, which he mentioned a couple of weeks ago (and doesn’t own). The stock is 13.5% after its report, but what’s the catch behind that big cash flow number?

After that, we’re going across the pond to the US. Steve D’s been following the latest from Jerome Powell and his views on interest rates following the banking issues. Anything exciting here?

Lastly, dividend growth favourite Realty Income has been busy lately. They’ve agreed a $1.5bn sale and leaseback arrangement for some convenience stores, but what does Steve W (who owns this stock) think?

Only on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast!
