March 01, 2022 Ep 36: Spencer Jakab on the real winners in the GameStop saga
Robin’s guest on this episode is Spencer Jakab, an investment columnist on the Wall Street Journal, who has just written a book on the GameStop phenomenon, called The Revolution That Wasn’t.
The Texas-based video game and consumer electronics and retailer hit the financial headlines in January last year. The reason was a short squeeze that resulted in a 1,500% increase in the GameStop share price over the course of two weeks. “GameStop Mania” was mainly attributed to a coordinated effort by the Reddit community r/wallstreetbets.
At the time, the episode was seen as an example of the growing power and influence of ordinary investors. The truth, says Spencer Jakab, was very different.
So what are the lessons from GameStop? What can investors, regulators and the investment industry learn from it?

January 24, 2022 Ep 34 ARKK falls again, but are we really in a market crash?
As Cathie Wood's ERK Innovation fund and technology stocks in general continue to struggle, Robin Powell asks Larry Swedroe whether we're in the early stages of a market crash. Legendary investor Jeremy Grantham certainly seems to think so. Last week he warned that stocks are in a "superbubble", and that once interest rates return to normal and realism returns to an overzealous market, the bubble will pop. Perhaps it has popped already?

January 10, 2022 Ep 31: Larry Swedroe on Cathie Wood's stricken ARK fund
Robin Powell interviews Larry Swedroe about Cathie Wood, the high-profile Wall Street fund manager who is currently making the headlines for all the wrong wrong reasons.
Her flagship ARK Innovation ETF ended 2021 in a 40% drawdown that only worsened to nearly 50% in the first few days of January.
So, is Cathie’s Ark sinking?
What, if anything, should Ark investors do now?
Do Ark’s current problems tell us anything about the current state of the global equity markets?

March 31, 2021 Ep 30: John Turner on stock market bubbles
Few people predicted that global stock markets would bounce back as strongly as they did from the sharp market falls we saw in March 2020.
Here we are, more than a year later, and most of the major markets are not far off all-time highs.
So are we in a bubble? What are the warning signs to look out for?
Are bubbles inevitable? And if so, is there anything investors can do about it?
Robin Powell discusses all these issues and more with John Turner, Professor of Finance and Financial History at Queen’s University, Belfast.
Professor Turner is a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences and an editor of the Economic History Review.
He’s recently written a book, with William Quinn, called Boom and Bust: A Global History of Financial Bubbles.

January 15, 2021 Ep 29: David Ricketts on the Neil Woodford scandal
It’s been more than a year and-a-half since the Woodford Equity Income fund, run by the former “star” fund manager Neil Woodford, was suspended.
Since then, investors in the fund, now called the LF Equity Income fund, have endured a frustrating time, with little apparent progress being made towards securing compensation for those affected.
And we’re still awaiting the findings of an inquiry into the affair from the UK regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority.
We’ve been speaking to the journalist David Ricketts, who’s written a new book on Woodford’s spectacular fall from grace. It’s called When the Fund Stops.
In this interview we explore some key questions.
Could Woodford’s demise have been foreseen? Where exactly did he go wrong? Why wasn’t more one to protect investors? Who’s to blame? And will we see more Woodford-style scandals in the future?
