    In today's podcast the guys talk markets, oil, TACO, M&A, Shell's guidance cut and other news.

    In today’s Podcast, the Sharesify team discuss another crazy week for stocks after the US and Iran agreed a ceasefire. Is this the biggest TACO in history? Appraently not, Ian reckons. With the FTSE 100 up over 2% and European markets up 3% to 4%, it’s a banner day for stocks. In the US, index futures are pointing to gains of 2% to 3% for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, says Steve. James talks us through why results at car dealer Motorpoint (MOTR) were better than expected. Also, why Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square (PSH) is pushing the boat out with a bid for Universal Music, and there’s more biotech M&A news. Speaking of M&A, Steve laments the potential sale of FTSE 250 tech name Gamma Communications (GAMA) to an as-yet unnamed suitor. And Ian reveals aerospace and defence stock Senior (SNR) is also in the departure lounge despite Advent International pulling out of the bidding. The chaps also run through Shell’s (SHEL) cut to Q1 earnings guidance and what it might mean for the full-year results. Lastly, there’s a positive surprise from car finance lender Close Brothers (CBG) which has sent the shares skyward today.

    In today’s Podcast, the Sharesify team discuss this week’s big bounce for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq and Steven explains why ‘loose cannon’ Donald Trump’s utterances could send indices lower again. James urges investors to stay calm and remain invested despite this turbulence. As the old stock market adage goes, ‘time in the market beats timing the market’.

Ian talks about the latest share price leap at affordable computing firm Raspberry Pi (RPI) and picks up on McBride’s (MCB) warning over the impact of the Middle East war on prices and supply.

    In today's podcast: JPMorgan Claverhouse, positive Luceco and Volex results and the Goodwin shocker.

    In the latest edition of the Sharesify Podcast, Ian and James discuss why markets remain difficult for investors to navigate due to the ‘tape bombs’ emanating from the White House. While the FTSE 100 has resurfaced above the 10,000 level, the FTSE 250 has been slower to recover. On the earnings front, James addresses the Middle East challenges facing protein powders-to-supplements firm Applied Nutrition (APN) and highlights this week’s fresh £300 million buyback from DIY retailer Kingfisher (KGF). The FTSE 100 retailer’s B&Q and Screwfix chains are on solid foundations but the French market remains a drag. Ian shines the spotlight on insurance-to-workplace benefits business Personal Group (PGH:AIM), which smashed it in 2025 and is sticking to its 2030 targets. Heading in the oppositive direction was Goodwin (GDWN), the family-controlled engineer which plunged on fears it may have to suspend production. Ian reckons many retail holders have moved on and marched their money into fantasy miniatures maker Games Workshop (GAW) instead. Finally, James looks forward to our upcoming Podcast specials with investment trusts AVI Japan Opportunity (AJOT), MIGO Opportunities (MIGO) and Law Debenture (LWDB).
