Value investing has had a record month. This cheap share is up 32{429fc2506e610357e12b2a5665db82631200a2e00b3a1d8839077d76f18e2e8b}, but I’d buy now

With November almost over, what a month it’s been for UK shareholders. News of Joe Biden’s US election victory gave cheap shares an early boost. Then news of three effective Covid-19 vaccines lit the fuse and shares skyrocketed like fireworks. So far in November, the FTSE 100 index has soared by 790 points since Halloween, up over 14{429fc2506e610357e12b2a5665db82631200a2e00b3a1d8839077d76f18e2e8b} in four weeks in a record-breaking comeback. It’s a similar tale across the Atlantic, with the S&P 500, NASDAQ and Dow Jones Industrial Index all setting record highs in the past week.

The FTSE 100 has had a rough year

Although this month has seen a record-breaking rebound, the FTSE 100 has had a poor 2020. It’s down nearly 16{429fc2506e610357e12b2a5665db82631200a2e00b3a1d8839077d76f18e2e8b}) this calendar year, even after November’s fireworks. With few big tech stocks and heavy weightings in banks, oil & gas, and miners, the Footsie has fallen out of favour among global … Read more

Hawaii seeks to be seen as a remote workplace with a view

ASNF 10 months ago

Software engineer Raymond Berger begins his work day at 5 a.m., before the sun comes up over Hawaii.

Rising early is necessary because the company he works for is in New York City, five hours ahead of Maui, where he is renting a home with a backyard that’s near the beach.

“It’s a little hard with the time zone difference,” he said. “But generally I have a much better quality of life.”

The pandemic is giving many workers the freedom to do their jobs from anywhere. Now that Hawaii’s economy is reeling from dramatically fewer tourists, a group of state officials and community leaders wants more people like Berger to help provide an alternative to relying on short-term visitors.

Coinciding with the approach of winter in other parts of the U.S., “Movers & Shakas”—a reference to the Hawaii term for the “hang loose” hand gesture—launches Sunday as a campaign … Read more
