My research with B. Hearn & I. Filatotchev uncovers a key factor in stock returns: free float. Analyzing S&P 1500 stocks, we find that free float differences create a hedging factor that enhances CAPM alongside size. Read in Journal of Corporate Finance: bit.ly/4kp26qq.

His products are overrated. I had one of his handheld vacuum cleaners. OK, it lasted more than 10 years. However, it would only ever last for 5 minutes on a fully charged battery. Parts of it also needed to be replaced every other year.

We condemn the scandalous US visa ban on former EU Commisioner Breton and digital activists. Protecting democracy isn’t censorship. ✋🏼

Disinformation isn’t free speech. Europe won’t take lessons from those undermining democracy and free speech.

Here in Europe we set our own laws. 🇪🇺✊🏼

This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time

"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"

Chair says "have English as a second language"

Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

El 31/12 termina la moratoria antidesahucios y, si no se prorroga, podría producirse una ola de desahucios sin precedentes. Más de 60.000 familias están en vilo, en situación vulnerable y sin un lugar alternativo donde ir.

England’s water industry issued £10.5bn in ‘green bonds’ despite pollution record
River Action says use of issuance tied to environmental benefits is ‘corporate greenwash on steroids’ Water companies have issued a fifth of the UK’s “green bonds” since 2017, despite a consistently poor record of sewage pollution during that time, research has shown. Privately owned water companies in England have together issued £10.5bn in bonds tied to projects that offer “environmental benefits”, according to analysis of financial market data by Unearthed, which is part of Greenpeace UK.
