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.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right…
What a grim betrayal of our democracy.

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins
Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

Kristallnacht was in 1938. The Reichtag was apparently (this is disputed) set alight in 1933 by a Dutch communist, hence the parallel with Donald's Trump radical keft killing Kirk.

So, Charlie Kirk was killed by a gun-obsessed guy raised by Republican parents? How does that fit the narrative?

And, this NYT article dates back to 2019! There is no radical left in the USA, but definitely a radical right.

We can have a long debate about whether the Democratic Party is centre left or centre right. However, look how much farther to the right the Republican Party is compared to right-wing European parties. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The idea that there is a "Left" in American politics is an absurd right wing fantasy, which of course is politically useful to them, but unfortunately it's also useful to centrist media figures who need it to be true for their somber above-it-all commentary to make sense

Can you imagine that happening to Nigel Farage in the UK? Farage claims to be an anti-establishment guy, but has a good part of the British establishment protecting him.

Will the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the resulting call for retribution be America's equivalent of the 1933 Reichtag's fire in Germany?

The rest of the world watches this soap opera of a country in shock and horror... I just can't understand how a country that was supposed to be the leader of the free world can crash and burn so quickly when one man is able to take to complete control.
