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.

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.
