Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show! It’s been a really good week for UK shares. The election going as the market expected has helped prices in the FTSE 100 and the FTSE 250. Steve and Steve are in to talk about the election, but not just the election. There’s a lot to talk about in terms of stocks to consider buying. We’ve talked about the election quite a lot over the last few weeks, so feels right to have a debrief now that it’s all done. Labour won in a landslide and there were big gains for Reform and the Greens. What lessons should investors – and UK citizens more generally take from this one? Steve and Steve have their ideas, but from now, it’s mostly about looking forward. Monzo has been boosting its security recently. The bank that brought in a notification to say they’re not calling you now has some interesting new features. There’s now the ability to set locations for transferring large amounts, so if your phone goes missing there’s a bit more protection. Would Steve and Steve be willing to sign up for it? Labour’s plan to build 1.5m new houses over the next three years is ambitious. But it could be a big boost for Forterra – the show’s favourite brick manufacturer. The stock is climbing after the election result on the promise of strong demand. Steve W is wondering whether this is time to buy, sell, or hold, though. We haven’t discussed McDonald’s on the PlayingFTSE Show before. Most people – certainly us – know what it does, but there’s more going on than meets the eye. Widening margins and a declining share count aren’t what we might expect from a stock at a 52-week low. So is there a buying opportunity here for either of the Steves?

Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show! It’s the last show before the UK election and the end of the first half of 2024. That means it’s a good time for Steve and Steve to have a look forward in politics and back in the stock market. Steve D has managed to keep his churn relatively low. A run through his portfolio indicates there have only been a few big sells, with Deckers and Cava among them. So what has Steve been buying? There’s a UK stock in the mix and could there possibly be a return to his portfolio for an old favourite? Steve W has also sold one big position and one smaller one. But with the start of the new financial year, he’s been taking the opportunity to get started on his Stocks and Shares ISA. It’s been a UK-heavy quarter for Steve W. But which of his stocks has Steve D also been buying since the end of March? The Green Party have an ambitious manifesto that is focused on investing heavily. And they’re not scared to borrow money to do it. Predictably, they have a lot on their minds to do with renewable energy and the climate. But what else is part of the Green Party’s plan for Britain if they – somehow – win the election? Top of Reform’s priorities is – unsurprisingly – immigration. The party has plans to spend heavily on the local and national services, cutting the foreign aid budget to fund it. The odds of Reform winning the election are very long indeed. But should investors pay attention to a quiet part of society that might make itself known when voting time comes?

  • Macro, Manifestoes & B&M Bargains

Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show! Steve and Steve have been mad busy this week. One of them has been staring at a pile of exam papers on Aesthetics, the other has been stuck doing his civic duty. Both are in to talk about the latest news, though. It’s been quite a week for the UK and we wouldn’t miss it for the world. The Labour Party’s manifesto is an interesting document. There’s lots to think about, but one question is how much of it they’re actually in a position to deliver on. Steve W has some strong views on a potential windfall tax on oil and gas companies, and Steve D is interested in housing. What else is on the cards if there’s a change of government on the way? Inflation in the UK hit 2% this week, but there’s plenty below the surface for investors to keep an eye on. Core inflation is still high and prices are still up a long way from where they were in 2020. Interest rates aren’t coming down yet. But that isn’t stopping the housing market, which is back to all time highs, despite prices going up below the rate of core inflation… The Liberal Democrats have a manifesto for this election and there’s a lot to like in it. It’s not just a watered-down version of Labour’s policy document, there’s plenty that makes a lot of sense. Does any of it matter, though? With the party trailing badly in the polls, is there any reason to vote for them given that their intentions do look strikingly similar to those of another party with better odds? It’s time for another look at B&M European Value. The FTSE 100 retailer is down 25% since Steve W thought it looked like decent value at the start of the year. The business is performing well, though. So could a rising dividend yield be an opportunity for a company with some of the lowest costs in the industry?
