    • Geopolitical shifts and economic manias often coincideGeopolitical rises can lead to unsustainable asset price inflation, potentially causing severe consequences

      Geopolitical shifts and economic manias often coincide, with countries on the rise experiencing speculative bubbles. This was evident in America during the late 1800s and 1920s, when the country was emerging as a dominant global power, and in Japan during the late 1980s, as it was seen as a rising economic force. These manias, driven by a sense of hubris and the desire to emulate successful nations, can lead to unsustainable asset price inflation. However, the consequences of these bubbles can be severe, as was the case in Japan in the late 1980s and the United States in 1929. It's important to recognize the potential dangers of this cycle and be cautious in our pursuit of emulating the success of other nations.

    What will the UK election mean for your money?

    Regardless of which political party wins the UK general election on July 4, voters fear they will have to pay more taxes. Taxes are the crucial battleground in the run-up to polling day, and experts question whether manifesto pledges can be delivered without raising them. What aspects of our personal finances could be affected - and could a change of leadership potentially be beneficial for investors in UK stocks? In this episode, host Claer Barrett discusses what could happen next with Miranda Green, the FT’s deputy opinion editor; Nimesh Shah, chief executive of advisory firm Blick Rothenberg and Moira O’Neill, an FT investing columnist. Clips: LBC, Labour Party

    The Five Minute Investor from Money Clinic: What is a PE ratio?

In the latest episode of our Five Minute Investor miniseries, FT consumer editor Claer Barrett challenges FT investment columnist Stuart Kirk to break down the ‘price’ and ‘earnings’ parts of the equation, and elucidate on other ways the PE ratio is used by investors to benchmark the relative value of different shares and other assets in their portfolio.

    The Five-Minute Investor from Money Clinic: What’s a bull market?
