What if the green energy boom and bust cycle has nothing to do with green energy at all? And what if the conditions that gave rise to an extraordinary boom in clean energy stocks in 2020 and 2021 are about to reappear in 2024? In this video with our inhouse energy expert James Allen, we dig into what’s really behind the rise and fall of green energy over the past four years. And why even the most dedicated sceptic needs to take a look at what might be the most undervalued sector in the market.

The Sunak government has announced the latest flinch away from net zero. New gas power plants are to be in the mix after all. But what does this mean for our future energy system? Who better to ask than our inhouse energy expert James Allen. In this video, our investment director John Butler quizzes James about the costs and benefits of more gas for the UK and for investors. And what does the latest surprise really mean about the government’s true energy intentions? Find out…

Find out what’s really going on in this week’s news in review, with Nigel Farage… https://fortuneandfreedom.com In this edition of Week in Review I sit down with my Southbank Investment Research colleague and tech guru Sam Volkering to analyse the most recent rally in “big tech” stocks and whether this trend can continue. Sam is confident that it can, and for a variety of reasons. I express some scepticism, in particular the lack of market breadth and growing signs that the US economic...

Find out what’s really going on in this week’s news in review, with Nigel Farage… https://fortuneandfreedom.com When it comes to inflation, who do you trust? The financial markets, or the Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey? It’s a trick question, because the financial markets are just trying to second guess what the Bank of England governor is going to do next, whether right or wrong. Will he cut interest rates as inflation and the economy turn south, as the markets are betting? Or...

Find out what’s really going on in this week’s news in review, with Nigel Farage… https://fortuneandfreedom.com The net zero dam has finally broken. It was struggling to hold back Europe’s farmers, German small businesses, unconnected wind and solar farms dotted across the UK’s countryside, unprofitable green energy companies and much of the Third World’s poor. But they’ve all finally had enough. And the politicians are responding. Especially across Europe, net zero policies are being...

Find out what’s really going on in this week’s news in review, with Nigel Farage… https://fortuneandfreedom.com The first time I met Nigel Farage, he kept talking about immigration. It was a bit awkward, to be honest. I’m more pro-immigration than Nigel – it’s probably our biggest difference of opinion. So, I decided to avoid the topic in Fortune & Freedom. I mean, there was a pandemic going on at the time – nobody could travel, let alone migrate… What happened next was a good reminder...

Find out what’s really going on in this week’s news in review, with Nigel Farage… https://fortuneandfreedom.com I’ve been warning about wind energy for years. But yesterday’s exposé from Bloomberg was a surprise to even Nigel Farage and I. You won’t believe what wind power producers have been up to, at your expense. And if Siemens Energy Chairman Joe Kaeser told The Telegraph, “Every transformation comes at a cost and every transformation is painful. And that’s something that the energy...

What connects these three global news stories? All around the world, the public is increasingly turning on net zero and attempts to cut emissions. In Germany, farmers even took to the streets to oppose the latest policies. Second, the failure of the green energy dream has become apparent, with power grid managers either turning to coal or asking users to cut energy demand in Alberta, Tennessee, Australia, the UK and Germany. And third, the boom in nuclear power and uranium, which is...

While governments around the world renew and expand their commitments to nuclear power at an ever-increasing pace, the UK government is busy making sure it has access to nuclear fuel as well. But will safe, affordable, clean and secure nuclear power come too late to save the politicians who have finally seen the light? Nigel Farage reckons that the misguided green policies of past years could trigger a political reckoning in 2024 to rival 2016…

As you’ll see in this week’s video, it’s a change of personnel. With Nigel still on his way out of the “jungle” and Nick on paternity leave, it was time to get a couple ring-ins to fill the void. Good news is that I (Sam) and John Butler never shy away from jumping on camera and discussing all things market-related. And this week, well, it’s a doozy! The US Federal Reserve has signalled that rate cuts are on the cards, and soon. If so, you can expect the Bank of England to be hot on their...

It’s been a busy week in politics and the financial markets. The immigration debate being the dominant story in a long list of countries around the world. Funnily enough, that’s just what Nigel Farage predicted when I first met him in 2020. We also talked about investing in gold, which is now back above $2,000. But why? How ironic that Nigel is off galivanting around the Australian jungle while his predictions are coming true. Should we vote him out to get him back where he belongs? Find...

Inflation statistics out of the UK and US both came in below expectations. But is that good news or bad? Consumers might be rejoicing that prices have slowed their ascent, but aren’t higher interest rates only adding to the cost-of-living pain? In China, a return to outright deflation is definitely bad news. But why, and could the consequences reach investors in the UK? The Germans have got themselves into a legal bind that only threatens to make their energy crisis even worse. A return to...

For the first time since the 1920s, the UK money supply is outright shrinking. When Nigel Farage was first starting out in the City, everyone was focused on it because central bankers made policy decisions around it. More recently, the focus has been elsewhere. But should it be when, historically, a shrinking money supply portends a deep recession ahead, not only in the UK but around the world? Germany and much of Europe are already in recession. And no economy is being helped by the...

The Covid inquiry is exposing just how scientific the science we were following really was, but does it matter anymore? Green energy stocks are in a meltdown. What’s gone wrong, and what does it mean for our future power supply? Speaking of energy, don’t mention the war… in Ukraine. What could possibly go wrong as our attention shifts to Israel? Find out the answers to all these questions and more from Nigel Farage…

After a recent plunge, Moderna, Pfizer and BioNTech share prices are falling back to where they were in the first half of 2020. (Strangely enough, AstraZeneca is doing ok…) What does this drop tell you about the Covid-19 vaccines? Next on the chopping block is Italy with its sovereign debt rating due for review by several rating agencies over the next four weeks. What could possibly go wrong if there’s a downgrade? We might look to 2008 for an answer, when the debt rating agencies caused a...

Find out what’s really happening with your money – join us at https://fortuneandfreedom.com The politicisation of our energy system is becoming quite a spectacle. A good reminder that the government makes a mess of any industry it gets involved in. But we have let it take over perhaps our most important one. The results you’d expect are popping up… The Guardian has revealed that the carbon offset market is “junk”. The government is getting lambasted for a decision to develop a massive oil...
