Sunshine on my shoulders... ,

Good overview each week

Stumbled upon this while looking for podcasts by the U.S.-based brokerage firm Fidelity. Even as a U.S.-based lay investor, I enjoy the very quick but also comprehensive overviews - and the touch of (for me) international perspective is great. Thanks!

Excellent and always balanced

Excellent and always balanced, maybe a little too US focused
Thanks
