I have only just got round to reading the chairman’s Christmas present to me. It is a book, Money for Nothing: The Invention of Modern Capitalism. It is quite fascinating and starts with a review of the truly brilliant men of the age, starting with Sir Isaac Newton who was to go on and blow his entire wealth in the scam.
What is interesting is that it was an age of hope covering entirely fresh ground which offered a basis for getting involved in stocks.
No such excuse is available to supporters of Gamestop (NYSE:GME) and American Cinemas (NYSE:AMC)whose valuations have been and continue to be determined by total madness.

I think that right-thinking people have missed the point over Ollie Robinson. Obviously, he should be spending six months in the Tower along with the other members of the team who have not yet proved that they never said anything silly when they were teenagers. Indeed, given the same review of the NZ team would almost certainly yield a significant number of yet more prisoners, it would probably be best to cancel the Second Test.
Finally, the ECB should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute through having failed to see all this months ago.
