The charts that matter: the unshakeable market

John Stepek looks how developments in the political sphere this week have affected that charts that matter most to the global economy.

Welcome back. I'm just on the train heading back from a talk I gave at Mello 2019, an event for private investors it was good fun, great to see lots of MoneyWeek readers there, and I enjoyed getting the chance to talk about some of the key lessons that I believe are most important for contrarian investors (or sceptical investors as I call them) to bear in mind when investing.

On that front we're having some exciting conversations behind the scenes here at MoneyWeek Towers look out for an announcement any day now. All I will say for now is keep 22 November free.

John Stepek is a senior reporter at Bloomberg News and a former editor of MoneyWeek magazine. He graduated from Strathclyde University with a degree in psychology in 1996 and has always been fascinated by the gap between the way the market works in theory and the way it works in practice, and by how our deep-rooted instincts work against our best interests as investors.

He started out in journalism by writing articles about the specific business challenges facing family firms. In 2003, he took a job on the finance desk of Teletext, where he spent two years covering the markets and breaking financial news.

His work has been published in Families in Business, Shares magazine, Spear's Magazine, The Sunday Times, and The Spectator among others. He has also appeared as an expert commentator on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, BBC Radio Scotland, Newsnight, Daily Politics and Bloomberg. His first book, on contrarian investing, The Sceptical Investor, was released in March 2019. You can follow John on Twitter at @john_stepek.
