As markets start 2022 with a big selloff, here’s what happened to the charts that matter most to the global economy.

Covid-19 vaccines have made huge profits for some (and less for others). Mike looks at what worked and what didn’t, and picks the best stocks in the sector.
Mike Taylor revisits the Aim market – London’s junior stockmarket. This time last year he picked five risky small-cap stocks. This week, he looks back at their performance over the last 12 months and picks four new stocks that he thinks could do very well this year.
