What’s Michael Burry buying? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

It’s a close-run thing in the stock market this week. At least, it is between Steve and Steve – the FTSE 100 and the S&P 500 are nowhere to be seen really…

MercadoLibre shares fell after strong revenue growth – and lower profits. The company is investing to strengthen its position, but is this a good thing?

Amazon, Shoppee, and Temu are all coming for the Brazilian e-commerce market. Steve D, however, isn’t really worried…

It’s been quite the year for SAAS stocks and Steve D has the good, the bad, and the ugly. The difference between them is quite striking.

We’ve had the right framework for thinking about these on the show – so far. But which name has been the runaway winner in Steve’s portfolio?

Uber shares went down – and then back up again – after earnings this week. The issue is a familiar one in the form of heavy spending and uncertain returns.

It’s not the only company looking to maintain its competitive position in a changing world. But is it going to turn out more like Rightmove, or Microsoft?

Progyny losing Amazon as a customer should have been a huge blow. But while it hasn’t been a good thing, the company has continued moving forward.

That’s hugely impressive. So why did the stock fall after this week’s earnings report?
