It takes good grace to play the second fiddle well

[Chris Bailey @Financial_Orbit]

Forty years since the performance by Talk Talk which inspired the Live at Montreux 1986 DVD.

On 11th July 1986, Talk Talk performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival as part of a tour after the publication of their The Colour of Spring album.

That moment when you realise the global quarterly corporate earnings season is just about to start

"Now the fun is over
Where do words begin?"

[Earnings Whispers @eWhispers]

Should be the theme music for the upcoming football World Cup..

"Fans! ! ! "remember, you are abroad!
Remember the police are rough!
Remember the unemployed!
Remember my expense account!
Hot dogs and seat for mr. hogg !!
Hot dogs and seat for mr. hogg!!!"

Got to smile.

"Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary"

What happened to Twitter?

[Chris Bailey @Financial_Orbit]

Today is Ascension Day.

It is also the name of the second song on Talk Talk's finale album Laughing Stock. Have heard many mention track three as their personal favourite. My view? I evolve between one of the first three songs, so easier to listen to all!

15 years ago today!

Absolute classic - and always my biggest fear that I would do something similar when I joined Twitter a couple of years later.

[Chris Bailey @Financial_Orbit]

Always a perfect song for today

I never tire of listening to 'The Colour of Spring' album by Talk Talk. The fourth song on the only eight song album, feels like it was written on a cool pre-Easter 1985 morning of possibilities beyond a natural awakening

Finally, I finished it! Correctly dedicated to 'Everybody who helped out in the few months after 11.30 a.m. on Thursday 19 November 2020', but apart from brain bleed chat, inevitably there are plenty of investment thoughts, along with some philosophy 🙂 https://t.co/0pao4i46rd

Happy New Year and best wishes for 2026.

"And yet I'll gaze
The colour of spring
Immerse in that one moment
Left in love with everything
Soar the bridges
That I burnt before
One song among us all"

Happy New Year & best wishes for a successful 2026. As always, the glass should always be viewed as being half full.

"Don't forget
Don't forget
You expected Aristotle Onassis
But instead you got
Mister James Fennings from Prestwich, in Cumbria, down!"

Will share a few global investment thoughts on full year 2026 this coming Sunday...

[Chris Bailey @Financial_Orbit]

Merry Christmas Everyone!

[Chris Bailey @Financial_Orbit]

It has got to that moment on Christmas Eve when it is time to wish everybody a Merry Christmas, turn off the computer, and remember that #DieHardIsAChristmasMovie

(and if you need to remember why it is such a brilliant film then watch...)

Sometimes it is good to be different

[Barchart @Barchart]

Actively Managed Equity Funds are on track for an outflow of $605 Billion this year, the largest in history

[Chris Bailey @Financial_Orbit]

Something for all multi-asset global investors to be thinking about when considering their asset allocation decisions for the rest of this decade (and beyond).

[Trading Floor Audio @TradeFloorAudio]

Global Bond Yields Hit 16-Year High on Fading Rate-Cut Bets ... BBG

Bond investors are now mulling the outlook for global growth, examining inflation risks amid President Donald Trump’s trade war and surging government debt from Tokyo to London

Excellent reminder of active / individual stock opportunities (even when many are so focused on the world of AI and related)

[HORAN Wealth @HORANWealthLLC]

Dogs of the Dow Continue Outperforming Broader Market

I expect any current cash allocation in my personal pension fund to be lower by the end of the week. Specific choice of equity/real asset choices always matters, so don't expect it to be any of the current largest cap global names or passive allocations. Keep thinking/good luck

[Chris Bailey @Financial_Orbit]

Yes, a busy global corporate earnings season awaits. The key as always are the comments and insights, not a simplistic beat/miss call.

Bring on the insights!

(And then add the macro, political, tariff, and central bank insights too)

[Wall Street Horizon @WallStHorizon]

Busy week of earnings ahead with 2,400+ companies set to report, along with 5 of the #mag7: $AAPL, $AMZN, $GOOGL, $META, $MSFT. As we head into the peak weeks of the Q3 season, what companies do you have your eye on?
