Paul's back! What's he been doing? Find out on this week's PlayingFTSE Show! All the best things come in threes. We're back up to three on the podcast and Steve W's family is up to three. In Steve D's house, the animals are insisting that three is the optimum number too, as his cats are deciding there's only room for one of them. On the PlayingFTSE show, we like to keep things simple. So gaze in wonder as we proceed to take over an hour on a series of quick news items. First up it's NIO. There's been a short report on the business lately, alleging that the company has been inflating its revenues. None of us owns the stock, but it's an important story anyway. The Steves have been on the wrong end of a short report before, how would they handle it? Second is news from Pinterest. This is a stock that we've talked about a lot and Steve D owns. There's been a change at the top of the business – could this be a sign that they're getting ready to transition on to the next stage of their development? Steve D then squashes the rest of the quick news into the next five minutes and we get with the main content. ARK are loving Zoom Video Communications at the moment. They have a huge price target on the stock and a business model that sees it as a spawner. Paul's making the case for ARK's view on Zoom, but Steve W thinks that detaching the noise from the fundamentals paints an interesting picture of the stock. Zoom has replaced Tesla as the ARK lynchpin and Tesla has replaced a lot of its workers with nobody at all. Here's another stock that we're starting to see differently. Steve W is becoming more and more convinced by the business. Paul and Steve D are still nowhere close. Speaking of Steve W, we're finishing with Kellogg's. They're splitting their business into three parts – snacks, cereals, and plant-based foods. Steve's been looking closely at this and owns some Kellogg shares for his godson. Is this a good move? And does anyone else care?

Die Nervosität am deutschen Aktienmarkt bleibt hoch. Gestern rutschte der DAX nach drei guten Handelstagen in Folge deutlich ab. Die Vorgaben aus Übersee sind durchwachsen. Der DAX dürfte sich weiter nach unten orientieren.

Der deutsche Aktienmarkt hat drei gute Handelstage hinter sich. Damit könnte es heute allerdings vorbei sein. Der DAX wird im Minus erwartet. Die Vorgaben von der Wall Street und aus Asien sind durch die Bank schwach.

The previous week's rally in US government bond markets, that may have heralded a change in sentiment towards the Federal Reserve in its fight against inflation, was repeated around the world. British government bonds followed their US brethren upwards after the release of UK inflation data that showed a surprising decline in so-called core inflation, which excludes more volatile components such as food and fuel. Eurozone sovereign bonds then had their own rally after the release of business activity surveys for the Eurozone that indicated a sharp slowdown in growth and, therefore, in inflationary pressures.Stocks featured:Asos, Boohoo Group, Deutsche Bank, Li Auto, Nio, Tesla, XPeng and ZalandoTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

Chinese electric carmaker NIO's revised a statement it issued following the deaths of two test drivers which emphasised that the accident wasn't “related to the vehicle itself”. It followed an outcry on Weibo, the country's version of Twitter, after a car apparently crashed out of the third floor of the company's HQ in Shanghai. Some users said the statement was insensitive, while others said it pre-empted the conclusion of an investigation.Meanwhile, Toyota's recalling thousands of its electric cars over concerns the wheels might fall off.And a language app says it's been inundated with users from Ukraine as people in the country look to escape the war there.

Envisics is a UK-based technology company with deep expertise in holography. So, what are holograms? Those are the three dimensional images we see in sci-fi movies that originally appeared in the Star Wars series. Envisics projects informational holograms outside of the vehicle in the line of vision, about three feet in front of the driver's eyes. Think of it as a colorful head up display in three dimensions. The single biggest advantage of holography is safety. The driver does not need to look away toward the center stack screen where he or she might seek to secure information about navigation or speed. Instead holograms render objects in the line of sight, embedded into the road and its real surroundings.. Envisic's holograms are expected to appear on Cadillac Lyriqs in late 2022 ro 2023. Founder Jamieson Christmas earned a PhD at Cambridge and is convinced that his technology will win widespread adoption simply because it is safer and more intuitive than looking at those giant touch screens that now dominate many of our vehicles from Teslas to Lucids to F-150 Lightnings.#DrivingWithDunne / #ZozoGo https://twitter.com/Dunne_ZoZoGohttps://www.instagram.com/zo.zo.go/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dunne-a696901a/

Octillion Power Systems supplies lithium-ion battery systems to car, truck and bus makers worldwide. The company has delivered more than 650,000 electric vehicle batteries to automaker,, including to the wildly successful made-in-China Wuling Mini EV. Octillion's new offices in Richmond, California serve as headquarters for company operations in North and South America. Mr Paul Beach, President of Octillion, has been at the forefront of the battery business since the late 1990s. In this episode, Beach recounts how he witnessed massive investment in lithium ion batteries in Japan, then in Korea and most recently in China. As a result, North Asia accounts for more than 90% of global battery production today. But change is afoot. Tens of billions dollars of fresh investments are going into new battery plants in Europe and the United States. What do America and Europe need to do to close the gap with Asia? Who will be the eliminate winner on the global battery arms race? And what is the next great innovation in batteries? #DrivingWithDunne / #ZozoGo https://twitter.com/Dunne_ZoZoGohttps://www.instagram.com/zo.zo.go/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dunne-a696901a/

FOLLOW UP: EU ADVISOR APPROVES PURSUING DEFEAT DEVICE DAMAGES CLAIMSAn EU court advisor has stated that owners of vehicles fitted with defeat devices should be allowed to pursue damages. This is not a final ruling but very rarely do the judges not follow such advice. This case is against Mercedes-Benz. If this is ruled upon, it will be up to individual countries to calculate damages that align with loss and damages caused by such devices. For more, click the Automotive News story here. NEW CAR REGISTRATION FIGURES MAY 2022The weakest May, in three decades outside of 2020's lockdown situation, meant that there was a 20.6% drop in registrations.

HMRC NOT KEEPING PACE WITH ENERGY PRICE RISESHMRC has now brought in their new mileage rates, which company car drivers can claim, however they do not match the rise in energy prices.

He drove with purpose and intelligence to bring home a win for himself and Hyundai. Second was Criag Breen in the M-Sport Puma and Sordo rounding out the podium for Hyundai with another impressive drive. Championship leader Rovanperä was fifth, whilst Evans had a rally to forget, or is that a season to forget? For a review of the event, click the DirtFish article here.

AND FINALLY: US CAR SO BAD A DICTATOR SAID NOSaddam Hussein was so disappointed by the quality of specially-built 1981 Chevrolet Malibus, that he cancelled the second part of the deal with GM, meaning 12,500 cars did not end up in Iraq. How bad was US car quality at that time? Shockingly so, it would appear. Click here for The Drive article explaining how this all happened.

Nio månader har gått sedan talibanerna återtog makten i Afghanistan. Ett maktövertagande som kantades av panikartade flyktförsök, kaosartade evakueringar och stora farhågor. Talibanerna utlovade ett mer progressivt styre än för 20 år sedan, men en rad dekret visar på motsatsen. Samtidigt befinner sig landet i ekonomiskt förfall, arbetslösheten är omfattande och i början av året uppskattade FN att över halva befolkningen i Afghanistan hotas av svält. Hur har Afghanistan förändrats sedan talibanerna återtog makten? Hur lever landets kvinnor? Vad hände med de som försökte fly? Gäst: Anna Ek, Sverigechef på Svenska Afghanistankommittén Programledare: Ronja de Boer Kontakt: podcast@aftonbladet.se

US stocks fell Wednesday. Plus, Delta predicts sales return to 2019 levels, Nio says lockdowns delayed deliveries, and Ford's F-150 Lightning is a “power plant.”

GM's has ambitious plans when it comes to electric vehicles. CEO Mary Barra says the company will be selling 1 million EVs a year by 2026, surpassing Tesla. That projected 2026 number will include everything from the just-launched $100,000 all-electric Hummers to $60,000 Cadillacs to sub-$30,000 offerings co-developed with Honda. How likely is the 114 year-old company to achieve its lofty goals? Much depends on the success of the Ultium battery platform. "Before GM got too far down the road in EVs, it had to figure out how to turn a profit on EVs," says Car and Driver. So, at the heart of GM's strategy for leadership in EVs is a brand new battery architecture called the Ultium Platform. In this week's Driving With Dunne podcast I am joined by Tim Grewe, Director of Electrification at General Motors. Mr Grewe takes us inside the world of the Ultium platform to show how it is designed to give GM a decisive edge over the competition when it comes to costs, range, reliability and safety.#DrivingWithDunne / #ZozoGo https://twitter.com/Dunne_ZoZoGohttps://www.instagram.com/zo.zo.go/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dunne-a696901a/

Ford starts customer deliveries of the F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck - Ford announced that it started production of the electric pickup truck last month, and they have since made their way to dealerships across the US. Some were delivered to fleet customers, but now we learned that the automaker started deliveries to its retail customers as well.  - Ford quickly accumulated 200,000 reservations for the electric pickup and realized that the demand was much higher than anticipated. The company quickly ramped up its production and is now planning for an annual production rate of 150,000 units by the end of next year. This year, production is expected to be limited to about 40,000 units. - While this is not much compared to overall F-150 production, it is good to jump-start electric pickup trucks in the US. Next year, the Silverado Electric, Tesla Cybertruck, and more are expected to contribute to the electric pickup truck revolution in the US Original Source : Ford starts customer deliveries of the F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck - Electrek Tesla delivers Megapacks to new Bitcoin mining facility - Tesla has delivered four Megapacks to a giant new Bitcoin mining facility in Texas that is going to be the first to be powered by the automaker's solar and batteries. - Last month, the project was announced as a partnership between Tesla, Blockstream, and Jack Dorsey's Blocks (formerly Square). - The idea is to build a new 30 Petahashes per second open-source Bitcoin mining facility powered by a 3.8 MW solar farm and 12 MWh Megapack system provided by Tesla. - Tesla's involvement in the project is also interesting within the context of the company adopting the cryptocurrency in its own business. - Early in 2021, Tesla invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin. Shortly after, the automaker started accepting the cryptocurrency as payment on new vehicles. Original Source : Tesla delivers Megapacks to new Bitcoin mining facility - Electrek SAIC-GM-Wuling to assemble its mini EVs in Indonesia - SAIC-GM-Wuling is exporting its popular mini electric vehicles, but unlike other car companies that export vehicles directly, the company is shipping parts overseas and assembling the vehicles. - On May 24, SAIC-GM-Wuling exported its first batch of new energy vehicle (NEV) parts overseas on a rail liner, - SAIC-GM-Wuling is aiming for annual sales of 1 million NEVs by 2023, it said in early March. - As of April, total sales of SAIC-GM-Wuling's GSEV models topped 850,000 units, the company said today.
