Why Gamestop shares have been going to the moon, whether amateur traders are fueling a stock market bubble, and 10 years of ISA returns

This week’s podcast explores how social media has led to a new wave of potentially inexperienced investors betting money on low quality businesses.

Reporting season has kicked off in the US and Dan talks through the results of two big beasts, Microsoft and Starbucks.

Tom Sieber, deputy editor of Shares, joins the show to look at the performance of markets in Asia and the UK, and the patterns emerging among FTSE 100 stocks.

It’s also the start of the ISA season with the tax year end coming up soon, so Laith looks at how cash ISAs and investment ISAs have performed over the last 10 years.

Presented by Shares’ Editor Dan Coatsworth and AJ Bell’s Financial Analyst Laith Khalaf
