It's the "Weekend" Podcast, I say that lightly as there hasn't been one since October 2023! Anyway we talk about fund fees, the 6 Nations and why the two reasons Private Investors lose money.

Paddy asks the question: I need to renew my mortgage, should I get a 1 year fixed mortgage or a 2 year fixed?“UK inflation is set to drop markedly for October amid continued efforts to tackle the higher cost of living, the governor of the Bank of England has said.Andrew Bailey indicated inflation will return to its recent pattern of slowdowns after the Office for National Statistics (ONS) recorded a surprise pause last month, leaving inflation at 6.7 per cent in September.The Bank of England previously forecast that Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation would hit 4.9 per cent by the end of the year.Inflation is expected to fall significantly this month due to a comparison against sharp energy price increases seen over the same month last year.”INTEREST RATE WISE - WHERE DO YOU THINK WE ARE IN REGARDS TO THE AVERAGE? Interest Rate in the United Kingdom averaged 7.11 percent from 1971 until 2023, reaching an all time high of 17.00 percent in November of 1979 and a record low of 0.10 percent in March of 2020.Companies talked about:Destiny Pharma #DESTSilver Bullet Data Services #SBDSGood Energy #GOODGetec #GTC Polarean Imaging #POLX

We are seeing, I believe, the start…. of the end…. of the bear market. Bear = 20% below highs Bull = 20% above lows Inflation figures this week…. Inflation / CPI year on year to June Actual = 7.9% Forecast = 8.2% Previous = 8.7% Even Core CPI (YoY) (Jun) which BoE pay attention to is below forecasts... Actual = 6.9% Forecast = 7.1% Previous = 7.1% The Producer Price Index (PPI) Input (YoY) (Jun) Actual = -2.7% Forecast = -1.6% Previous = 0.4% If input costs fall, some of the decline will be enjoyed as wider profit margins by the producer and some will be passed on to the consumer in the form of lower prices. This eventually feeds into CPI I think the bottom is behind us.

Some notes on Good Energy #GOOD VALUATION SUMMARY Market Capitalisation = £29m Net Cash = £19m Enterprise Value = £10m Net Asset Value = £38m WHAT DO THEY DO? Good Energy is a supplier of 100% renewable power and an innovator in energy services. It has long term power purchase agreements with a community of 1,700 independent UK generators who are independent businesses, non profits and local communities, spread all over Britain.  Since it was founded 20 years ago, the Company has been at the forefront of the charge towards a cleaner, distributed energy system. Its mission is to power a cleaner, greener world and make it simple to generate, share, store, use and travel by clean power. Its ambition is to support one million homes and businesses to cut carbon from their energy and transport used by 2025. Good Energy is recognised as a leader in this market, through green kite accreditation with the London Stock Exchange, Which? Eco Provider status and Gold Standard Uswitch Green Tariff Accreditation for all tariffs. THE CEO In April 2021 Nigel Pocklington was announced as the successor to Juliet Davenport the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Good Energy. This transition is part of the continuing evolution of Good Energy from its roots as a simple green energy provider to a newer world green energy services and 'mobility as a service' provider. Nigel most recently served as Chief Commercial Officer of Moneysupermarket.com Group plc. Prior to this, he held a variety of senior roles within Expedia Inc., including President of eBookers and Chief Marketing Officer of Hotels.com. He spent a decade of his early career at Pearson plc, including a period leading the digital operations of the Financial Times. A DEEPER DIVE INTO THE COMPANY Good Energy have 2 different parts to the business. They supply Renewable energy to domestics & business customers: On 20 January 2022 they announced the disposal of its 47.5MW generation portfolio to Bluefield Solar Income Fund for a total consideration of up to £24.5m. This generation portfolio of two wind farms & six solar farms supplied 15% of their customers. They now have long term power purchase agreements with a community of 1,700 independent UK generators that supply their 277,000 customers. This sale of their generation portfolio was part of their strategy to transition to a higher margin energy services provider. Energy Services, this includes Solar Installation & generation, Heat Pumps & Transport Through acquisitions they now have a business that can install solar panels, heat pumps and manage customers generation. They are the second-largest feed-in-tariff operator in the UK, and has one of the highest profitability/customer in the industry. Transport: They also own 49.9% of Zap-Map, the UK’s No.1 EV charging map iOS/Android app. It allows users to search for EV charging points, plan journeys and pay for charging. It has 600,000 customers and recently raised £9m, £5.3m was from from Fleetcor, (NYSE: FLT) is a leading global business payments company that helps businesses spend less by providing innovative solutions that enable and control expense-related purchasing and payment processes. FORECASTS Year Revenue Net profit 2023E £267m £1.75m 2024E £258m £4.55m The net margin is therefore expected to increase from 0.6% in 2023 to 1.7% in 2024, which is more than doubling. They had £38m gross cash at the end of May, which is considerably larger than its market cap. Good Energy rejected a 400p hostile bid in 2021. Canaccord, their brokers, have a target of 475p, current sp 174p. Canaccord: “At our unchanged 475p target, which continues to be based on a sum of-parts, the stock would trade at 13x/8x 2024/25E P/E, and still with a substantial net cash position. We remain Buyers” MY OPINION Good Energy are the original renewable energy company have loyal customers who are of the same ethos, which is to champion green energy decentralisation. As a company they are profitable, pay a dividend and have a big chunk of cash, around £20m. Some of this will be used to acquire complimentary businesses to enable them to expand further into the green energy, higher margin, services sector. This is a sector that is growing and will continue to grow for decades backed by global regulation to cut carbon emissions. Their revenue generation of £240m+ pa means even a slight improvement in margins, which will happen as they transition from energy supplier to energy service provider, could see a major positive re-rating on their valuation.

People are bearish… why? Because of all the economic data out there, it’s not good. Yes but the reality is the markets have priced a heck of a lot of this in. It’s been falling for 18 months. Now with this in mind, the fact the markets have been pricing this in advance - when do you think the markets will start pricing better economic data in advance?

How much money do you need a year to do the things you want to do? If you had a million pound and had it in a high yielding dividend fund, let’s say it would pay you 5%, you’d get £50k per year. From the age of 20, you would have to put £500 a month aside and assuming you can earn 5% interest a year, you’d have £1m by the age of 65. That’s a lot isn’t it? I don’t think many 20 year olds can afford to put £500 a month away. So how can you hit that £1m egg nest by the time you’re 65? Firstly you need to buy a house - as you can leverage your investment. You can put 10% down on a property and get an average return of 5% - 10% Then you put any savings in a low cost well diversified fund. Then with the remainder you try to double, treble or ten bag your money with small, micro or nano caps. How much money do you allocate to this? Depends on your age. Take your age and add half. This should be your portfolio’s exposure to a well diversified low cost fund. The rest you dabble on wealth creators - these are high risk / reward stocks - that could potentially top up your retirement fund. So how much should you have allocated to a low cost diversified fund? 40 + 20 = 60% 50 + 25 = 75% 60 + 30 = 90%
