A Win by a Whisker: Luck or Skill?
The FTSE 100 managed a measly 0.02% gain. A win is a win I suppose. Even the smallest light can pierce the deepest darkness... or in this case a stagnant market. Thirteen consecutive positive sessions? Sounds like someone's been tampering with the algorithms. I'll be watching just like I watched Harvey Dent's downfall. Some victories are just the beginning of a bigger problem.
Bank Troubles: Can't Trust Anyone Not Even Lloyds
Lloyds dipped 2.3% after a near 7% profit decline. You see Alfred even banks aren't immune to the chaos. 'Everything burns!' as Alfred Pennyworth once said. Higher costs are the bane of every operation even mine. I need to upgrade the Batmobile's fuel efficiency; those nightly patrols are getting expensive.
Pharma Wars: Obesity Drugs and Shadowy Deals
Novo Nordisk jumped 2% after CVS Health decided to favor their weight loss drug Wegovy. Always follow the money Alfred. Someone's getting richer and it might not be who you think. Makes you wonder what side effects they aren't telling us about. Another reason why trust must be earned never given.
European Resilience: Holding the Line?
Despite the U.S. economy contracting Europe's Stoxx 600 stayed green. They think they're safe over there but chaos is a universal constant. 'You have nothing nothing to threaten me with!' Some may say that money is strength but a strong economy can crumble easily with the right pressure applied. The U.S. sneezes and Europe catches a cold. This could be our chance...
Tariffs and Uncertainty: The Joker's Economic Plan?
European companies are warning of price rises and uncertainty due to tariffs. Sounds like a plan the Joker would concoct. Creates chaos disrupts the flow and everyone suffers. Time to find out who's pulling the strings and expose them to the light… or the Batarang.
Defensive Plays: Hunkering Down in the Batcave
HSBC suggests playing defense avoiding small caps and consumer cyclicals and moving toward staples healthcare and utilities. Smart. Like reinforcing the Batcave's armor plating. When the storm hits you need to protect what matters most. Especially when dealing with unknown threats. Prepare for the worst hope for the best. Always.

These companies are just robbing us blind.
