- Is It Unethical to Profit from Michael Jackson's Death?
- Michael Young submits: Ethical investing is, allegedly, the pursuit of socially responsible investors who favor corporate practices that promote environmental stewardship, consumer protection, human rights, and diversity.

- WPP Well Positioned for Bounce Back in Media Spending
- Michael Young submits: WPP WPPGY is most famous for its services within the advertising industry, but the group's reach stretches some way beyond explicit efforts to help its corporate clients relieve consumers of their hard earned cash.

- Cisco: Despite Difficult Year, I Smell Value
- Michael Young submits: Years ago it was relatively easy to understand Cisco’s CSCO core proposition, networking.

- AutoNation Will Survive the Demise of GM
- Michael Young submits: AutoNation AN is America's largest specialist automotive retailer. The very statement encourages readers unfamiliar with the company to jump to conclusions. Just weeks after the formal demise of GM (GMGMQ.PK) and Chrysler, hasty journalists need to be restrained from writing the retailer’s epitaph, exercising tired sound-bites about...

- 'Green Is Good' for Your Portfolio
- Michael Young submits: Gordon Gekko was almost right. But it’s not greed that is good when it comes to growing your portfolio value. It’s green, as the graph below highlights.

- Lloyd's Balance Sheet Looking Stronger
- Michael Young submits: When LloydsTSB LYG agreed to a merger with HBOS last September in a government led rescue, it was well documented that the combined entity with significant overlap in branch coverage would sooner or later cut costs and close branches.

- Bing: Google, Wave Goodbye to those Long Profits
- Michael Young submits: Google GOOG is a global phenomenon. It’s hard to think of another industry in which the sector leader has such a large proportion of market share. But, there is a big difference between having market share and controlling market share. After all, internet surfing consumers are literally...

- The U.K. Political and Economic Farce
- Michael Young submits: The UK economy is slowly recovering. The green shoots of consumer demand, stabilisation in house prices, a 3 month stock market rally, the banking sector back in profit and deals being agreed in a buoyant commodity sector are collectively more than adequate evidence. There is still much...

- Rio Tinto Saved by Rally in Commodity and Equity Prices
- Michael Young submits: Rio Tinto's RTP management have been busy this week. Unfortunately, they have been busy making the writer look like a fool.

- Barclays Bank Pays for Poor Choice of Partners
- Michael Young submits: Long-term holders of Barclays BCS shares, multi-year equity supporters of the international bank, have suffered this past year.

- Outlook Grim for the U.K. Economy
- Michael Young submits: Gordon Brown continues to compete for title of the unluckiest prime minister in modern British history.

- U.K. GDP Contraction: Darling, You've Got Your Sums Wrong
- Michael Young submits: I hate to sound like a husband, patronising the wife over the household finances, but Darling, you have got your sums wrong.
