The Ideas Exchange

Published: 16-10-2025 12:00

This is the space to talk straight about what’s really moving money, minds, and the modern world. No filters, no “financial influencers,” no herd thinking, just insight, ideas, and intelligent debate and perhaps a little bit of trolling. Here we can dig into what’s happening in markets, the economy, AI, geopolitics, rare earths, or whatever corner of the system happens to be turning the gears this week.

You can challenge my views, test your own, or throw a wild card into the mix because that’s how new ideas are forged and how we roll. aNewFN isn’t about consensus; it’s about clarity. It’s where we try to decode the future of markets.

Whether you’re a trader, investor, builder, or simply curious about what’s next, this is the room where we connect. — from Wall Street to Westminster, from silicon to gold.

I’ll be here often — commenting, replying, and occasionally lighting the bue touch paper.

So pull up a chair, post your take, and let’s get into it.

Welcome!

Clem

    Have a look at Centrica (CNA UK) if you think the European Gas market is tightening, it is potentially starting a run.

    Centrica owns 69% of Spirit Energy and operates Rough through Centrica Energy Storage+. Rough is effectively a huge strategic gas-storage asset. Centrica has been pursuing a much larger redevelopment of Rough, potentially involving around £2bn of investment, because it sees the facility as strategically important to UK energy security.

    If Europe enters winter with tight storage and large winter/summer spreads, the value of flexible storage rises sharply.

    Pounds or USD? For equities both in LSE and NYSE, I don't see a way to differentiate dual listed with the same symbol once in a porfolio for example: $RIO and or $BAM. I don't see a data field for "Exchange" nor currency. Yes I do see a different description for the ADR, but no country, whereas LSE RIO does mention Issuer RIO TINTO PLC Country GB Market Cap £94.33bn. Perhaps this is an "enhancement request". The software is a very good and fast system. :)

    Clem, I've got my eye on $NKE.

    It's following a similar pattern to TTG.

      Certainly a classic contrarian. I'd want to see it base and break out of the down trend first.

    Uranium ore and generation? Is it a disfavored sector? Mid-Long term prospects in Western World markets and companies. I think it is a good idea, not sure of entry point. Why not now? But how?

    Hi Clem I am blown away by the free L2 data. I'm wondering, is precious metals also slated to be added to the L2 stream?
