See the answer

Not necessarily — profit fell even though sales rose. This is the kind of thing headlines skip, and the kind of thing you’ll learn to spot.

◔

Shares & index funds

What you actually own, what fees cost you, and why diversification matters.

▤

Read a company

Revenue vs. profit vs. cash — the three numbers people mix up most.

⚑

Spot the hype

Recognise pressure pitches and “guaranteed returns” before they cost you.
