[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I hold some fairly forthright views on the US stock market, as it stands. The S&P 500 index seems overvalued, being in the top 1% or 2% of historic valuation measures. The last time I worried this much about a stock-market crash was during the dotcom bubble that burst in 2000. Then again, not all US shares are wildly overvalued and I see some — notably Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) stock — as under-priced.

[ad_1] We congratulate the NSW Government for establishing the Great Koala National Park, which will protect a nationally significant koala population. We also acknowledge the government’s moratorium on logging in ~175 000 hectares of state forest that will be added to the network of national parks in NSW. This area contains high-quality koala habitat, old-growth forest critical for many threatened and endangered species, and provides vital connection between forest habitats in the region. However, as they say: “Every silver lining has its cloud”. In this case, the government has stated that establishment the Great Koala National Park is conditional. Documents…

In 2017, the court issued a ruling in this case, recognizing the Ogiek as an Indigenous people with rights to their ancestral lands, and…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images FTSE 250 household appliance and electricals retailer AO World (LSE: AO) has soared since 15 September. I am not surprised at all, as this saw the release of its eye-catching H1 fiscal year 2025/26 trading update. Two elements were particularly noteworthy in my view, and evidently that of other investors.

These are expected to rise by 11% year on year for fiscal year 2025/26. Total…
