đź”’ Alec Hogg: Never a bad time for portfolio rebalancing

While shaving on Sunday morning, a Janis Ian song was looping in my brain. So after a quick “Siri, play Fly Too High” instruction to my watch, the 1979 classic began playing on my phone. Something quite normal in an Apple World. A convenience Cupertino fans take for granted. The ecosystem which the late Steve Jobs spoke of more than a decade ago is now an everyday reality. Whether or not you’re a citizen of Apple World, the piece below by the WSJ’s tech queen Joanna Stern explains its genius – and some downsides.

  • Another excellent article in The Wall Street Journal explains why rebalancing your portfolio is always a good idea – especially for retirees. Click here.

  • Chartbeat is the Rolls-Royce of online publishing data tools. Although expensive, its real time data is a must-have for any serious news operation and is used by most major online publishers. The graph above, taken from the latest Chartbeat subscriber newsletter, shows how stale the COVID story has become for news consumers. Which might explain unusually light coverage of the Fauci emails which needed a court action to be forced into the public domain. From our perspective, the BizNews community has been lapping up the Fauci-related stories published over the past few days.Here’s our most recent coverage:
    • Best read has been the powerful piece by outspoken SA cartoonist Jerm who says the emails answer many questions. Click here.
    • A Jerm-rebuttal by California-based Eduard Grebe who accuses BizNews of spreading “dangerous falsehoods”. Click here.
    • On the BPH, PANDA’s Nick Hudson weighed in on the Fauci emails holding nothing back (has he ever?). Click here.
    • Latest is a WSJ piece by respected science writer Nicholas Wade who says the emails support the Wuhan Lab leak theory. Click here.
  • Still with China, lest we forget there’s considerable antagonism between Beijing and the democracy-loving citizens it inherited with the takeover of Hong Kong. Over the weekend, thousands of Hongkongers defied heavy police presence to stage their annual Tiananmen Square massacre vigil. It is part of continued protests against Beijing’s crackdown on Hong Kong’s freedoms. Click here.
