We talk Apple, Tesla, Primark, 'Start investing now' step-by-step guide and lots more

In our latest podcast, the Sharesify talk rock ‘n’ roll, Primark, change at the top of the Apple (AAPL) tree, plus incoming Tesla (TSLA) earnings. There’s also vaping, condoms, friends ‘with benefits’ [no, not that – ed], plus our new step by step guide to ‘Start investing now’, and more. James reveals how Gear4Music (G4M) has been blowing out the speakers and flags the long-mooted ‘Primark’ spin-off from AB Foods (ABF). Will both sides of the group make the FTSE 100, wonders Steve… yes, reckons James, so a demerger to keep your eyes on. Vape supplies firm hikes Surpreme (SUP) hikes guidance, while consumer goods giant Reckitt Benckiser (RKT) and footwear flop Shoes Zone (SHOE) make less encouraging noises. Products guy in at Apple There’ll be new man on stage at Apple events as Tim Cook readies to hand the CEO batten over to John Ternus, Steve explains… a shift from Cook’s ‘safe pair of operational hands’ to engineer and products guy Ternus. Ian explains what’s caught his eye at Personal Group (PGH), the workplace pensions tiddler, and flags small company warnings, including the ironically named Coral Products (CRU). He also highlights the Middle East war warning from housebuilder Crest Nicholson (CRST), which needs a bit of explaining.   Tesla earnings are incoming this evening (~9pm BST), but Steve reckons the big questions hanging over the AI-robots-EVs-‘Terrafab’ firm probably won’t get answered. Towards the end, Steve explains the thinking behind Sharesify’s new 10-part work-in-progress aimed at new investors, the ‘Start investing now’ series, with parts 1-3 available now.
