Sunday Business round-up - 15/6/08

Politics has taken over the news agenda this week - even the fuel crisis is seen through a political lens. And yet the economic news is nothing short of grim - I have never known it like this in my 33 years. Very few sectors are unaffected, as can be seen from the selection of stories below:

Nuclear Fallout - British Energy wants too much money and the bidding war has fallen apart. Glad I sold this of my portfolio out a few weeks ago. Even in an oil crisis, we are still struggling to get Nuclear going!

Staglfation - A view on whether we can avoid this ...have the horses already bolted though?

Energy costs surge - On the theme of trying to keep inflation down, firms might get hit with 100% energy cost rises.

Housebuilding slump - Very few new homes started, despite the overall shortage of property.

Short Selling - All the rage this week is criticism of short-selling, here is a good article explaining it all.

Estate agent news - Not only are the agents in trouble but their omniscient private equity backers - perhaps some good news after all!!

RBS sale gets going - Angel trains finally sold and the rights issue complete. £16 billion banked to pay the sub-prime debts.

Barclay's Rights Issue off - The bandwagon has gone, perhaps more sovereign wealth involvement will be required?

BP on the run - The Russians are coming for their oil. Another share I am glad I ditched a couple of weeks ago.

There is no overall shortage of property, it's just that too many houses are vacant or second homes (up to one million) and there are far too many who 'overoccupy'.

Land Value Tax will sort that out once and for all.
