Brexit was the first visible symptom that of the rise of the more insular, economically viable, semi-protectionist nation state is stirring to challenge the globalism mantra.The election of US President Trump reinforces the idea that the nation state, not globalism per se, is the key actor in its own economic destiny.Eurozone stalwarts Germany and France face seminal electoral tests on their globalism over national priorities this year.Since announced in 2103, Chinas Silk Road mega-project is looking more like a "me first" deal than a "we" global citizen action.The new Global Populism could produce mispricings in industry sectors heretofore considered sleepy in comparison with glamorous technology disruptors.

This topic has nagged me for some time. Two months ago when the Case-Shiller Home Price Index “made a new high” and after new highs again this week, I’ve been doing back of the envelope calculations based on my property portfolio to show how screwed tracking prices in property investments can be.I believe such coverage of property price performance is wholly misleading and misrepresents real returns for investors and home buyers.A  home and a home price  that was transacted even 10 years ago was a substantially different home to today’s home. A recognized stock price (not DRYS!)  over 10 years has a much better chance of reflecting price movements that correspond to positive and negative returns to the investor directly.The distortion in property prices comes from a slew of adjustments we need to make, and which can shave several percent off a value per year! I’ve used my own property transaction data to work out the adjustments that should be made. There are two main categories which need to be made (with many sub-categories).

Over the last decade the attitude towards cobots (collaborative robots) has changed from one of skepticism to enthusiasm. As the big players in the robotics industry such as Fanuc, Yaskawa, ABB and Kuka, begin exploring possibilities in earnest, the implications for manufacturing processes could be highly significant.We examine the likely impact on traditional robots, repetitive work, employment and other parts of the factory automation industry.
