The Alphaville seasonal placeholder – Beragampengetahuan

Well, it’s that moment again — we’ve decided to give up working.

FTAV will be on pause next week as we undertake much-needed professional development training, so there’ll be no daily financial commentary here (unless things truly fall apart in the meantime and we’re forced to initiate RobinBot . . . will he take Elon’s bait?).

As the nights draw out and festive cheer fills our stony hearts, here’s FTAV’s customary end-of-year parish newsletter.

Overall, it appears to have been a successful year, with the correct number of days so far. There’s still time for things to go wrong though.

We’ve been pumping out effortful cycle-closing content over recent days, so check these out if you haven’t already:

— FTAV’s big fat chart quiz of the year
— A comprehensive round-up of all the 2024 investment outlook reports
— Person of interest 2023: the longlist
— Best of Further Reading 2023

Finance meme of the year will also be making an appearance when we get back, so consider yourselves warned, would-be memelords.

If you’re bored despite the plentiful content above and want to plunge back into the FTAV archive, this link will take you back to the page that (currently) marks the start of 2023 in our archives. Fill yer boots.

If you want to spend some money to help a cause, Alphaville’s Redbubble store can be found in the usual place (Redbubble). Yes, it’s probably too late to get something in time for Xmas, and no, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try.

We’ll be back in January. All that is left is to say thanks to you, the readers, for lending us your eyes, words, and often-required sub-editing skills this year.
