Peak Speculation Boring big-caps are where it s at, and SPACs, electric vehicles and the like are not. Let s see what s going on. Stocks quotes in this article: BLNK, XLP
Let me begin by noting something I have noted here before, but probably bears repeating: I think the speculative stocks have peaked. I think what we saw back in January and February was the sort of action that was highly speculative and unsustainable.
That doesn t mean we can t see speculation elsewhere. It doesn t mean we won t see pockets of action similar to that again. But three months ago we saw what I might term a speculative top. We saw SPACs so may special purpose acquisition companies become the flavor of the day. Are there really that many great deals out there that we needed hundreds of SPACs?
In line with International Women’s Day 2021, the team at
Human Resources Online has put together a series of 22 stories under two distinct concepts with the overarching theme of
#ChooseToChallenge to inspire organisations and leaders to push for a gender-equal society, by showcasing what their peers are doing in this area.
For the first concept, we recognise that as guardians of employee wellbeing and a key stakeholder in company policy creation, HR leaders are in a unique position to challenge stereotypes, fight bias and inequity in the workplaces to bring about positive change.
In that line, we seek to highlight key HR interventions that promote gender equity, seek out and celebrate women s achievements, and create an inclusive workplace; by asking more than 60 HR leaders to share their organisation s call-to-action in shaping a workforce that celebrates gender equity.
