George Putnam III says most brokers and Wall Street analysts avoid turnaround situations because they have been burned by the stock on the way down. According to Putnam, most investors chase the same stocks which are followed by hundreds of highly trained analysts and so it is hard to outperform. So he advises investors to seek out unloved, down-and-out turnaround situations as when these stocks eventually do come back, they can soar as investors pile into them. «Our approach is simple. We avoid the „blue chips“ and „hot“ stocks that most investors are stampeding into. Instead, we search out companies that have had some problems and are temporarily out-of-favor, but are in the process of turning around. These stocks seem like laggards when we first identify them, but as the turnaround becomes more evident, Wall Street will jump into the stock and push the price up — often dramatically,» he wrote in his Turnaround Investment Letter.

President Donald Trump on Saturday attempted to turn the tables on his likely rival in November, President Joe Biden, arguing that the man whose election victory Trump tried to overturn is “the destroyer of American democracy." Trump's allegations about Biden, a Democrat, echo the ones that Biden has been making for years against his predecessor. As Trump has dominated the Republican presidential primary and talked about targeting his rivals and the news media if he wins the White House again, Biden has stepped up his own warnings, contending Trump is “ determined to destroy American democracy." On Saturday, Trump made his most explicit argument to date on why voters should instead see his rival as the bigger democratic threat.

But observers have warned that the headline-grabbing — but voluntary — pledges promoted by the UAE could distract from the more challenging work of negotiating a formal COP28 text at the climax of the two-week talks. As pressure builds during what is expected to be the hottest year on record, here are some major funding pledges and declarations announced so far at COP28. — Loss and damage - The first day of the talks saw the official launch of a «loss and damage» fund to help vulnerable countries cope with the increasingly costly and damaging impacts of climate disasters. Thursday's agreement came with pledges of $100 million each from the UAE and Germany, $109 million from France, $50 million from Britain, $25 million from Denmark and $17.5 million from the United States, the world's biggest oil and gas producer. The total committed so far is a little over $576 million, according to a tally by the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental advocacy group. That falls vastly short of the $100 billion a year that developing nations — which have historically been least responsible for greenhouse gas emissions — have said are needed to cover losses from natural disasters. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa told the summit that «we need to mobilise funding on a far greater scale». Campaigners said the US offering was woefully inadequate from the world's biggest historical polluter. Bineshi Albert of the Climate Justice Alliance called it «insulting». «It is a paltry, shameful amount of money that shows the US is completely uninterested in prioritising or being accountable to the climate impacts frontline communities are facing,» she said. — Food and farming - More than 130 countries have agreed to

United States led calls at UN climate talks Saturday for efforts to curb methane emissions but also pushed a deeply controversial drive to boost nuclear energy to curb global warming. With smoggy skies in Dubai highlighting the challenges facing the world, other pledges are expected at the COP28 conference, including stepping up the deployment of renewable energy. The use of nuclear power as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels is highly controversial as environmental groups are concerned about safety and the disposal of nuclear waste. But more than 20 nations ranging from the US to Ghana, Japan and several European countries said in a declaration that it plays a «key role» in the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by mid-century. They called for the tripling of nuclear energy capacity by 2050 from 2020 levels. «We are not making the argument to anybody that this is absolutely going to be a sweeping alternative to every other energy source,» US climate envoy John Kerry said at COP28. «But we know because (of) the science and the reality of facts… that you can't get to net zero 2050 without some nuclear,» he said. The other signatories include Britain, France, South Korea, Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates.
