Hi everyone,
In this week's Smart Investing, we take a look at meme stocks and how they differ from traditional stocks in the way they perform and why.
Senior Personal Finance Writer, Tony Kaye, also discusses a few ways to save for children's education and why having a plan is essential.
Lastly, we have included a piece by our Global Chief Economist, Joseph Davis, on why we're unlikely to enter a period of stagflation.
Regards, | | 
Robin Bowerman
