Giving a unique twist to an established product or service can often give a competitive advantage. That’s the thinking behind Toronto based film event Mise, which provides guests with an entire menu of dishes, inspired by meals eaten by the film characters themselves.

The company aims to give viewers an additional sensory aspect to their experience of films. The first event offered a four-course meal featuring dishes from the 1996 film Big Night, which follows the story of two Italian brothers running a falling restaurant in the USA.

As the characters on screen wash down a tomato consommé and antipasto sandwich, the audience gets to do the same. So far, Mise has created a menu for both Big Night and the Steve Martin film Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and more events are in the pipeline.

Is this an idea you could copy in your own location? Can you think of anything else that you could pair up with a film to make an enhanced experience for customers?

Food waste is big news at the moment. The amount of food going to landfill has been estimated to be as high as 40% and there’s general consensus that something needs to be done. Much of the waste seems to be down to over-zealous ‘sell-by’ dates, and one US grocery store and restaurant has been set up to tackle the problem.

The Daily Table offers grocery shopping and dining. Goods are kept on sale in the store for way beyond the usual sell-by dates and then used in the restaurant when it becomes clear that they are about to pass their best. The owners of the business believe that by using older stocks of fruit and vegetables which would otherwise be thrown away, they are able to provide healthy meals at prices which compete with the fast food chains.

This is an admirable idea. It provides low prices and environmental brownie points to its customers. Will it be a success? I don’t know, but it certainly hits the zeitgeist of the times, Perhaps a trend to keep an eye on and food for thought – how else might you profitably tackle the issue of food waste?

It’s Been A Good Month For…

Metal Detectorists – as one enthusiast has discovered a rare hoard of Bronze Age artefacts, which experts describe as “nationally significant”, in the Scottish Borders. Mariusz Stepien was searching a field near Peebles with friends when he found a bronze object buried half a metre (1ft 8in) underground.

Archaeologists spent 22 days investigating, building a shelter to protect the find from the elements. Mr Stepien and his friends camped out there. They uncovered a complete horse harness, preserved by the soil, and a sword dated to 1,000 to 900 BC. The Bronze Age in Britain ran from about 2,000BC to about 650BC. 

IT’S BEEN A BAD MONTH FOR …

City Centres- Almost half a trillion pounds could be wiped off the UK economy over the next four years if workers fail to return to offices. Flexible working plans that would see most staff never return to the office full-time.

Thousands of small businesses – from sandwich bars such as Pret a Manger, which is shedding 2,890 jobs, to pubs, newsagents, and dry cleaners – rely on urban centres being full of employees and professionals accustomed to spending freely during lunch breaks, on their journeys to and from work, and in the evening.

PS. I forgot to mention – we can only let 25 people in on this at the moment, so don’t hang around. 

When sustainable alternatives are widespread, affordable and just as good or better than the legacy option, then eco-consumption becomes less about the status of opting in and more about the shame of opting out. That’s why in 2020, millions of consumers will seek out products, services and experiences that help them alleviate rising eco-shame. It’s the evolution of eco-consumption as a status play.

Just take a look at three iconic eco-consumption moments. Way back in 2008 Tesla launched the Roadster, a $100,000 supercar. In 2016 Adidas partnered with Parlay for Oceans to produce a limited-edition line of sneakers made from recycled ocean plastic; only 50 pairs were made.

Also in 2016, NYC’s Momofuku Nishi becomes the first restaurant in the world to offer the Impossible Burger, which looks, cooks, smells, sizzles, and tastes like conventional ground beef but is made entirely from plants.

But what has been the story since then? Fast-forward to 2019, and Tesla’s Model 3 is a play for the mainstream driver, and now the third best-selling car in the UK. Adidas made 11 million pairs of ocean plastic sneakers in 2019. And Impossible Burger is available at over 7,000 Burger King outlets cross the US.

From high-end and rare to affordable and widespread: that’s the eco-consumption journey across the last few years. And when eco-alternatives go mainstream in this way, they’re no longer an exciting status currency.

The key implication? A shift in the moral calculus for consumers. Because when eco-alternatives are as available, affordable and effective as the legacy option, there’s no reason not to choose them.

Throw in Extinction Rebellion, the global Strike for Climate movement, and Greta, and you have a tipping point in awareness also fueling this crucial shift. Increasingly widespread shame at air travel – or flygskam in the original Swedish – is now set to diffuse across every B2C industry. It’s a shift with profound implications for consumerism, business, everyone.

I have spent some time during lockdown and its aftershock thinking about economic depressions, which we are once again feted to enter, just over ten years after the last Great Recession.

But there have been many myths around economic depressions. In fact, many simply signal a shift in economics.

The British depression of 1873-1896 caused real hardship. This was a result of the economic opening up of the prairies, the pampas and Australia to farming, combined with falling freight rates by land and sea, lowered the cost of food.

In 1870, Britain produced half the world’s coal. But by the mid-1920s, it produced barely a fifth as producers in both the New and Old worlds dug coal for a third of the British cost.

Distress among coal miners, agricultural workers and the landed gentry who had built their fortunes on coal and farming was palpable. Rural areas depopulated and emigration soared.

In the economy as a whole, however, nominal wages were at least stable and prices fell. And most of the economy in fact prospered.

The 1920s were a difficult time for the UK, especially for traditional industries such as iron and steel, shipbuilding and coal mining, exacerbated by austerity and competition.

But in 1931, Britain enjoyed a boom, driven by new industries like cars and aircraft building. Yet the popular narrative is that this was a period of unemployment and deprivation. In a period of structural economic change, the losers were again more visible than the winners.

In the early 1980s. Unemployment rose to three million. But while traditional industrial output fell, new services — which are still with us — expanded and thrived. But when all the data came in, it became clear that the recession was much less severe than predicted.

Output fell by less than 3% in 1980-1981 and grew strongly thereafter. There is now much gloom about a post-Covid British economy. It sure looks bad: businesses shutter up and job losses increase daily.

But maybe a shake-out and a technological leap forward is just what the economy needs. As in any recession, companies have to cut costs, improve efficiency and change their business practices. This does not mean that the economy as a whole may not benefit.

Online shopping is soaring, and a shift from consumption to savings and investment may improve stability. Employers have found that working from home raises productivity and many new business opportunities have opened up.

For now, there should be no need to worry about markets, the global economy, inflation or the euro. We must not fall prey to the doom and gloom narrative of another depression or recession.

This is simply a time of recalibration, brought on quicker by Covid. But whether Britain will over-perform, as it has done in past periods of structural change, or underperform with dire consequences, is far from clear and rests with the government.

“I want to cancel all my subscriptions”

Dear Streetwise Customer, 

Streetwise member Roger had been using Guy Cohen’s trading system for years …

But suddenly he wanted to cancel ALL of his subscriptions.

Why?

Well, take a look…

Yep, Roger had just made over £300,000 (c. $400,000 at the time) using Guy’s trading system …

SO MUCH money he simply wanted to stop trading and “enjoy a comfortable retirement.”

As Roger says in the email, “I am now approaching my mid 70s and the time has come to enjoy my money rather than spend time making more of it.”

I wholeheartedly agree with Roger … what’s the point in making money if you can’t enjoy it!

So, how about you? Have you made enough money to enjoy “a comfortable retirement” yet?

If not then I have good news for you …

I’ve persuaded Guy to hold an exclusive live training session for Streetwise members only.

During this short training he’ll walk you through the exact same 3-step system that made Roger $400,000 (by the way, he’s made even more since!).

And even show you how to automate it so you can profit in less than 30 minutes per day.

The training takes place at 8pm on Thursday. 

And it’s absolutely FREE.

Reserve your free spot now. 

Seriously … 

Why wouldn’t you want to discover how Roger made $400.000? 

Maybe you’ll even become Guy’s next protege and make that kind of money too! 

But, that can only happen if you attend. 

So reserve your spot now. 

Best wishes,

 John Harrison 

PS. 

By the way, hedge fund managers trading with tens of millions of dollars every day pay Guy amounts like $122,177 and $105,399 to use his systems … 

 And yet I’ve arranged for you to receive his personal training for FREE. 

So, what are you waiting for? 

Reserve your spot now.

A trust is a legal arrangement where assets such as cash, property or investments are given to someone to look after for the benefit of a third person, saving on tax in the process. Put savings in a trust for your children and it will not count towards your inheritance tax (IHT) bill.

This can protect assets from divorce or the bankruptcy of a beneficiary, and the trustees can control who benefits, what they benefit from, when they benefit and how the money is invested.

There is a catch, however. While these assets do not form part of the beneficiary’s estate for IHT purposes, the trust itself is liable to 20% IHT at inception if the amount invested exceeds the donor’s £325,000 “nil rate” band, and it may be liable to up to a further 6% on every 10th anniversary. This is can still better from an IHT perspective compared to if the assets were held outright by the individual, leading to IHT being payable on their death.

Use Investment Bonds 

Investment bonds are life insurance policies where you invest a lump sum in a variety of funds. Some run for a fixed period, others have no set term.

When you cash in such a bond, how much you get back depends on how well or badly the investment has performed. All gains and income earned within an investment bond are taxed at 20%, while withdrawals of up to 5% a year are allowed for up to 20 years without incurring an additional tax charge.

One tax-efficient device is to gift a bond to another taxpayer — such as a child or grandchild — before cashing it in, so the original policyholder can avoid paying income tax, as well as inheritance tax.

Alternatively, if the original policyholder is able to reduce their income in the tax year in which the bond is cashed in — perhaps by not taking a bonus from their company, or turning off income withdrawals from a pension for a year — then they may be able to withdraw money personally at the basic rather than the higher rate, known as “top-slicing”.

But beware some heavy charges with these products.

Streetwise Member Makes $400,000

Dear Streetwise Customer,

Streetwise member Roger Woodman tried making money from the financial markets for YEARS with little success.

In his own words…

“I bought many, many courses, spent thousands of pounds on webinars, books, systems … At the end of it, I worked out that I’d made precisely nothing.”

Maybe you can identify with how he felt?

Well, it all changed for Roger when I personally introduced him to my good friend and expert trader Guy Cohen …

In Roger’s own words … “Trading with just Guy’s system, I’ve made over $400,000.” 

That’s a pretty big difference … From “precisely nothing”, to over $400,000, right? 

And this success has enabled Roger to live the kind of retirement life he’s always dreamed of. For example, here he is pulling up into Guy’s driveway in his rather swish new car (Guy often meets with his students to help them) … 

 Better yet, with Guy’s system Roger has never been chained to his computer desk all day … 

He says, “It takes me about 30 minutes a day … remarkably little stress … very little drawdowns. If I have got drawdowns, they’re peanuts.” 

It’s no wonder he calls Guy’s trading system a “godsend”. 

And here’s the good news for you … 

I’ve persuaded Guy to hold an exclusive live training session for Streetwise members. 

During this short training he’ll walk you through the exact same 3-step system that made Roger $400,000. 

And even show you how to automate it so you can profit in less than 30 minutes per day. 

The training takes place at 8pm on Thursday. 

And it’s absolutely FREE.

Reserve your free spot now. 

Who knows … 

Maybe you’ll become Guy’s next protege and make nearly half a million dollars too! 

But that can only happen if you attend. 

Reserve your spot now. 

Best wishes,

 John Harrison 

PS. 

Of course, Roger isn’t the only person whose life has been transformed by Guy’s trading system.
