This week on The Curve Weekly, weāve got a very special guest: Lucy Blakiston from Shit You Should Care About is in the studio - and we LOVED HAVING HER. Together we dive into Rupert Murdochās real-life Succession drama, Lululemonās fall from athleisure grace, and the big one: Klarna finally hit the stock market. The giant IPOād on the NYSE at $40 a share, shot up to $57, and closed at $45.82 - a neat little 15% glow-up on day one. We break down what that actually means, why Klarna is still losing money (but less than before), and whether youād want it in your portfolio. Plus: Bowie bonds, activist investors, tube-strike survival stories, weddings that drain your bank account, and one very rogue hair intervention. Finance, but fun - and with Lucy in the mix, chaotic in the best way. š
