‘I’m optimistic about stocks in 2025’: Lee and the ICPublished on January 14, 2025

The duo reunite after the festive period for a conversation on how Lord Lee’s portfolio performed, why he feels optimistic about the next 12 months and how he’s invested a strong flow of dividends.

The pair discuss Christie Group plc, a stock Lord Lee suggests is “severely underrated”, his opinion on what to do with a company that’s down 50 per cent, and British big-names ITV (ITV), Aviva (AV) and Supermarket Income Reit (SUPR).

The episode rounds up in the typical style, updating listeners on new holdings or recent exits in Lord Lee’s portfolio.
