An opinion piece disputes the notion that investment success is merely luck, citing a 2023 study by Esmail Farshi (Univ. of Tennessee) that finds evidence of “clustering of luck” in sports: “Periods of high luck tend to be followed by another event with high luck.” The author says these results challenge simple randomness and could matter for strategy and resource allocation. #investing #research #FiatNews
Industrial production in the Czech Republic rose 1.8% year‑on‑year in July, slightly above expectations, with the expansion led primarily by the automotive sector. July’s data show automotive output up 4.5% and plastics and rubber products rising 7.6%, while electronics, computers and the textile industry continued to lag. Despite ongoing trade tensions, the sector entered Q3 on a relatively optimistic footing.
New orders increased 6.6% YoY, but the strength is uneven across industries: domestic orders surged 13% while foreign orders grew just 2.9%. Machinery, metal‑structure manufacturing and some energy‑intensive sectors such as chemicals are showing gradual improvement.
Analyst Jan Bureš (8 Sept 2025) says the figures align with a view of a mild slowdown in growth dynamics in Q3–Q4 after a strong start to the year. "Industry should grow around 1.5% in Q3 and slightly accelerate to about 2% by year‑end," he noted. #CzechRepublic #industrialproduction #automotive #manufacturing #FiatNews
