Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

SOME reckon the revamped Trio Holdings could kick off the New Year with a bang, following its takeover of the Martin Bierbaum money-broking business. Trio is suspended after a placing and rights issue at 50p a share to fund the deal, but will start trading again in two weeks. The revamped group reckons it will have made at least pounds 6.5m for the year that ended in September. At the 50p rights price, the historic multiple would be only 8.6 times earnings and the dividend 8 per cent gross. When trading re-starts, the shares are likely to open at a handy premium. For 60p or less, they look well worth tucking away.
