Welcome to a Thursday edition of Unmade in which we phone it in ahead of the holidays.

I’ve got one more decent piece in me in 2022. And I’m saving that for Saturday’s final Best of the Week.

So what to do? Luckily I recently made a robot friend called ChatGPT. Yes, what follows really was written by AI, including the haiku at the end. I’m not sure professional copywriters have much to fear, but you be the judge.

Unmade Index: Flat as a pancake

After Tuesday’s dramatic plunge triggered by Domain’s profit warning, the Unmade Index stayed almost entirely flat yesterday, falling by just 0.01%.

Domain fell by another 1.16% taking the company’s share price to a two-year low.

The most notable move was The Market Herald which fell by 8.27% to the lowest price since before the company acquired Gumtree, Carsguide and Autotrader. The business once again has a market capitalisation below $100m. On Tuesday, founder Jag Sanger was ousted from TMH.
