It was ever thus. Since Maggie anyway. We need someone considerably more radical than she ever was now, lol.

Anyway, what is stopping me from adding here, is that we have returned to the downward channel.

We could really do with breaking above it again soon IMO, or we could be on for a bit of a meaty leg down.

I am sitting tight for now with the investment ones, but would not be surprised if Midas touch MaryB proves right in her buy the dip call :) GLA.

The point is, the middle class do not have enough money to dig us out of this (entirely avoidable) hole that the political class has created.

Guess which country is likely to see the greatest net outflows of HNWI's in 2025?

We already lost a lot of those, and UHNWI's in 2024. And indeed for several years before that too. Albeit, it seems to be accelerating now.

These were your broadest shoulders. This is laffer curve in action, lol.

How about we go after the Covid fraudsters, rather than thinking about adding yet more tax onto those who have not yet left the UK?

Good luck with that :)

Meanwhile, keep an eye on the UK debt markets in the weeks and perhaps months ahead... GLA.

I would suggest that there is some cross-over in this case.

For example, both domestic and international investment appetite in our stock markets, current and future - but I take your point more generally. GLA.

I have heard quite a few different theories about the role that gold might have in the future.

Ultimately, I cannot get past the muse that as long as China and the other BRICs like the yellow metal (and have loaded up on it), then that might act as an impediment to anything like price discovery happening.

Because 'our' alliance will not wish to be so disadvantaged.

Plus DT is of course now seemingly on the crypto train. Anyone remember his original thoughts on that stuff? Lol.

In all the years I have been politically and economically aware, I have yet to see that socialist mantra actually deliver anything but failure and rising poverty.

Those with the broadest shoulders have already left the UK, or got their financial affairs sufficiently locked down, that the current clowns in government are not getting any more than they are willing to pay. And that number will reduce, as more and more choose to vote with their feet, or working routines etc.

Hence the diminishing returns they are already seeing - which will further diminish - in the likely event they continue to self harm come the Autumn Budget.

You are referring to the middle class. Not the broadest shoulders whatsoever.

But by all means, why don't you, and those who share such mistaken economic ideals, make some direct donations to HMRC? I would happily include the link if this site let me. But I am sure you can google it easily enough.

See how many people have done just that each year. Spoiler alert: It is not a big number.

Anyway, good luck with your unrealised gains here so far. Better hope they do not get taken from you to give to those with more narrow shoulders.

Anyone else wondering if the bond market is going to give this stop gap government another kicking before, or shortly after, the Autumn Budget?

Obviously, a collapse of said government before then would be preferable, but if this dream does not come true, then this nightmare almost certainly will, one would imagine.

Not sure if I like the look of the gold or silver charts right now, but that is transitory. GLA.

Depends on the time frame you are looking at I guess.

Avoid the five year chart, and definitely avoid the period where this left the penny zone, albeit quite briefly. Lol.

Well, we all hope the pudding tastes good when it arrives!

Unless the next update blows the doors off though, the jury will still be out on this BOD.

But benefit of the doubt until then. Just about, lol. GLA.

Presumably. Nice when one you had pretty much left in the bottom draw, pops up on the leader-board :)

Chart looking nice right now too, but take nothing for granted etc. GLA.

Why don't you share your own research? Especially any thoughts on vacuumlabs.

Any relation to the UK one as listed on companies house?

Mine was a TA flutter here (seemingly a dud, lol). Nothing more.

Which serves me right, at the time of print. But all fine, whatever the outcome with this punt.

I mean a listed tiddler that has kept shareholders in absolute darkness for months and months. Like here.

I would far rather see your 3p target, crober33.

If this one actually delivers an update that rewards current shareholders, then it might just about be the only time a listed tiddler ever has, to my knowledge anyway.

Another thing I would be thrilled to see. Tick tock!

It is indeed. Assuming they have achieved absolutely nothing of real value since the last update, it will be interesting to see them applying lip stick to this pig, in order to see if they can get another raise away.

Will be delighted to take this comment back if miracles happen and they actually demonstrate that they have been worth their salaries, and shareholder cash, all this time. Lol.

Strange how you feel negatively towards this name, yet seemingly still ultra bullish on Sealand?

Or have you changed your opinion on that one now?

Of this one and that name, I know which BOD looks less like lifestyle chancers, whatever the outcome in future.

Looks like Stupmy nailed this TA call. More or less, at the time of print.

I reckon a few people will take up some of the sellers' stock around the 3 quid level. I am one of them (subject to the obvious stuff).

No change of view on 4's down the line for me, but still not a priority either, at this point. GLA.

I assumed that was the reason.

The chart currently looks like another leg down is more likely than a break to the upside IMO, but only a few weeks to ex div, and we may see an orderly unwind just prior to then.

Not buying more in the 15's prior to ex div myself, but happy to hold in this range and see where we are later this year. Subject to the usual stuff. GLA.

Perhaps he is still unable to buy, likewise his fellow BODs?

Other than that, their job at this point is to continue aggressively reducing debt and improving EPS. Hopefully increasing revenue and profitability in the medium term too.

Not adding at this point, but have some buy order trigger points in place. GLA.

I am sorry Roger, but I do not believe you....for the following reason:

Your 29 Jul 2025 09:51 post is as clear as can be. Should anyone wish to look it up from your list of doom-laden comments.

Given the SP never went that low from 29th July to now, when did you buy at that price?

Or did you mistype on the 29th? Lol.

But if you were being honest, then you are sitting on a double right now I guess.

Given how fearful you are here, you must be terrified that your profit is going to vanish.

I welcome sensible bear posts, but yours are not that in my view. Especially when taking into account your posting history here.

GLA genuine holders.

I was somewhat puzzled with that comment too. From that poster anyway.

As I said on a different chat board the other day, why would they cut rates when inflation was still north of 2%?

As things stand, we are shaping up for another round of 'transitory' inflation as it is, lol.

I think the independence of the central banks is something that can be challenged though.

Cutting rates in 2020 for example was not the act of an independent vehicle, some might think.

Especially with the government great giveaways at that time. They should have increased interest rates.

And what about the 12 years prior of zero or near zero rates under MC? These people are a threat to capitalism itself.

But the markets play along with this facade, so I agree that they probably would in this scenario - as they did recently, when it was rumoured that DT was going to fire JP.

Then again, they are long overdue a sell off, so who knows?

Either way, no western politician seems willing to cut spending (including DT) so a melt up before a bust cannot be ruled out either. Play it as we see it.

As for S4, what fresh stuff awaits us today and over the weekend? No dull moments right now... GLA.
