'Inheritance tax was only scrapped on farmland in 1992'

https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/yes-farmers-have-been-stitched-up-but-not-by-inheritance-tax/

That the exemption has only been in place for 32 years has been omitted from the outrage reporting:

'Farmers kept Britain alive through world war two and centuries before without this – it was an experiment that was tried out to see if it helped family farms.

That question seems hard to answer in the affirmative. For anyone rich, farmland suddenly became an incredibly attractive asset, especially if they were older and looking to hand over as much of their wealth to the next generation, and not the taxman. The value of farmland soared over the decades since the introduction of the tax break – not because farming was suddenly more lucrative, but because farmland was a nice asset to own. '

"The West African nation’s rulers, struggling to finance a conflict against Islamist militants after their power grab saw aid largely frozen, may see the gold producer’s decision to pay up as a victory.

Existing and prospective investors in Mali are likely to have a different view."

As usual, ocelot gives the game away...

0.0255/0.12 = 0.2125

So anybody who bought and held after the euphoria a few months ago is sitting on a loss of just under 80%. Maybe some respect is due in a backhanded manner for him highlighting the painful spike some suffered, even if it was not his intention.

"there is green money out there hunting for appropriate investments"

That explains the massive premium that The Dear Leader has been able to do the placing at. Ocelot's insight is invaluable [even though some might say it is worthless].

How long will it take GST to do a placing?

The Dear Leader has most graciously allowed his Disciples another opportunity to average down. There are not many CEOs who are so considerate.

Did Trump ask Biden to authorise long range missiles to give him [Trump] the cover and provide leverage for Trump to force a deal, claim the 'respect' and earn his Nobel Peace Prize?

Times Radio: "Putin visibly ‘shocked’ by US green-light for long-range missiles to strike inside Russia"

Are you losing faith in The Dear Leader?

"Early suggestions of an 800-mile buffer zone, patrolled by UK and European troops, seem wide off the mark"

I doubt that Starmer thinks he has the mandate to send UK troops to patrol a buffer zone where they could be expected to stay for a decade or more and be at continual risk of being attacked by 'non-state actors'.

Trump Ally Floats 60% Duty on Latin American Goods Using Chinese Ports

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-11-18/supply-chain-latest-chinese-owned-ports-and-us-tariffs

"Goods from anywhere shipped through Chinese ports across Latin America would face the same 60% tariffs as those President-elect Donald Trump has promised on imports from the Asian trade powerhouse under a plan proposed over the weekend."

Sounds like [trade] war talk. 'Some U.S. military analysts worry that ports like Chancay could potentially serve as docking points for Chinese naval vessels.'
