Some economists argue that Liz Truss's actions hastened the unavoidable rise in interest rates, compelling the UK to face a harsh economic reality earlier than it might have otherwise. This perspective suggests two potential benefits:

The inevitable interest rate increases occurred more rapidly than they would have under different circumstances.

Truss lacked a strong electoral mandate for her economic policies, which led to her swift removal from office. This outcome may be seen as preferable to a scenario where she had won a general election and potentially implemented her policies for a longer period.

In essence, this view posits that while Truss's brief tenure was tumultuous, it may have inadvertently forced necessary economic adjustments to occur sooner rather than later, and her quick departure limited the potential long-term impact of her controversial economic approach.

Inventus Mining stands out as a speculative penny share worth a look as it has a prospect that could be 'Sudbury 2.0'

After posting about boosting the defence sector, I read this on FT: 'Britain and Germany have signed what they said was their most comprehensive defence co-operation agreement in decades, pledging to urgently reintegrate the UK’s defence industry into European supply chains after Brexit.'

Bombs are booooming?

And, expect Germany to start to pump it's defence sector as it will revitalise its Mittelstand.

Could be a messy Games...

This sounds like they plan on more placings:

'The Company is seeing a rise in new opportunities and accordingly, the Board emphasises the importance of maintaining available funds for both general working capital purposes and to capitalise on these investment prospects promptly.'

Sometimes these BODs like to pay themselves according to the value of the Fund they manage so they are incentivised to raise more and more [and more] regardless of the price they raise at. Even better if they can have international assets which means they have to travel [say to where relatives may coincidentally live in Australia etc].

I wonder how many hackers will read the article and think to themselves that a honeypot has been advertised... But may all be nonsense:

'How Venezuela’s election could upend the geopolitics of the Americas'

If Maduro’s government[Mad?] is toppled, there will be a rush of investment into the oil industry / infrastructure there, as well as a reversal of one of the biggest displacement crises in the world. It would a good news story for The Americas.

Accounts as expected but market does not like them - down 6%. I cashed out my small trading pot last week and paid for groceries for 2 months. Could be worse...

GST down 18% - market not convinced.

The researchers found that people who received the recombinant shingles vaccine had a significantly lower risk of developing dementia within 6 years of vaccination compared to those who received the live vaccine. Specifically, the recombinant vaccine was associated with a 17% increase in the time lived without a dementia diagnosis, which translates to 164 additional days lived without a dementia diagnosis among those who were affected.

Evi,

Sarcopenia is very, very bad and is a side effect if serious exercise and seriously thought ought nutritional intake is not done whilst on GLP-1 drugs. Seeing as the people using [abusing?] the class of drugs are often too lazy to diet or exercise, the risks of side effects are of serious concern.

I expect it will be a growing area of litigation in years to come.

'The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has today, 23 July 2024, approved a new indication for semaglutide (Wegovy) to reduce the risk of overweight and obese adults suffering serious heart problems or strokes.'

I would rather not have a serious heart problem; it is not just available to help people get summer slim, ready for the beach.
