Politicon - James Carville Explains Why Trump / Vance Suck

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxODNDhSD5g

He has little manners but tells it as it is.

"The first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins this election."

Remember this, Nikki Haley?

Europe’s Biggest Electric Car Battery Maker Mulls New Products as Demand Wanes

"The Polish manufacturing unit of LG Energy Solution Ltd already indicated that its sales revenue from the east European country would likely drop by around a third this year to 26.5 billion zloty ($6.7 billion)."

With that much spare capacity what hope is there for new factories here?

"NO President Trump voter/follower will EVER switch to Dems"

The voters that count are the swing voters in the few States that will decide the elections; having a younger woman will swing many, especially as Vance wants to ban all abortions as well as The Pill and thinks women should stay in abusive marriages.

Trump's campaign may have peaked too early and against the wrong opponent.

Maybe the ticker will become an even better indicator as it may only highlight the most important movers?

Time will tell [and I have plenty whilst my pinhead oats cook; pinhead oats and raspberries = plenty of movement].

'reported revenue for 1H 2024 is expected to be approximately €950,000'

'largely undrawn working capital facility of up to €2 million, subject to the Company's trade receivables balance.'

If the 'working capital facility' is 'subject to the Company's trade receivables balance' and turnover is so low then debtors are not likely to be high enough to draw much more of the facility.

TIMBER!

I am a fan of Brian Tyler Cohen; he nails it:

The plan was cooked up as a 'bait & switch' plan when Doris was in trouble for partying and then continued as a way to stop the drift of voters to Reform even when they knew if was 'bat5h!t crazy'.

I think what Bubblepoint has to say clearly interests others; why else would you want to comment on his posts?

As usual, ocelot is gaslighting on a share he has reverse ramped.

Pure quality...

She is a member of the Polish Confederation (Konfederacja) is a far-right political alliance in Poland. Perplexity has this to say:

Here are the key points about the party:

Formation and structure:

Founded in 2018 as a political coalition for the 2019 European Parliament election

Later expanded into a political party to circumvent the 8% vote threshold for coalitions in national elections

Consists of several right-wing groups, including New Hope (formerly KORWiN), National Movement, and Confederation of the Polish Crown

Political ideology:

Considered far-right and part of the radical right

Espouses right-wing populist rhetoric

Strongly opposes the European Union and immigration

Economically liberal, advocating for lower taxes

Socially conservative and promotes Polish nationalism

Electoral performance:

Won 11 seats in the Sejm (Polish parliament) in the 2019 election

Placed fourth in the 2019 European Parliament election with 4.55% of the vote

Their candidate, Krzysztof Bosak, placed fourth in the 2020 Polish presidential election

Key positions and rhetoric:

Anti-refugee and anti-Ukrainian sentiments

Opposition to abortion and LGBTQ+ rights

Skepticism towards COVID-19 vaccines

Controversial statements, including antisemitic rhetoric

Voter base:

Appeals to anti-mainstream voters and those dissatisfied with established parties

Attracts significant support from young voters, with about 20% of under-30 voters backing the party

Two-thirds of its voters are male, and over 60% live in smaller towns and rural areas

Recent developments:

Experienced internal splits due to pro-Russian stances of some members during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

Currently seen as a potential kingmaker in Polish politics

Some of its MEPs recently joined a new European Parliament group led by Germany's AfD, causing internal divisions

The Confederation has positioned itself as a more radical alternative to the already conservative ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, pushing Polish politics further to the right

I expect she is a friend of Putin and Farage...

This (from Bloomberg) is quite encouraging; reduced interest rates could have more of an impact than I was expecting:

'Also this morning, we learned that UK savers — according to Office for National Statistics data — packed away 11.1% of their “total resources” (basically, disposable income) in the first quarter of 2024. That’s on the high side — excluding a spike during the pandemic, the highest the savings ratio has been was 14% in the early 1990s, and the lowest was 3% in 1999.

So you’ve got an apparently healthy household balance sheet, but an apparent reluctance to spend. What’s going on? At a guess, I’d say two main things, and both are driven by higher interest rates.

Firstly, you’ve got a big incentive to save right now, because your cash in the bank is actually giving you a halfway decent “real” return (i.e. your interest rate minus inflation) for the first time in about a decade. Secondly, you also have a big incentive to save (or pay down debt) if you know your mortgage is about to reset at a much higher rate.

This “reluctance to consume” may mean that the initial Bank of England interest rate cut has more psychological significance than market significance. If people grow convinced that “real” interest rates have peaked, then they may reduce their savings habit accordingly. Another one to keep a close eye on in the meantime.'
