Rachel Reeves Slaps 22% tax inside ISA cash accounts.

This should turbo charge shares, which is a long time overdue. Just get rid of EPL and Milliband, and Labour can redeem itself.

You mean like Micron. That is a classic Hockey stick move

Right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella has narrowly won Colombia's presidential election, an initial vote count shows, marking a dramatic shift in how the government will tackle the country's internal armed conflict and violence.

De la Espriella, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, has pledged a military crackdown on illegal armed groups, drug trafficking and crime.

He appeared to defeat left-wing Iván Cepeda, a close ally of the president, Gustavo Petro.

De la Espriella said "today begins a new stage for our country, a stage built on the free and democratic will of millions of citizens who chose to believe in a great, safe, prosperous Colombia full of opportunities".

" worry over cat videos " Adults... playing games and subbing to OF. Its the life. Last week there were long queues outside the Lego shop. Today... Long queues outside Sports Direct and TJ Jones... new pokemon card set out!

We'll know if some big Oilers will make their move on AXL after the election. They will probably show their hand. The big trades are the chess pieces being moved into position IMO.

Pro business ​Abelardo de la Espriella edges out ahead slightly according to AI, but to be honest in my opinion these are just formalities, but I guess the market wants certainty as always.

Newton famously lost his life savings in the South Sea Bubble in 1720, proving he could map planetary motion but not the non-linear "madness" of human economic systems.

SpaceX isn't just a rocket company—it’s the modern structural equivalent of the East India Company, utilizing vertical integration to scale an infrastructure monopoly that dictates global telecom and logistics.

That is the macro-systems thesis for holding **SSIT**. We aren't trading short-term noise; we are positioned at the ground floor of a massive, state-subsidized frontier network where long-term returns become a structural certainty.

Space X smashed $200. Space X should take a breather here. This gives SSIT a chance to catch us. This is the messy nervous-9s area here at 190p. This should surpass 200p by the end of the week IMO.

You know when they IPOed Space X they decided that $135 was the optimal psychological price. That leaves a lot of runway to similar priced stocks in their 200s, 300s, 400s. Like Tesla, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Nvidia etc. Retail doesnt know or care about Market cap or P/E. Number go up buy, number go down sell. Tik Tik says Yolo, Fomo. Let's go 🚀🚀🚀. It wasnt that long ago that a institutional fund offloaded Filtronic at £1. They regret that now. These arent normal times.

Everyman for himself!

They believed that the Space X IPO would be sell on the news. They will be buying back in, because Space X will smash $200 a share this week. IMO.

"The piece of paper which I hold here bears the name of Herr H***** on it as well as mine... "

Neville Chamberlain, September 30, 1938,

And also Goldman are knocking down oil today, how convenient, who are the leads of the Space X IPO.

Let Space X have it's day in the sunshine

Its convenient to knock oil down a bit for one of the biggest IPOs in history in a few hours --- Space X. Trump will want this to go well on his watch. It'll be like queuing outside the shop for the new iphone or Pokémon tomorrow. The frenzy for a quick flip will be all over the media.

.... we are in the final, final, final, but very final stages of a peace deal between the US and Iran.

TMI Wind-Down: A Major Opportunity Missed Due to the March Timing?

​Just looking at the timeline here and wondering if this managed wind-down might go down as a massive case of missing the macro boat.

​The board locked in the realization strategy back in March, citing market volatility. But looking at the second-order effects of the geopolitical crisis that kicked off in February, didn’t they throw in the towel right as the tide was turning?

​When major global arteries choke up, asset replacement costs skyrocket and the extra transit times around Africa naturally squeeze global fleet capacity. Handysize and Supramax vessels carry necessity goods—and a systemic shortage usually means premium charter rates for anyone left holding the keys.

​Instead of winding things down and selling off assets at what might prove to be the bottom of the sentiment cycle, shouldn't a shipping fund be putting on the "shark hat" and aggressively leasing these out on the spot market to print cash during a major supply shock?

​Feels like a textbook example of corporate caution overriding a generational asset-trading opportunity. No wonder activist funds like AVI have been quietly building a 5%+ stake recently to snap up the undervalued pieces. Thoughts? Always seems cleaner to just hold the upstream oil majors where you don’t have to guess if management has the stomach for the cycle.

The end result is just to keep doubling down on net Zero it seems.

Every week I walk the streets, another small business goes bust. A restaurant, and now a small tailoring business. Last week it was a local air cargo business in Bournemouth, nearly 200 jobs gone in one pen stroke.

Happy Monday!

Oilers to be a safe place while Tech and AI goes up in smoke this week?

Easy, the future. Imagine building out the first roads. The first rail roads. The first Datacentres. The first infrastructure and having the monopoly on it to charge tolls for the forseeble.

Statalites (Del Boy might say) that directly talk to your phone, no cell towers. Etc.

​The news breaking today is wild. Trump just did an interview on the New York Post's "Pod Force One" podcast and openly said he "would like to meet" and would be "honored" to sit down with Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.

....

Lol. I was close enough that he might have invited him round for golf this weekend ⛳️🏌‍♂️
