Troajan, how many papers did reveal the details regarding Panama papers and how our elites hide money in offshore entities whilst paying little tax where they reside. One rule for us and another for others. We do not have much choice, mosr people get their taxes paid on a monthly basis. Without leaks, we would be clueless about what is going on.
Trojan, Do you really think you are being told the truth on TV? I remember going to Greece during the Kosovo war. In Greece, you were watching Serbians being killed by Kosovars and the opposite in the UK. We all know now that both sides carried out war crimes. Watch closely what will happen to Assange. He was trying to tell us what is really going on and where our money goes.
Trojan, I agree with you on a lot of points you highlighted. However, I am not sure what he is supposed to do when NATO troops are surrounding his country on the west border. What I know is if Russia was a weak country, we would be exploiting their immense oil and gas resources. Sometimes, you have to put yourself in their own shoes. Regime change does not really work.
Looking at history,.it always happens when a new world power emerges. The US will not let it go without a good fight though. Africa should do okay with new Chinese infrastructure. Regarding Putin, I have watched a few programs where he was either presenting or answering questions. He is not a fool, he is a very smart operator, his style would not work in the UK but works fine for the Russians. They seem to like him there. Due to their climate, they are tough people.
It is starting to be a more belligerent world though. Turkey is joining China and Russia as well as their SWIFT system away from the dollar. India buying russian military gear instead of American. The 21st century will be dominated by Asian growth and possibly dominance whilst us the West mired by our own decline because we wanted to fight any dick and Harry.
Trojan, the US has not helped. They did not like the experiments in Venezuela, Libya (currency back by gold), Iraq (selling oil in Euros instead of US dollars) and looking at Iran. I think they are starting to get scared of what could happen if the US dollar is no longer the reserve currency. They cannot bully China or Russia. When it happens, they will not be as rich as not many are buying the Ponzi scheme anymore. Why would China sell any products they produce for any paper the US just prints? It is a scam and China knows it. The US needs China more than China needs the US. That is why Trump is going nowhere with the MAGA bullshit with the Chinese.
Trojan, I think I will stick to mining and oil stocks. Had a punt in Deb and obviously did not work out. People are not spending money as most businesses are facing uncertainty related to a Brexit and an economic slowdown around the world. Trump is asking for more quantitative easing tells you all you need to know. No country wins trade wars. I guess he is learning.
Hi Trojan, I have some shares in xtr but I am currently have a much higher amount in MTL and CEY. I really think MTL can turn the corner this year. Should be a multibagger if everything goes smoothly. Will look into sgz. Thanks for the tip.i also really like FRES.
Gold is being manipulated. According to the gold paper contracts being traded, there is a lot of gold sloshing about, which is untrue. I see gold as a way of storing wealth, no more no less. Gold gets revalued time to time. It is not really an investment but a way to protect yourself against inflation. 10 percent of your wealth, no bad Pallarts. I was talking to a guy from India the other day and he explained to me that his family has been able to protect their wealth by buying gold as inflation has been awful in the last few years.
Anyway, I need to do some work. My message is really about risk assessing what is possible and put plans to protect yourself and your family. 500 ounces of silver Britannias will only set you back by 7.5 thousand pounds. I bet you have more money invested on the stock market. Plus silver Britannias are CGT free.
