The posture, the hair, does he think he's the Fonz?
The African angle intrigued me. #AAF and #HTWS both doing well, and emerging / frontier markets are perking up nicely.
#CAPB caught my eye recently too. Though after reading The Pay off by Gottfried Leibbrandt I couldn't work out how all these fintech start ups competed with the big banks. Maybe they eventually get bought out which could be a nice exit.
#ASAI also interesting.
Very bad news for chickens.
Well that's bollocks. Sainsbury's "Taste the Difference" is always my go to, particularly the wines.
Might be that it's a good system in a bad situation. Though certainly agree we don't want FTSE boardroom psychopaths running the country.
Seems to me that the mindset of the criminal and that of the entrepreneur aren't that different.
No!
I remember visiting the Ladbrokes in Willesden when an argument broke out between two of my fellow investors. Eventually one of them left and it looked as though things would calm down until he returned brandishing a machete. I placed my bet and left.
If it hadn't been Farage it would have been someone like him. The important question is why are so many people so angry they're prepared to vote for him?
I would suggest it is because they have been ignored for 40 years by both liberal and capitalist elites.
I would have thought the way forward was to start paying attention to the people Farage appeals to.
Do we know if Farage's voters get their news from the BBC?
Annuziata = A tuna nazi
What's with the font sizes? Brian Cox bigger than Roger Penrose? Alastair Campbell bigger than Neil Kinnock?
And WTF is an Annuziata Rees-Mogg?
Ha! This was some years ago but even then he apparently looked as though he was at the wrong end of a good night out.
No idea, but my brother did meet Phil Tufnell when he was working as the face of British Sausages.
Recenlty bought this myself. When the market rallied following Trump's Liberation Day it finally struck me that we were in a mad bull market and I'd better get on board.
Oh yes, rereading it I see what you mean. No probs.
π...it was a 30% loss!
Not much point in trying to be the next Buffett unless you've got someone like Ajit Jain as your wingman.
I maintain I was early, not wrong. Don't know how long I can keep that up for though.
Amateurs! I bailed out of #GAW at Β£5.50. Currenlty Β£163.30
Always impressed by people who can buy a company after it's multibagged. Something I'm going to have to practise, especially as we seem to be in a ripsnorting bull market.
Interesting to see that #JHD.L see themselves as a beneficiary of the UK's relative tariff advantage. Sales to USA up as customers move away from suppliers from countries with higher tariffs.
"...part of the art of politics is smiling when you feel like you're swallowing a turd." Bill Clinton.
It's demeaning but it buys time.
"our culture" ????
Frankly, news to me that any actual thinking is going on.
As a holder of #BUR all I can say is wise words.
Ketamin must be a blast!
Virtually all the market commentary I see is one version or another of buy the dip. Can this really be the case when the US is turning into a third world country before our eyes?
Can't convince myself it is.
