Not relevant CL because I totally reject the premise of your mantra that governments are wilfully undermining the value of their own currencies. err show me where I've said that It's like pulling teeth mate Let's take that equation out of it for a minute - the notion that there are entities pushing fiat/debt towards the brink - I'll get into that another time when Ive got the energy Let's assume it is all innocently organic Just tell me what you see since that massive May 2020 liquidity injection - in global assets and that would be after 10 years of QE - liquidity injection after 2008/09 and can you tell me how growth has been since then too 2008/09 see any problems per se ? Tell me how you think that has all worked out for the vast majority of the billions on this planet Your comments seem mostly self centred without consideration for everyone else - in a bit of a bubble What I've been saying, not only on here, since that print particularly is how precarious the system has become - you cannot say that has not proved to be correct And btw it aint for my ego .... people need to do their own reading and get understanding of how under threat their life's work and property is - can't help myself - just trying to help but all you seem to like doing is not taking on a conversation or adding due diligence.. you seem to just try to score points |

The government printed money to finance borrowings to pay for goods and services for us - the people. We then spend that money on ourselves - we benefit. OK that extra money sloshes around and will find it way into companies that provide the goods and services that we consumed boosting their coffers and share prices and fuelling inflation.
Yes - borrowings increase - impacting on the provision and affordability of future goods and services , and pushing inflation higher than it would otherwise have been. All knock effects of the original support given to us. We benefited with the cost passed onto future generations - not good but that's the way it works, apparently. We demand a higher standard of living than we can really afford and vote anybody out that won't provide the public services that we believe we are entitled to. |

What percentage of tax revenue goes on public services?
|
|
By:
Not like the helicopter money was evenly distributed across the nation either. Hoe much did you get?
|
|
By:
What else should it be spent on?
|
|
By:
Not servicing debt, for one.
|
|
By:
It's public debt innit, so...
|
|
By:
Not public services is it. Effectively down the toilet. Reeves is currently borrowing money to service the debt, never mind using tax revenue, or god forbid, putting it into public services.
|
|
By:
Of course it's public services, and it's down the drain.
|
|
By:
Erm, no. Paying interest yielding on gilts is not public services.
|
|
By:
Of course it is, it's public owned debt.

Nice PD re Tilray,i hope it keeps going for you.
Debt should be paid for by austerity,olden times but Ireland suffered it as a chief member of the PIGS,I am at a loss why the UK isn't taxed to high heaven, services cut in order to deal with debt, it is being ignored. |

Big rise yesterday after Friday falls, and bigger fall today.
Somebody says there are 39 owners for every ounce of gold that exists, so easy(ish) to see why prices can be moved so quickly. |
|
By:
Not sure anyone normal knows but these moves are not normal. Some of the noise is that state players are very active in the market. A commentator's opinion I respect was stating that a retracement in gold like this was a buy signal. Not so sure myself.

Everything is screaming to me personally that something big is coming, and not in a good way lol. I have been reversing positions this week.

Something been smelling off for a little while mate You trimmed/sold stock positions ? One thing that came into view past weeks or so is the reverse repo liquidity being totally drained - sometimes a catalyst for something hairy Last time something like that happened ? September 2019 and we all know what happened next |
|
By:
UK CPI tomorrow if anyone's interested
Let's see if it ever really went away |
|
By:
For sure cl, but it's very close now. I've been reversing positions I took in April, so circa 25% total return on that in 6 months.
As per my cash thread, I take all the good cash opportunities that come up. There will be another one within a week. |
