Buy The Dip

How much did you benefit from the QE debacle bailing out the too big to fail criminal ' speculate to fatten up my bonus'  corps Johnny ?

We had to pay for defeating napoleon, its
only fair.

There's still some unclaimed debt, check grannies safe...

I'll be back but been at desk since 6.30 am so I'm out now


where's the benefits of the last 20 years ?
quality of life thru the roof for the average grinder ?

I don't think so muchly

What you are missing is that prices get away quicker than you can earn when the musical chair game reaches a crescendo ...

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.

Cheers Pa, im holding for the next gen, in part.

A bit of good luck always helps.

Gold falls 5.5%, marking its biggest single-day drop in 5 years.

Silver drops 6.4% in steepest fall since 2021 as metals retreat from highs.

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.

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.

Keep buying, its all going up, bad news is good news.

Mr Market knows best. Time in the market, not timing the market.

Buy buy buy.

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

UK CPI tomorrow if anyone's interested

Let's see if it ever really went away

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.

Shawbrook IPO - throwing a few quid at this.

Tesla having a good day
Down over5%
at 405

On 1 December the savings safety limit for the @FSCS will rise from the currently £85,000 per person per financial institution to £120,000.

Some good news

Isa allowance set to change in budget

But currently you can hold cash in stocks and shares isa
and get around 4%

Wonder if that gets changed too.

how's Tesla doing ?

Gold hits £3,300 an ounce
silver hits £50 an ounce

Christmas demand.

Amazing how the market keeps rebounding despite the rise in public debt, business taxes, business failures and unemployment. Most investment funds are now moving to US and other foreign shares which means that my stock Isas are up 15% on the year.

Ftse passes 10k,briefly,

Gold hits £3,400
Silver £64 an ounce

Gold hits £3,500
Silver £70

Another one upon us tomorrow. The price of oil will skyrocket, the stocks will nose-dive.

buying opportunity this week coming ...............load up!

UK lenders have begun raising mortgage interest rates as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has raised fears that inflation will rise and curb further Bank of England rate cuts.

Nationwide has increased rates some of its products by up to 0.25%, while HSBC UK and Coventry Building Society have also said they will increase rates.

The increases come after changes to the financial market's view of what the Bank of England will do to UK interest rates.

Tesla down at
362
War of the worlds
worst to come

The SpaceX IPO is going to be fascinating. To the moon, literally

I'm so irritating : Tesla is over 40% up over last year.


Your stupid spam is pointless, give ya heed a wobble, you actually think a high oil price is anything but great news for Tesla?

Idiot.

Anyone looking at Merkan stocks atm?

Please no time twisters.

UK borrowing costs hit highest for 18 years as uncertainty over PM continues

The effective interest rate on borrowing over 10 years briefly hit 5.13%, near levels last seen during the 2008 global financial crisis.

Financial markets have been on edge due to fears higher oil prices caused by the Iran war will push up inflation and lead to interest rate hikes.

But the possibility of a change of leadership in the UK and perceived risk of looser public spending has further unsettled investors.

Ffs

BITCOIN continues the drop

Buying/selling gold is not for everyone, very hard to escape the premium charges.
Gold mining stock indices like NYSE Arca down 10% ytd but up 50% in year.

Meanwhile, and just for his hardcore followers on here


SpaceX shares will be offered at $135, raising $75 billion by selling 555,555,555 shares, valuing Elon Musk’s AI-rocket company at $1.75 trillion.


Hmm, tasty tasty very very tasty.

Valued at 100 times REVENUE

Analsts say it needs to grow at 50%
A YEAR for the next 10 years
To justify the valuation

Insane  IPO

Is recent up ticks in ftse  just a case of Market hates uncertainty and now that starmer is gone it's up we go or is this just the summer heat effect?

No real reason for Market to get excited about Burnham as pm, reckon as soon as he opens his gob all these gains and more will evaporate like spring  snow on a stone wall (lol).

Interest rate hold might of helped but overall inflation still high and expected  growth very poor, or is that all just quacky garbage and were ready to rumble?

Would like to think Market has a bit of beef to put on shortly.

ftse 100 reflects the global market (it's effectively a global value fund)

ftse 250 is a bit more domestically indicative.

the erosion of the value of the £ (expect even more borrowing, and lying about it). Equities like borrowing though, government is not price sensitive or strategic. It is inflationary.

Gilt rates are far higher now.

Don't confuse government bond markets with equities. Government bond markets reacted to the unwinding of QE. Map the G7 and you'll see, nothing to do with the mini budget.

Oh and the BoE was nakedly corrupt, telling markets in advance they would be dumping gilts.

If the government / bank of England didn't reduce money supply
things would have been even worse.

Kami kwasi ignored everything he was told, and
deliberately avoided a reality check on his crazy
bodgit, even downgrading it's name, lol, to avoid
legal requirement.

A step akin to spaffer proroguing parliament

They deserved to go

If you want to actually have a look at what happened back in late 2022, it traced back to the then Fed chair Powell. He not only surprisingly raised rates, he was very hawkish on the future.
That triggered a scramble to safety [usd].
It's actually happened this past week or so. The new Fed chair was more hawkish than expected. he didn't even need to move the rates, he just needed to talk about doing it in the future. And there was a big shift in USD correlated markets, sensitive to the rate.

You're competing with people claiming it's all Truss's fault. The media, blob and establishment all blamed her, her own party blamed her, it was very convenient to all of them. Most people have the attention span of a gnat and not interested in the detail of why it wasn't Truss who created higher mortgage interest. 'Everyone' blamed her and it's far easier to believe them. It's there in black and white though, no conspiracy. Just open corruption.

OK, but my understanding of the situation concerning the liability derived investments was bank loaned shed load  to funds, funds make bets and return them to bank as collateral, bank repackages /4creates a lDI but as these bad bets looked like bad bets due to inflationary pressure didn't fancy the risk and threatened to dump emm, which would still leave funds on hook for the difference.

The gov steps in and buys the lDI (bad bets) but it's now a gilt lol.

Is that not correct?

LDI's were contracts (swaps/insurance) against a big shift in market gilt rates (if rates go up, the value of existing gilts in the market goes down). You probably know what a short is, well the pensions business had created huge hedges against this. They didn't bargain on a once in a century event, and a huge spike in gilt rates (meaning the arse fell out of the market value of existing gilts). 

Gilts are hugely important to the pensions business, basically what happens when people buy an annuity is that the insurer purchases gilts to cover the liability. When gilt rates go up, it becomes a lot cheaper to cover the annuity liabilities, hence why CETV's are about the third of their peak. It's now a lot cheaper to cover the cost of an annuity.

Bailey was forced to manipulate the price of long gilts by buying up everything at any price, shortly after dumping them on the market (think petrol, fire etc).

None of the establishment (or regulator) had any clue about the level of LDI liabilities, and that it could have bankrupted huge financial institutions. So the politicians were unaware of it as well, but why would they be aware of it? They rely on the 'experts' in the treasury and BoE.

In a nutshell, Bailey helped to force the value of existing long gilts down by dumping the ones he had, then had to u turn and buy them back again to manipulate the market back up, to lessen the cost of the shorting to the institutions that gambled by selling the insurance. 

It was basically flushed out by the unwinding of QE, it didn't cause it, gilt rates were always going to go big, but it massively increased the volatility.

If kwasi wasn't to blame then hunt couldn't have fixed it by simple
cancelling of bodgit.

The koolaid boys try to rewrite history.

£425 billion wiped off pension funds is all we need to know

Absolutely terrific interview (link below). Elon being interviewed way back in '07 about SpaceX. And even more rare, the interviewer doesn't hate him (he is actually awesome as well)!

Is this a drip- drip downward decline? The Nasdaq has been shooting up despite the economy struggle and debt of the USA.

The UK government was forced to pay the highest interest rate for a 30-year bond since 1998 on Tuesday, underlining the fiscal challenges facing the chancellor, John Healey.

Echoing the global bond market sell-off that has driven up yields, or interest rates, on government borrowing across the main markets, the Treasury paid 5.82% to borrow £4bn.

The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee was split 6-3 in its decision to hold interest rates at 3.75%.

Three members of the nine-member committee voted to raise its base interest to 4%, while the other six voted to hold it.

Tesla having a decent month, more murmurings of a  merger.

FTSE  gains some of Friday's losses, been a lot of chat about impending Oct doom, but let's face it the resiliance the markets have shown in spite of some pretty challenging conditions has been remarkable.

Where have all the doom mongers went?  They usually trigger and come out of woodwork.
It's actually worrying

Intel getting
HAMMERED

Intel shares down 50% in month

Ceo buying the dip bought 10mill worth.

stick with unglamourous stocks that just climb steadily over time.

Higher interest rate means higher pound so importers will benefit a little. Exporters the opposite.

The usual rules don't apply any more, or so it seems. Where equities trading generally reflected a reasonable period of payback based on returns. Now, it appears to be predominately sentiment. There will surely be a reckoning at some point, and the longer it takes, the worse it will be. Personally, I'm not too keen on everything resting on me still having a seat when the music stops. But I have given up listening to the music!

SpaceX shares were down more than 8% in early trading on Friday, while Tesla shares dropped more than 9%.

Shares in chipmakers Qualcomm and Intel were down nearly 11% and more than 7%, respectively. Nvidia shares have also dropped by more than 7%.

Those losses dragged the tech-heavy Nasdaq stock index down, and it has fallen 4.8% in early trading.

It's Thursday, but bbc seem to think it's Friday...

VIX has jumped over 10 points to
27%
Biggie TROUBLE

daq biggest fall since the start of covid hysteria. tomorrow is the true test, another fall and it's game on

The nasdaq index had its biggest one-day fall since Donald Trump announced his “liberation day” tariffs on US trading partners in April 2025.
