It was good timing for anyone putting cash in an ISA or pension. ISA limits reset April 5th so if you topped up your ISA and pension with shares on that date you would be quids up now.
I know a lot of people add monthly as part of salary, but if you have a self managed pension (SIPP) you probably top up each year at the reset date.
He starts with the only true statement in the whole video. None of us can possibly have any insight into why Trump is doing what heâs doing. Itâs a geopolitical play as part of an ongoing trade war and you canât know whatâs going on unless youâre party to all the discussion behind the scenes.
Doesnât matter what traders think. Doesnât matter what Gary thinks. The public alternative to negotiating a trade war settlement at this point is all out war. The US has made claims on Greenland and Canada, China has claims on Taiwan, Russia has claims on Ukraine. What happens if they all move?
It makes me wonder if this is really a war, or if is it part of a coordinated geopolitical play to get the population to accept compromises that prepare the world for the fourth industrial revolution. We have mad technologies coming through that are going to change the way we work and change the role of human beings in production and resource consumption. I reckon weâre seeing a big juggling act that will end with a different type of globalisation. America knows it wonât be the one world boss like itâs always been, but theyâre not prepared to accept a new boss, thereâs gotta be a balance of power or China will move closed to being able to enact itâs totalitarian one world policy.
The plans are out there for everyone to read:
World Economic Forum kicked things off with their âGreat Resetâ plan, whch was such juicy conspiracy theorist fodder that they took down their website, dropped the reset terminology and started talking about things differently. It has basically 100% failed and the WEF is probably about to wrap up. Davos attendance has withered. Not much left online about this unless you dig through archive.org but this is still up with links to a Klaus Schwab speech:

Chinaâs plan for a âglobal community of shared futureâ. Canât front on this, they are straight up calling for a China-led planet. Biggest threat to democracy right now, totalitarianism writ large:
Leaks from Russia but no public plan Iâm aware of:
As for AmericaâŚhow can we know? I assume they are planning some kind of strategic retreat, strengthening the presidentâs authority and all that right-wing shit is kind of essential if you look at what the authoritarian Russian and Chinese states are saying theyâre gonna do. If the USA is legally challenging its own strategic decisions itâs gonna be fighting itself as much as itâs fighting for other countries. But then thatâs not really democracy is it? Is freedom of speech still worthwhile if you canât challenge presidential authority? Itâs a big old mess and Gary never talks about any of it because he doesnât have any answers and nor can he cos nobody has the answers and thereâs a war happening!
I think itâs America trying to assert themselves to stay relevant. Also trying to reclaim age old male dominance. Belittle everyone with a âlet the big boys playâ attitude. Trump is doing it in the only way he knows how and cannot grasp that his business model doesnât work for a whole country/world.
Itâs all about bravado, greed and power and nothing about the country, people and industry.
Iâd say the worldâs stock markets crashing does matter
Not only is Trump incompetent, all the useful idiots that he has lined up all the way down the tree are mostly incompetent too. Theyâre only there because of theyâve bent the knee to the orange king.
Personally if you look at what theyâre doing with the idea that theyâre there to cut back the state while plundering as much dosh as they can, shore up red states for future safe seats, all while essentially being russian backed assets it makes a whole lot more sense.
I do think in the end something will crack or there will be some serious mismanagement that causes the whole thing to come crashing down. Wishful thinking perhaps
I hope so. Remember the big screw up 2 weeks ago with shareing classified info on signal.
Old news now.
Had the same problem with Boris here. All that were left by the end were the worst of the worst MPâs willing to work with him and let him do what he wanted for their own personal political gain.
Trump could hand pick even worse boot lickers, his plan this month seems to be, get as rich as he can and let his billionaire influential friends in on it too for his own future plans and gains too. Phase one of whatever his plan is, done. Now to phase twoâŚ
Heâs saying the market is more of a guage of whatâs actually happening than the speculation of academic economists. And what theyâre saying (with hard cash) is itâs not a master plan, its incompetence
Yeah but the market doesnât matter in this case because national security is more important. The market only works when you have stability and that has been guaranteed by US military muscle and the dollar standard. If the US loses its reserve currency status, and if the military industrial complex starts to cost more than it brings in, the whole show is over.
I say we make friends with china quickly.
Iâll open a Temu account if it helps, i love those catchy adverts
Seems to be the EU view as well. Spanish PM has been over there making friends.
Totalitarianism in the new capitalism!
Well theyâve got all the chips
Its a long one, nearly an hour but cleared a few things up for me.
Jimo if youâre feeling triggered he does talk.about implications for war towards the end
NoâŚthis is not an Onion article
Sheâs so addled you canât even laugh at her anymore.
wtaf
you couldnât make it up
sheâs actually gone mental
âTruss made the revelation at a cryptocurrency conference in Bedfordâ
because of course she did
Truss Social?
Anyone else who fucked the country as badly as she did would just pale into obscurity, but instead sheâs just going to try to run some trump playbook to curry favour with the gammons, although, are you allowed curry if you hate brown people?
From a person that has been part of a party that has took away more rights from the British public than any other. Rights to just gather, far less rights to protest and partied while arresting the public for sitting on benches during covid.
The saying âWhat a time to be aliveâ should now be changed to âWhat a shit time to be alive!â
âFree speechâ being touted by the right is just a vehicle to be racist/sexist/homophobic and it be ok to be but as soon as you start to chat freely about them being any of those things and calling them wrong/stupid/Michael Fabricants etc then they donât like that kind of free speech. But of course this is obvious.
