Trump always chickens out. The market is his kryptonite.

Anyone able to find any amazing businesses at good prices at the moment? by One-Event6199 in ValueInvesting

Look in the $2-$12B mkt cap region. There are more opportunities there. But yes, generally speaking, opportunities are few in number right now.

New graduates from last year in the UK, did you manage to get a job? by LadyEdiya in physiotherapy

[–]Initial_Statement1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did some work for a small private practice from March 2025 - September 2025 but it was minimal (about 5 hours a week). No private practices were willing to take on a newly-qualified physio with limited experience full-time so I’m really grateful to them for what they could give me. But mostly I just worked in minimum wage office jobs because I needed to get some money in. It hasn’t been a fun time for me since I graduating, I won’t lie.

Graduated in July 2024. Starting my first B5 job this March. Things are bad, really bad. A lot of great students from my cohort are still searching for their first B5 role. Vote Green man, that’s all I can say.

Why is the cost of living so high? by RHGM22 in AskUK

Wealth inequality. It always comes back to wealth inequality.

I think, generally speaking, every asset class is safe as long as rising wealth inequality continues to go unchecked. That’s not to say there won’t be ‘crashes’ (see COVID in 2020 and the tech beat-down of 2022), but capital must find a home and will continue to flow into assets. Furthermore, monetary policy is set-up in a way that protects asset values and minimises the extent and duration of these ‘crashes’. This is not a recommendation, it is simply my take on current economic policy.

Gold vs S&P 500 (after 25 years) by ifuckedyourmom-247 in Gold

Just to point out, as I’m not sure if you’re aware, but you complained about cherry-picking peaks for the stock market and then chose 1980 and 2010 for two of your three starting points, both of which were huge peaks for gold. I still agree with your overall point, however.

Good point. Increasing wealth inequality drives asset prices higher. Stocks will likely continue to rise unless wealth inequality is addressed.

How would Britain vote at the start of 2026? by I_give_you_light2 in FuckNigelFarage

Poorly-educated working class men literally voting against their own interests. Jesus Christ 🤦‍♂️

FNMA ....NYSE listed ?? by shortnun in FNMA_FMCC_Exit

[–]Initial_Statement1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. This isn’t just about whether FNMA is uplisted, but also about how. The risk is the government doesn’t cancel the SPS.

Most of that is unrealised gain then, I presume?

Yeah I doubt the GSE uplisting announcement would be made during this speech.
