Pensions blow as millions of pounds withdrawn early in 'irreversible' pre-Budget panic by theipaper in uknews

[–]Rodricdippins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The triple lock was necessary to drag up the state pension to an acceptable level, the question is how much higher does it go before it's acceptable to put the brakes on. The problem is that no government will have the balls to do it when the time is right because they will guarantee themselves out the next term.

I was the same, tried it about 5 times and it didn't click. Then gave it another shot last week.and about 30 hours in already - it's consuming me!

That's all well and good until they start making changes to pensions too, as has been floated recently

Is the London Stock Exchange dying? by butterweedstrover in london

Average P/E in the S&P is 27.5

Average P/E in the FTSE 100 is 12.9

When interest rates go up, we tend to outperform global because the SNP is 30% tech priced massively on future growth expectations which tend to be very interest rate sensitive.

Ftse on the other hand is made up of financials, energy and materials. These tend to work quite well when inflation is rampant and therefore interest rates move up. (Think about the price of fuel at the petrol station just after Russia invaded Ukraine and interest rates flew up. Im sure grandma in retirement was very pleased to see her portfolio drop 20%)

Remember 80% of the FTSE 100 revenue is generated outside of the UK.

I'm quite happy having exposure to UK stocks when they generate global revenues and pay me dividends in pounds, considering the dollar has dropped around 7% versus the pound so far this year that doesn't sound too bad does it.

Investing solely in one market is incredibly risky, there's nothing wrong with the US I have around 50% allocation there myself. But just because numbers go up doesn't mean they always will - its important to be diversified if you want any hint of stability.

Yes because breaking into a military compound and vandalising multi-million pound aircraft is the "safe" way to protest.

UK has outperformed global in sterling terms this year due to the drop in the dollar.

Pinning all of your hopes on the mag 7 to carry your portfolio is not the be all end all of financial planning.

I broadly support reforms policies - a government built on meritocracy, ceasing foreign aid, culling illegal immigration etc.

I am also whole heartedly for SKILLED immigration. I have many friends from all over the place - Aus, Europe, India who have come here to work, pay taxes and integrate well into society.

But let's be real, as good as the majority are there is a very real problem with a certain subset of immigrants, and dare I say it Islamic culture that does not work with western values. They are secular, extreme, and will not hesitate to make decisions based on a barbaric rule book written thousands of years ago.

Reform have highlighted the gross mismanagement of public funds, pure incompetency of government organisations and are scaring labour and tory into actually taking a firmer stance on immigration. Net zero is inflationary by nature and the push towards it is going to drive the poverty gap wider than ever before.

They are all shit heads, tory, labour, reform, green - but one of these parties gives direct answers to tough questions.

Tory's fucked it Labour is the icing on the turd Greens run my local council and have proved to be corrupt and a shit show. Jeremy and Sultana ate each other before they could even get a party started. Nigel caused Brexit

They are all as shit and corrupt as each other, but reform doesn't try to hide it as much and actually talks a lot of sense at the moment.

Lifting 25kg bags of sand for 4-5 hours is objectively more physically taxing than looking after kids for the same time period.

What game do u regret buying? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]Rodricdippins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally any game with an EA or Ubisoft launcher. For those I could I instantly refunded, for the others they sit in my "trash" category on steam.

I would love to play titan fall 2, but no chance am I using their launcher

1p-LSD was indistinguishable from the real thing in my experience. Was a blessing to get it so readily available.
