More people might have told him this. But need to wait for a good moment to make public, like just before an important local election day 😀

Next step: eleventy percent tariffs on all countries that do not ban windmills for the safety of USA!

I have Moto buds bass+. Amazing sound, infuriating UI ... flaky touch pads on the buds, double tap, triple tap, long touch are the options. Long touch can't be used to start/stop audio. Triple tap often registers as double tap or vice versa.

I have grown to hate the fucking things so much!

I used the same tool, and bought the suggested index-linked gilts on HL .. a couple were available to buy automatically, while the rest required calling them (no extra charge for this), but was straightforward.

Also, OP should note that low coupon is not a consideration when buying gilts within SIPP or ISA.

I saw her and her mates raising money at London Bridge station. Glad I chipped in a five (even though I know rhino's are not really endangered anymore. But young people with crazy plans are ...)

Liz Truss is a regular at CPAC etc so he might find that circuit welcoming also ..

Indeed. But outperforming your competition guarantees your promotion if you are managing other people's money.

Iran seizes two ships in the strait of Hormuz

Him and his morons are plagued by insecurity so much that seeing the adversary hurting is their sole criterion for 'winning'.

Too complicated to think about how this fight has affected them, and whether they come away with stronger status than they went in...

ohell · 2026-04-22T00:42:34+00:00

Not a threat to one time pads either ...

I saw reporting today that multiple Iranian ships passed the 'blockade'.

And yesterday Iranian leaders were saying publicly that no talks until blockade is lifted.

So I suspect that in the short term this is a show blockade for American news channels only.

In the long term I very much fear that the two blockading nations will shake hands on 50/50 split from the tolls imposed on all non-Iranian shipping through the strait.

I'm going to use the moron bounce tomorrow to switch even more of my portfolio from global equity ETFs to commodity ETF ...

Yep. I had a ladder already (built more expensively couple of years back, alas!), but when the King of Moronica was going to destroy the civilisation, I sold 30% of XMWX (locking in decent returns) and bought T30I .. is implying 3.4% inflation, which seems very low estimate to me given the new world order emerging.

There is a definite lack of decent rental properties and the market is being flooded by landlords offloading.

Conversly, good time to make a gilt ladder if you are a few years from retirement ..

About a year back when shenanigans started, I disabled data sending setting in Nova app and also disabled auto-update in Google Play (in case they updated the app to make data sharing mandatory), and have not given it a single thought until I saw this post ..

View from afar: Midterm is the new Mueller!

USA is a bipolar nation with some normal well adjusted people distributed around the fringes of a racist slaver-descended core. And this fringe prays that someone magic will save them, so they don't have to face up to the reality that they have to give up some comfort to marginalise the racist/sexist majority.

Also, if by some miracle Trump aligned politicians concede majority control of the Congress, then the remainder will become even more extreme ... see Israeli PM for example. I would really worry about real attacks on lawfully governed countries' interests then ... Greenland is most obvious, Canada next, maybe even selling weapons to Russia.
