2025 - In Review
A starkly unbelievable +97.7% but, as always, context is important. Much of the gain was repairing significant damage caused by a terrible 2024, however, I'm rather happy to be benefitting.
Significant contributions came from a high risk-on move on #EML...

@private_punter Fantastic feedback - thank you, Martin.
As you say, a lot in the delivery, but I see the downside fairly limited, especially if they continue to be conversative with cash.
@rhomboid1MF I’m continually surprised by how many times someone thinks they have “recreated” a Bloomberg terminal. AI deserved its shot.
PS. I’m an idiot too, though Sharepad is kinda ugly…
@mattbird55@BrilliantLeader@Hawkeye_74 LLMs also take out element of "browsing" - buyers like to look at what they may be able to buy, not necessarily specific requirements. Also, fear of FOMO by simply relying on a search query (e.g. looking for a 3-bed, but what if they saw a 2-bed with extension possibilities?)...
Well, this was a shock to find out - if only we had months like this on a frequent basis (although perhaps not the volatility the other end).
Great episode as always, @conkers3 & @HTVIOLA - always listening, will find time to comment/share more!
@MrSandMrJ1@Markos_mom It’s unlikely that’s the answer with RTI (monthly payroll submissions). It’ll be submitted as a one-off bonus, so the tax should be broadly correct.
More likely he is a higher rate tax payer (40%), NI (2%), student loan (9%) & perhaps pension (the balance).
@DDEE69@rhomboid1MF In fairness, they did confirm expectations within the release. If I was going to call it, I'd say it was likely that they may have just been a crap CFO, but WDIK? 🤷♂️
@conkers3 Thanks, Peter!
I’ll hopefully be around a bit more this next year, though juggling on many front!
HNY and big hugs to you & the family. 👍
