@IncomeShares SLVI - already have a big position in SLVI as I have strong belief that silver will outperform over the next 5 years but that the price will continue to be volatile, SLVI should harness much of the upside while rewarding me with income while I wait.

@IncomeShares Great job again @Incomeshares , thank you. Looking forward to exploring your new products too

[Woody @Woodysilver]

@IncomeShares Great job again this month @IncomeShares !

[Woody @Woodysilver]

@Dioclet54046121 Does seem very convenient to block access to KINESIS as the same time as mints have dried up with supply of silver, only leaves ETFs if you are not already a kinesis customer, I do own some PSLV as well

[Woody @Woodysilver]

@cashflow_king94 Yes, I have the majority of my investments in silver since $25, I personally think we are likely to see silver over $300 in the next few years. (Not investment advice). Gold is likely to continue to do well too IMO as the excesses of the FIAT currencies system are outed

@2147mill SLVI - silver exposure with options income

[Woody @Woodysilver]

@cashflow_king94 @IncomeShares SLVI has been great, I am heavily into this. Given the bull market in precious metals I think SLVI and GLDE offer lots more potential with yields around the 10% mark, what’s not to like

[Woody @Woodysilver]

@freedombill3 @JamesP728 I am up 2% this week, mainly driven by the performance of silver. I follow @NorthstarCharts and it is worth you checking out their analysis of the capital rotation process to precious metals that is well underway

[Woody @Woodysilver]

@2147mill Good so far, I think more still to come over these next few years as a capital rotation into gold and silver continues

@freetrade hey Freetrade you are two weeks late paying tax relief on SIPP contributions- any update on when they will be paid?

[Woody @Woodysilver]

It feels like Rupert Lowe is a lone voice in Parliament, but well said Rupert!

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I sit in Parliament listening to these ministers, and it’s all just so depressing - the vast majority of them have never run a business, and it SHOWS. You would not believe how bad it is.

They think ‘work’ means turning up to an office between 9 and 5, answering a few emails, and going home at the end of the day. Nice lunch break, few coffees away from the desk, probably a smoking break or several. It doesn’t - not for the millions of men and women who actually create the wealth that funds the state.

Running a small business isn’t a job. It’s a way of life. It is life. It’s 24/7/365. It’s relentless. You are the accountant, HR department, compliance officer, cleaner, marketer, and customer service team - all in one. There’s no sick pay, no safety net, and no taxpayer-funded pension waiting for you.

Holiday? Good luck. If you do manage to get away, it’s checking the phone all day, every day. Wife/husband obviously getting pissed off. We’ve all been there...

It’s all on you. Every invoice chased, every tax deadline met, every bit of red tape navigated is on you. And if you make one mistake, one error, one small slip-up, the state comes after you - in a relentlessly efficient manner that is never afforded to us when we ask questions of it.

Most MPs have no idea what that feels like. They just don’t. We’re going to see more of this in the budget I’m sure. More hurt. More pain. More tax. They don’t get it.

They don’t understand that when a small business owner gets hit with another tax, it’s not absorbed by a ‘budget’ - it’s taken straight out of their family’s pocket.

There is no ‘deficit’ in the business world - that’s called going bust.

And they certainly don’t understand what real risk looks like. Politicians can vote through a policy on Monday and forget it by Tuesday - a small business owner lives with the consequences of that policy for years, decades. The MP monthly salary is safe. It always has been. In the public sector before, and in the public sector after - if not that, some charity/NGO funded entirely by the public sector.

GET A REAL JOB.

If MPs actually spent a week running a small firm - paying suppliers, tackling VAT, navigating health and safety law, sorting out HR issues, chasing clients for payment, trying to expand while staying compliant with everything from GDPR to local planning regulations - they’d legislate very differently. I can promise you that.

They’d realise that most of Britain’s problems could be solved by the state doing less, not more.

Cutting tax. Simplifying regulation. Slashing back the HRification of the country. Trusting people who actually produce things to get on with it.

Instead, we have a political class that talks endlessly about ‘growth’ while brutally punishing the only people capable of delivering it - especially going after the family businesses/farms, which is a particularly spiteful policy decision.

Small business owners are people who work harder than almost anyone in Parliament could imagine - and who are treated worse for it.

Britain’s small businesses don’t succeed because of politicians, they survive in spite of them.

Once above the red line, I expect silvers gains to be greater than golds.
