@thebigragu72 @moving_charlie @that_stocks_guy A large part of it could be someone else’s cash - say interest rates are 5%. This way you get a leveraged return.
May I answer your question with a question?
If not resi then where would you put that cash?

@historyinmemes Why isn’t this guy one of the biggest celebrities alive today instead of the likes of Kim Kardashian?

An important message for the Real Vision community...

Occasionally, we get a bunch of negative mentions on Twitter, from a select group of “competitors” and individuals who are seeking attention for personal gain. Normally we ignore this, as we prefer not to help people with their own marketing campaigns (and this is Twitter after all...)

So, we’ve remained quiet. We prefer to focus on our mission to help people navigate these complex times, like we have since 2014. We take pride in offering a platform that fosters open discussion from all perspectives, uniquely positioned at the nexus of macro, crypto, and technology - and above all, we stand proudly for our community and our commitment to serving their needs.

But we can no longer remain silent, because frankly, this misinformation is now unfairly affecting our staff, and increasingly angering our global community.

This misinformation is harmful, and could deprive you of the unbiased and broad information you need, whether macro or crypto. It may hinder your ability to acquire the knowledge you deserve - knowledge with which to make your own decisions and take control of your own finances. Remember, we always encourage you to do your own research.  Nobody has a crystal ball...

Real Vision and our community care about facts.

So, here are some facts...

Firstly, we’ve been a very successful business throughout the years but we’ve certainly had to fight for it. Even though we’ve managed to produce record revenues every year for the last 5 years, we take nothing for granted and our focus is always on over-delivering for members.

Secondly, Real Vision has never taken sponsorship money from FTX. In fact, we use sponsorships very sparingly, and only to support our free shows - and we ALWAYS disclose those sponsorships. Journalistic integrity is at the core of our mission. Our business model remains subscription-centric for this very reason. The information we bring to the community will not be compromised.

Next, far from taking a step back, Real Vision is taking a big leap forward. We’ve been hiring new Visionaries to build the next iteration of Real Vision, and this next iteration is the biggest and most ambitious step we’ve taken yet as a company. We haven’t broadly shared our plans for the new platform yet. But stay tuned for the “Real Vision 2.0” announcement - we can’t wait to unveil it.

Toward that effort, we have greatly expanded our engineering and product teams to ensure that the entirely new Real Vision 2.0 platform delivers on its promise. We've been working towards its launch for years, all along listening to our community’s needs. (Spoiler alert: Everything we do is for our community).

As part of this change, sadly we had to say goodbye to some incredible Visionaries and old friends. It’s gut-wrenching and not something anyone wants to go through. But regretfully it was necessary to stay disciplined and focused on the future.

It’s important to note, however, that the numbers floating around are a particularly egregious falsehood. It’s truly disappointing to see such a total abdication of facts.

We know that this message will probably be met by a Twitter pile-on from a few, and frankly? We don’t care.

We wanted our Real Vision community to hear this: We receive far more positive feedback daily from the people who tell us that we’ve changed their lives for the better. We hear from the people who have made lifelong friends at our events, the people who have helped each other and us endlessly, the people without whom Real Vision doesn’t exist.

And we can’t thank them, and you, our community, enough for being such passionate supporters of Real Vision and part of the most incredible community in finance. This is what keeps us going.

Real Visionaries, we cannot wait to unveil the new platform to you this summer. You’ll be hearing more about it in the coming weeks... In the meantime, we’re always around to chat at [email protected].

And of course, if we have helped you in your journey and you’re behind our mission and what we stand for, you can do so by liking, retweeting, or responding to this thread. Our hard-working Real Vision team would deeply appreciate that too. (Reply guys and trolls, don’t bother.)

Onwards and upwards...

Landg website still broken with no timescale to fix 7 weeks later @landg_group

[brx @rogier23]

@landg_business No your website is broken as verified again with Helpdesk. This is for George and accounts from LSE group. Your tweet is again false please retract it.

@landg_business The LandG portal offering customers access to their pensions has been broken for months and no fix date. As far as I can tell ALL pensioners are impacted who are in corporate schemes, like me - Refinitiv.

[brx @rogier23]

@landg_business There is an issue with your website with accounts in drawdown that have migrated from LSE Group and I verified this with the same lady I spoke to earlier. I am not the only one impacted. Your tweet is false again. Please retract it.

@landg_group LandG stole my Refinitiv pension and promised me access to my money after 2 months. Now the promise has changed and the best I can hope for is to wait an additional 5 weeks. Meanwhile my overdraft increases. And the value of the funds is not available on the LandG portal. Aaagh!
