I think I’ve done a reasonably good job explaining markets and making some predictions since the Covid crash in Mar 2020. My latest thoughts available below - including a healthy dose of pessimism (aka, perhaps, as realism)… **not investment advice unique to your circumstances
The writing and analysis by @whippletom alone is more than worth the cost of a subscription to the @thetimes. Today’s article on the Indian variant in the UK is the latest example of his clear and helpful writing. Thanks @whippletom for your valuable insight.
@prestonjbyrne Such regs would hurt productivity growth in the coming era of 5G. Possibly worth it but probably not a favourable long term solution; surely a better solution is to improve security.
"If you are serious about wanting to mitigate your inheritance tax liability and are fortunate enough to have a relatively high net worth then making a plan as soon as possible is likely a very good idea."

@AxelMerk@htsfhickey I meant a rebuttal from @htsfhickey to your, in my view very valid, point that the gold price is highly correlated to real yields. Though I certainly appreciate your replies.
@AxelMerk@htsfhickey Would (respectfully!) love to hear a more robust rebuttal from @htsfhickey on this point as the correlation looks fairly solid and, IMO, is logical that would be the case.
@AxelMerk@htsfhickey This is the biggest argument against gold right now. With 10yr infl exp at 2.4% and UST 10s at 1.65% - what’s more likely: higher breakevens or nominal yields. I’d say nominal yields. Which means a higher real yield and downward pressure on gold - algo or otherwise.
@AxelMerk@htsfhickey I think it’s fairly clear that this is why gold has gone down YTD too btw. To me it’s a just a question of whether that continues and i think it will
@prestonjbyrne It is a little ironic that the investment world seems obsessed with two things at the moment - Bitcoin and ‘ESG’ - and that the two are fairly incompatible
The latest in our content push aimed at higher earning young professionals in the UK. We now have a bunch of articles that should be genuinely useful and are completely free to access / don’t require you give an email etc. I hope they are useful to some of you.
If you have excess savings and think you might want to beef up your pension then read this article. Simple as that. Have a good day!

@darioperkins 1. Population density
2. Hospitals are overwhelmed in the US too but there is not the expectation of available universal healthcare that there is in the UK
With the end of the tax year approaching, keep in mind we offer a Financial MOT service for higher-earning professionals. It's a one-off, fixed-fee financial plan that answers the question: "What should I be doing with my savings?" Learn more here: https://t.co/ArhhsoaU5V
I was happy to contribute to this @business article on penny stocks which, along with other “investments” such as options and crypto currencies seem to have become more popular with individual investors. Such activity comes with big risks. https://t.co/nXG2T3sddG
