Is the economy zero sum? Most political arguments assume yes. Every time you hear "the rich get richer because the poor get poorer," that is the assumption underneath. That the economy is a fixed pie. That someone's gain must be someone else's loss. Most economic evidence says it isn't. Here's the actual answer, and why it matters more than you think. 🧵 #GameTheory

@steady_profits It's coming!

My long-term followers will be used to seeing this screenshot. There was no X monetization payout for me once again. 😭

@nfluk_tickets Send larger variety and better games!

What's the future for the NFL London games? I think it's interesting that the Eagles V Jaguars game was the most expensive out of the 3 but has sold out. The other 2 have sold very poorly, thousands of tickets remain unsold after the tickets have been on general sale for weeks... The NFL can't look at those seat maps and think all is well. Long gone are the days of ticket queues of hundreds of thousands, hours of wait and same day sell outs. Ticket prices, removal of season tickets, teams with smaller UK fan bases coming over, Jaguars fatigue, other games held in Europe meaning European fans don't need to travel to London to see a game, these are probably all factors. But what does the NFL do now? They have an agreement with Tottenham Stadium for 2 games until 2029-30 season. The Jaguars have an agreement to potentially play up to 3 games in London in 2027. Interesting times ahead for the NFL in London but one thing I think is certain, a London franchise just wouldn't be sustainable. @ProFootballTalk

@TwoMindMoney Happy birthday! Not sure why I thought you were twins 😂

Wanna take a moment and wish Brother A a happy birthday today! It’s a blast doing this page together!

@botzarelli @CallumLyon The big thing about Skipton is affordability is done as a multiple of your rental! So they assess monthly payment based on track record of rental payments

@AshyCompounds @CallumLyon Not clear the lack of deposit was his issue rather than passing the affordability criteria. Those are v stringent post-crash. Earlier in the year I somehow failed them in applying to remortgage and go from 15% LTV to 25% (ie starting on 85% equity).

Bank says I can't afford a £800 a month mortgage so I just pay my landlord £1200 a month and pay his mortgage instead.

@botzarelli @CallumLyon The LTI is often a limitation. Most only offer 4.5x salary as a loan

@YodaStockInvest Most banks offer great things that $SOFI doesn't. Low volatility and usually consistent dividend yield. If that's not what you after $SOFI is great. But let's not pretend banking stocks don't offer much. Boring is best with investing

Why $SOFI is the ONLY bank to own - Growing >30% consistently - EPS expected to DOUBLE in 2026 - Fintech valuation possibility - New age banking: David coming to take down Goliath Most banking stocks are boring and don’t offer any investor much. This is the one exception!

@botzarelli @CallumLyon Definitely won't be as good as a deposit mortgage. But for those struggling to save a deposit due to higher rent than you would pay in a mortgage (Like Callum), there clearly are options out there

The interest rate on those is between 0.5% and 1.3% higher than for 5 year fixed mortgages with a 10% deposit and ordinary affordability criteria. That comes out for a £200k mortgage at a difference in monthly repayments of up to £155. It’ll probably still often save over renting but at a cost.

@LongBullz Thanks much like investing

@AshyCompounds Patience Ashy!

No payout this week. But we have am amazing weekend ahead! Did you get paid?

@InvestingAddict Cheers. Will be doing!

@AshyCompounds Keep grinding

@freedomisntfree Thanks so much. Really appreciate these words and the repost. Put a lot of effort into this one

@AshyCompounds Hey Ashy I just wanted to say that this thread was an amazing read. There is so much engagement farming and ragebait on finX it was genuinely interesting to read a cool thought piece like this in a well-thought out, novel format! Will repost! <3

@Mauriinvesting1 Investing is

Saving is not going to get you rich btw

@IndexAndForget Finding the same. My base number is higher but not really. Remaking out. Range seems small

So with this new X algorithm, how are we supposed to reach new people? Like im seeing 0 new people on my For You. Is this just me?

Weekly ISA Check In: -1.0% YTD: 5.8% Another red week but expecting this to last. Luckily I get to buy again next month. How was your week ago?

@IndexAndForget I only ever buy the top Its about consistency

People don’t want to buy stocks when they are dumping. They love buying at market top. Why does this happen every time?

@andyburnham Generate some growth pls 🙏

The next few days are about more than changing who governs Britain. They’re about changing how Britain is governed.

@QuietWealth_UK That is such a big one! I thinking always raising your hand to show off your skills and give more is always great!

@AshyCompounds Nice list bro, these small details really help you stand out. One thing id add, if you are particularly confident in your skills in one are of work, raise your hand to create documentation/training on it for Juniors

A great way to increase your income is by doing well at work. It sounds obvious, but small consistent things genuinely accelerate income growth. This has worked for me: - Find a role with genuine upward mobility and leadership who actually reward performance - Be on time. Early, if possible. Leave a bit later than you need to - Put your hand up to help with everything, especially the stuff outside your job description - Be well groomed and put visible effort into how you present yourself - Do small pieces of work for leadership that they'd find genuinely useful, especially when nobody asked you to None of this replaces skill or results. But it compounds quietly in the background while everyone else is just doing the bare minimum. What would you add? 👇 #CareerAdvise

@financefraz @JamesP728 @steady_profits Haha thanks Frazer! Fingers crossed for all of us

@JamesP728 @steady_profits I want @steady_profits and @AshyCompounds to get a payout more than me 🤣🤣

Happy X payday everyone 🥳💷 Best of luck! Hopefully the payouts are all decent! Especially to @steady_profits I think he needs all the luck he can get! 🙈

@financefraz No this was general. Below is verified

@AshyCompounds Possibly! Engagement rate is good (I think) , are verified stats looking ok?

My 2 week analytics for the first payout I'm eligible for. Do you think I'll get one?

@Steve_Kicinski Probably the best and easiest advice to follow.

@AshyCompounds I’d say showing up on time/early puts you in the top 10% of most employees in my personal experience.
