@dogreadsnews @kaya85kaya @Frencheconomics Thank you for your thoughts. Genuinely appreciated :) Last prompt (should you kindly indulge me further), why is Berkshire Hathaway not falling over itself to allocate its cash holdings as you have suggested may be most prudent?

The 'Tech' sector includes the Mag-7, Tesla and other companies of their ilk who are driving innovation and growth in the global economy. Mainly US-listed equities but also the emerging fixed-income products backed by hard assets. Your second point is the key one. It's a question of how to preserve wealth. If you want to keep wealth for generations, focus on not losing it. Fiat currency loses value over time and systems can change, so hold assets that can’t be easily diluted by central banks (like gold and Bitcoin), and make sure you actually control what you own. There isn't much that outruns monetary inflation, as this image shows.

The deleveraging of the UK household sector to become net cash is one of the more striking economic transformations of the last 20 years

@dogreadsnews @kaya85kaya @Frencheconomics Help me out here. “Tech” is a sector. Are you saying any asset class (equities, fixed income, etc) associated with that sector? On a more interesting note (to me anyway) 50, 70, 100 years really is not long enough. Merely 2 generations…

@dogreadsnews @kaya85kaya @Frencheconomics Until it doesn’t 👀 Commentators ignoring sequencing risk affecting total real returns over 10+ year periods are disingenuous: 1929, 1969, 2000, 2008

@JamesRaxz @shivmalik @chris_komatsu Only anecdotal but those sentiments reflect many in the circles in UK and France from my experience… …specifically, that confidence the US can make it right and not allow it to go so wrong again is gone for a generation.

@shivmalik @chris_komatsu Hey, my spouse and their family are Germans. We live there a good chunk of the year. You speak for yourself on this. I’ve encountered nothing but sadness at what’s gone on and prayers that we get through it and anger at Trump. But also confidence we’ll make it right.

The headline says that the costs of Trump’s tantrums are “starting to show”. I don’t think Americans get that for Europeans, the Greenland debacle changed everything. It’s over. No one can trust the US. It’s not because of Trump. It’s because we know your system can’t/ won’t stop him or the next guy after him. And also that there’s enough of you who think it would be ‘cool’ to invade just to rub it in our faces. That’s a good enough reason to never trust you again and make everything far more transactional.

@pulsewarrior433 @MartinSLewis Maybe. Just a question of how and when… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@MartinSLewis Buy the index, its the only way to beat inflation and the debasement of your money long term.

If you put money aside for your children this is worth a listen. Its one of the subjects I get the most questions about and I hope I answer them in this

@jnflmng @michaelxpettis Does the White House not differ in opinion? Seems to be calling on for support in the Strait of Hormuz?

@michaelxpettis The only bluewater navy in the world, capable of enforcing the routes of trade is the US Navy. Everything else is just noise.

1/6 FT editorial: "Other governments have not done much to play the role the US once did of seeking to anchor the world trading system. Mark Carney, Canada’s prime minister, and others have been talking about an alliance of middle powers seeking to save... ft.com/content/0ed61c…

@RebelliousBard @peterkyle Modern society in the UK is not conducive to parenthood: expecting mothers to be everything; and expecting fathers to be everything too. But here we are. If mother is in hospital then the least I can do to keep things normal is put my daughter’s hair up in a ponytail for school.

This is blatant social engineering to feminize men. Day-one paternity leave and hair-braiding propaganda aren't about "bonding" they're designed to erode natural male roles of providing and protecting, pushing emotional nurturing instead. Strong families need complementary sex roles, not state-forced role reversal. Typical lefty bullshit.

Did you know that dads who start a new job aren’t eligible for paternity leave unless they’ve been in that job for 6 months? We’re changing that. This April, we’re introducing measures so that dads and partners can be present with their new child from day one of employment. Thanks again Mat and Lawrence for coming in to speak to me.

@jaimerh354 @RHonMooncalf @communicipalist @mrsDugskullery And the Battenberg livery?

@LegalTony @RHonMooncalf @communicipalist @mrsDugskullery Which is why it isn’t an offence. From a distance anyone in black with some personal protective equipment “could” be a police constable. But that wouldn’t amount to the offence or match the requisite intent.

In the UK, impersonating a police officer is a criminal offence under Section 90 of the Police Act 1996, which prohibits pretending to be a police officer. The 'real' Met police are too cowed/corrupt/intimidated to uphold the law. Take these vigilantes off Britain's streets.

@jaimerh354 @communicipalist @mrsDugskullery You miss my point. Up close, I accept yours.

@LegalTony @communicipalist @mrsDugskullery It does not “so closely resemble” when it says “shomrim”. That’s really the end of it.

@RHonMooncalf @jaimerh354 @communicipalist @mrsDugskullery I guess so.

@LegalTony @jaimerh354 @communicipalist @mrsDugskullery You're criminalising every security firm on that basis.

@jaimerh354 @communicipalist @mrsDugskullery Putting the genuine fear and safety of these communities to one side: the word “POLICE” may not be easily identifiable at a distance but colours, shapes and patterns are. Is there not merit that those are adopted to deceive… …whether morally justifiable or not?

@LegalTony @communicipalist @mrsDugskullery Police constables and other officers do not have “shomrim” written on their clothes and police vehicles. There is absolutely no way that a case could be made that this “so nearly resembles” a constable or is calculated to deceive.

@jaimerh354 @communicipalist @mrsDugskullery If you care to weigh in, do you care to elaborate?

@communicipalist @mrsDugskullery Absolutely nowhere near an offence under section 90.

@legalfutures Solicitors doing what and for whom exactly?

Half of clients think AI can replace solicitors zurl.co/8mqCA

The @CommonsTreasury committee has asked me to say this is the best link to use to feed in to their investigation forms.office.com/pages/response…

@joshjtrades @BobbuAlgae01 @Fongern_FX Made me chuckle

@BobbuAlgae01 @Fongern_FX Exactly but then they aren’t reserves anymore are they bob? My god

Oil not significantly in the red on a day when the world decides to release the largest oil reserves ever tells you all you need to know at this point.

@MEKowalski @MimiProbably 🤭

@MimiProbably I'm not seeing previous trade negotiation experience...

40 yrs. of experience at the highest levels of public service, including 2X as Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to Cabinet (Harper & Trudeau) and she served as High Commissioner to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and to Northern Ireland.

@sukh_saroy Who does one sue for negligence when the contract does not meet their expectation? For example, if a standard boilerplate clause does not practically work for the individual’s specific intended purposes and results in the contract being unenforceable?

I hope you've found this thread helpful. Follow me @sukh_saroy for more. Like/Repost the quote below if you can:

@aksunder @TrungTPhan “Based on her LinkedIn alone, I’m thinking they could cut 50 percent of their staff starting with her”. What was it on her LinkedIn profile that formed the basis of your opinion?

@TrungTPhan I follow one of their lawyers on linked in. Jessica Nguyen. It’s clear they are not working very hard. Based on her LinkedIn alone I’m thinking they could cut 50 percent of their staff starting with her. Nobody at Amazon has time for that kind of self promotion

Finally looked at how Docusign possibly employs 7,000 people. After reading their 10Ks, analyst reports and forums. I wrote on findings and regret to inform you it makes sense. readtrung.com/p/how-does-doc…

@CliveWismayer Seconded. Motion passed.

Step 1 - Europe boycotts the world cup Step 2 - the 16 countries that have qualified or will qualify (via the play offs) instead contest a European championship. Just think - a high class tournament with a manageable no. of teams rather than the bloated monster FIFA has puked up. Vote below 👇

@benrileysmith It’s not clear to my why Reform think anyone would want to vote for a new party name and not be aware of the toxic candidate on the ballot paper 🤷

Reform now has Boris Johnson’s… - chancellor (Zahawi) - communities sec (Jenrick) - culture sec (Dorries) - attorney general (Braverman) - political sec (Kruger) - skills minister (Jenkyns) - Northern powerhouse minister (Berry) - health minister (Caulfield) - parliamentary private sec (Nici) - assistant whip (Holloway) - Scottish minister (Offord) The old band getting back together
