I’m with you, but I think that has been true since at least the 18th Century.

Anyone got any thoughts on clean/green energy mid to long term?

Hope you didn’t put too much in :). Down 5% just today.

Still good compared to a year ago but painful in the last week. Told you I knew more about tech than investing.

Still think AI is a...

I’ve put email and VC systems into global companies for 30 years. Every time I did, travel increased as people started working more with people in the other offices.

I’ve come to think that it’s impossible to make money out of physical networks. Transport networks, telecomms networks, broadcast networks... We all rely on them and some people make money but the...

Sure. Just to be clear, I’ve never invested in Bitcoin or any other crypto. I’m pretty much retired now and as long as I can make 2% or 3% more than inflation then I will be very happy. I do have a...

If you want an AI tech fund on HL you could try Wisdom Tree Artificial Intelligence ETF (INTL). I got into it a few months before COVID because I have a tech background and thought this area of tech,...

Thanks, I appreciate the thoughtful answer. I agree about bankers seeming to get away with it.

If you don’t mind me asking, what is it about ‘the system’ that you don’t trust? I’m genuinely interested, not trying to make my own point. I understand there are a lot of sharks working in finance,...

Won’t people also spend even more on ‘assets’ that they think won’t depreciate, like classic cars and watches?

Come to think of it, could TZ-UK be the new WSB? We all pick a watch brand that has a...

As expected.

Cheers Raffe, that brings back some memories. Very early in my career I even went to the Stock Exchange before big bang and saw the jobbers and brokers doing it the old way. I remember TALISMAN...

If I remember rightly, in the days before the Big Bang (Stock Exchange not Hublot), settlement of share transactions took place every two weeks. Within that time shares could be sold and bought, with...

I’m a nice guy :).

They sound a bit star struck.

Ah, I didn’t know that. Who’d have thought it. Obviously not a secret. Presumably shareholders are happy knowing that even if Tesla is wiped out that Musk will still have benefited very substantially...

Based on my long past experience of my small company being acquired by a pump and dump merchant (if that’s what this is), the answer is pretty quickly once the principals have found a way to extract...

Nearly $5bn is from financing (new shares etc) plus they have cut their capital investment compared to a couple of years ago. Cash from operations is going up but not so fast. Makes you wonder what...

Because for a couple of decades it has been an abysmal company, run in the main by people who think that milking a monopoly entitles them to the same rewards as building and growing a great business.

But also expect the S&P to finish the year 2% higher than now (the article’s words not mine).

I don’t know about share prices or holiday travel, but I am assuming that business travel will be permanently reduced, based on doing lots of it myself and some insight from my work.

There have...

Perhaps lots of people just want somewhere to put their money, and don’t think the market can go down any more so FOMO takes over?

Perhaps they are right?

Raffe, I also agree you aren’t on your own. I’d love to believe that the markets will slowly recover from this point.

I’m listening to a senior WHO expert talk about what the next year is going...

...that it’s a complex subject worth investing some time to understand fully.

But in essence they are as bad as they seem, have been helped (sometimes inadvertently or ignorantly) by government...
