    The UK's economy is currently damaged in so many ways that it's almost hard to keep track, but one metric is more important than many others - gilt markets. So let's explain what they are and why the Bank of England just had to take huge action.

    I've seen people make seven-figure profits in both declining and rising markets; it all depends on the information and methods used. There is no doubt that the recession and crisis haven’t benefited some people significantly.

      Having the necessary strategy to profit in this market is one thing, but having access to exclusive market information that isn't disclosed to the public is quite another, which is why the pros are crushing it this time.

      I try to see a financial coach before making any investment decisions because of this. I've been using one since the pandemic outbreak because their entire business strategy is based on trading long and short at the same time, employing profit-driven strategies and reducing risk as a safeguard against unavoidable downtrends. Furthermore, because they have access to insider information and analysis, it is practically impossible for them to perform poorly. I made over $2 million after nearly three years of training with a coach.

      Like the people in 1994-5 who knew that Tories were going to be out in 1997 but couldn't do anything to get an early election to speed it up, we're just gonna have to accept the fact that we're stuck with the Tories until December 2024/January 2025.

This is a regular occurrence in democracies, especially if your population is uneducated. It turns out that popularity contests don't really produce competent leaders.

Look at a lot of FTSE 100 companies they are a reporting pre pandemic revenue but slightly down in value but are valued a third of 1/3 of what they used to be. Don't look to markets for logic.
      The UK economy has stagnated for years, I don't really understand how more of the same which wasn't working, is seen as a good thing.
      The 45% tax cut wasn't the right thing to do but a lot of the other stuff was. UK is poor at growing businesses, need to try encourage them. So keeping the cooperation tax low I think is better, not paying NI on the first 50k of a new employee is a really good idea.
      Whether these are the right or wrong decision you can't just change based on the market reaction because they get things wrong all the time.

    • @BambiTrout
      @BambiTrout Рік тому +2

      @@cup1966wow Cutting tax rates on the highest earners is supply-side economics - trickle down. It gives more money to the rich in the hope that it will drive investment and boost the economy, which sounds great...
      ...except the problem with the UK economy is DEMAND-side - i.e. people don't have enough money to buy goods and services even with full time jobs, meaning businesses aren't seeing enough customers, and profits are tumbling REGARDLESS OF INVESTMENT.
      So what this tax cut does is a) create a massive deficit, and b) does nothing to solve the actual problem. More private sector investment alone is at best just a temporary patch on the issue - it refills the draining money pit for a bit longer - at the cost of further straining the public services that low-income families 100% depend on to survive. Billionaires already had plenty to invest; most saw their wealth DOUBLE during the pandemic, while the rest of us saw stagnant wages and rising costs of living.
      What would actually help the economy is tax cuts on the POOR, an increase to the minimum wage, and investment in the PUBLIC sector, all of which would allow more people to actively engage in the economy and get buying things again. This would be funded by a tax INCREASE on the WEALTHY, and a windfall tax on the oil and gas companies who continue to price gouge. This is the plan which the Tories have been dodging around since COVID, with only Rishi Sunak even coming close to proposing it. I really dislike the prick, but at least he was a competent economist.
      Truss' mini-budget does nothing except concentrate more money in the hands of an even smaller few, in the absurd hope that by unshackling their ability to gift themselves vast sums of cash, that they will suddenly Robin Hood themselves, out of the goodness of their hearts. When the problem is insufficient economic activity, combined with public sector workers having to work multiple jobs just to pay for the fuel to get to the schools and hospitals they work at, you don't fix it by giving bankers and hedge fund managers a tax rebate - they're not the ones struggling and they never were. Also, no matter how wealthy someone is, they will only buy so many iPhones and Lamborghinis. 1 billionaire might have 20 sports cars and 3 phones. 10,000 people with £100,000 might have 10,000 cars and 10,000 phones. The same wealth split between more people means more people buying consumer goods, more people buying houses, more people setting up businesses - more economic activity. Truss has done the opposite, and has seen the market contract accordingly.
      What I am proposing and EVERYONE ELSE is proposing is not "more of the same" - it's "ANYTHING but this". Even more of the same would have been far less destructive. When everyone in the entire world is calling you literally insane after just 3 weeks in office, you DO NOT stay the course. Truss is putting out a fire with petrol and saying she's willing to burn everyone's houses down as long as it stops the fire. This isn't Thatcherism. This isn't even Reaganism. This is just pure idiocy.

    But the bond coupon is far lower than inflation rate, so even the bond holders are losing wealth, on top of employees.
    So only stock shares rewarding over 10% will offset the loss of purchasing power caused by inflation, but assuming far more risk, as risk is rewarded with higher rates.

      You're right, but the bugger is that Sunak's economic credentials were already a joke with the public since he was already responsible for a massive *increase* in taxes as chancellor so he was seen as an easier opponent for Labour. There was also that leaked video of him diverting leveling-up funding to wealthier districts, but his chances were pretty much shot by that point anyway, and he's a political naif in the bargain (also his skin is a decidedly un-Prime Ministerial colour for many Tories).
      So it's pretty clear why they went for Truss, but they had no good choices.
