  • The latest inflation figures are out, and the UK government is celebrating hitting their 2% target. But the headline figure is far from the whole story.

    Every crash/collapse/inflation/recession provides an equal market opportunity if you are properly prepared and knowledgeable. I've seen people amass up to $800,000 during crises and even with ease in a bad economy. Someone has undoubtedly become extremely wealthy as a result of the crash.

      Prices will never go back to where they were in the past. As inflation cools, it just means prices will still keep rising, just slower. What you are asking is negative inflation. The last time this happened was during the great depression in the 1930s. Instead, you want your income go up at least the same pace with inflation, else you are getting poorer.

    Great work as usual Damien. If I got the data right, the inflation drop is due mostly to energy prices drop, which are influenced by the market. However, the rising housing cost (like rents and mortgages) that area also affecting inflation are a direct consequence of BOE decision of raising rates.
    So the BOE says that they are rising rates to kick inflation out of the front door, but as a side (?) effect they are bringing it back from the window with the rise in OOH. Am I right?
    PS: I am Italian and I like Cheddar, but Parmesan is overall better 😜

    What are people’s thoughts on what happens next? If owner occupiers housing costs increases as a consequence of higher interest rates it feels like inflation will go up but BoE can’t increase further as then that further increases housing costs inflation. How do you beat this cycle? Lower interest rates? Do nothing for 2-3 years
    Frustrating that the US doesn’t have this issue due to 30 year mortgages.

    Spot on Damien, on the government's lies!
    However, on Cheddar cheese, as an Italian, I'd like to express my opinion. It's important to note that taste preferences are subjective, and what someone considers "better" can vary. However, I can provide some general characteristics that people often appreciate in Parmesan compared to Cheddar.
    Aging process: Parmesan cheese typically undergoes a longer aging process than Cheddar. The aging contributes to a more concentrated flavor and a crumbly texture. Some people enjoy the complexity and depth of taste that comes with a longer aging period.
    Umami richness: Parmesan has a distinct umami flavor, which is often described as savory and robust. This umami richness can enhance the overall taste of dishes. Cheddar, while flavorful in its own right, may not have the same depth of umami.
    Texture: Parmesan is known for its granular and crumbly texture, making it easy to grate or shave over dishes. This texture can provide a different mouthfeel compared to the smoother and creamier texture of Cheddar. The granular texture can also add a pleasant crunch to certain dishes.
    Versatility: While both Parmesan and Cheddar are versatile cheeses, Parmesan's intense flavor can make it a standout ingredient in certain dishes. It is often used to add a bold kick to pasta dishes, salads, and soups, whereas Cheddar might be preferred for its meltability in things like grilled cheese sandwiches.
    Again, it's crucial to remember that taste is highly subjective, and some people may prefer the milder taste and creamier texture of Cheddar over the bold and crumbly nature of Parmesan. It ultimately comes down to personal preference and the specific culinary application.
