I’ve just tanked 5.5% today. But that’s because a rocket just fell over, and a big chunk of my risky stuff relies on rockets not falling over ![]()
Gold has gone up quite sharply since the 18th.
Considering equities and bonds are largely positively correlated, gold is a fantastic hedge
I do wonder what was actually discussed. Hopefully it’s just Mark Rutte knowing how to play Trump like a fiddle. Suck up to him and pretend to give him the world, but then do nothing.
I think the EU pulling out of the other trade deal may have been a big force to stop some of his nonsense.
@Baldrick there, providing all the necessary commentary on Trump’s second term in 2 messages.
“Donald, you can put whatever military equipment you want on Greenland, for free. Why are you trying to piss away $700 billion?”
And not letting him know this is basically the deal they already have!
That’s sounding more and more likely to be what he’s agreed to.
Man he’s dumb.
Trump confused Greenland with Iceland multiple times during his nonsense speech in Davos, too.
Dementia Don really showing his symptoms more and more.
Media reports suggest “ceding” small pockets territory (similar to say Akrotiri) for military bases?
They handed back loads of bases not that long ago.
Trying to catch up on the day’s shenanigans, I read that as God!
Life hack: Russian ships are free, you can just take one.
This might be my million pounds idea
Has anyone else noticed that Trump genuinely sounds unwell in his talks over the past couple of days?
Yeah I agree, I don’t know what I find more worrying about that though…
The fact that it very much seems to be the case, or the fact that the majority of the US government apparatus (hell and a good chunk of the citizens of his party) seem not to care.
