Morning all, not too bad considering gold price, hopefully won't go down too much, although FED later this week etc- be amazing if they delay hike... mist likely not, let's hope any downside factored in.

Fang - A rail link direct from the UK to China for all but the biggest and heaviest loads I think is better then via sea, definitely much, much quicker and the cargo will be able to go from UK town to a town in China with out the need of being loaded and off loaded several times.

Rather we didnt have a second Channel tunnel thanks.

Far better to get building up some port facilities instead to take more sea borne traffic.

cas - Agreed, however we can not just sit back and stagnate on our 'Great.'

The problem I see with Britain is we still invent more things then any other country, unlike during the Georgian and Victorian times sadly our inventions are brought to commercial use by other countries, therefore benefiting the other country more than Britain.

Via asset back money the infrastructure projects I would like see being built in Britain are, a second channel tunnel, train link Gatwick-Heathrow-Luton-Standstead-Southend Airports, HS2 London-Birmingham Airport with a spur down to Heathrow-Birmingham-Manchester Airport-Manchester then with just one or two stops west to Liverpool and Glasgow and East up to Edinburgh. Finally a rail tunnel linking Scotland to Northern Ireland.

The Victorians did awesome things but a lot of it was paid for by riches gained through the spoils from war and colonisation. Health and safety, child protection, the environment etc were only just beginning to be considered then (many of those spearheaded by the British). As it is st Patrick's day today might spare a thought for all the Irish labourers who died or were maimed building much of the Victorian splendour.

I have my doubts about HS2. But Crossrail is an awesome achievement and is set to be a major step change which could transform what we think of now as London beyond recognition.

It's great that other countries have caught up with the likes of UK and even gone a bit beyond in certain areas. That doesn't make us less 'Great', imo.

Britain became great when we're quickly building up our infrastructure, first the canals then from 1840 to 1880 came the railways. After 50 years, Britain still doesn't have a South Coast motorway, the Channel Tunnel is almost operating at full capacity and we need another one, sadly no finance can be found to build a second tunnel across the channel. A second tunnel can easily be funded with asset backed money, on some of the British bank notes could be annotated CT2 (Channel Tunnel 2) so the owner of a £10 note with CT2 on it would own £10 of the tunnel.

cas - Not entirely true when it comes to Russia - as when the motorway from Moscow to St Petersburg was being build the direct route took it through a nature reserve. Not to do so Putin personally ordered the motorway to go round the reserve which added an extra 9km to the length of the motorway.

China and Russia are becoming more and more environmentally friendly while the USA are becoming less so. Because of the steel tariffs US steel is now able to bring back on line their Granite City works, which is the least productive and least energy efficient large steel mill in the world.

Personal Property, look at Spain and the Valencia land grab. If they want to build a road and it goes through the middle of your land, it can and will be taken from you at no recompense to the owner and even worse the ex-owner then has to pay for the section of road going through their land. 75% of all share boiler room scams come from Spain. Many local municipalities in Spain are bankrupt because officials both elected and unelected have stolen all the municipalities money. Officially Spain is the 4th worse corrupt country in the world, just slightly less corrupt then countries like Afghanistan.

[casual47] 17/3/2018 09:38

China has similarly effective infrastructure projects.

I suppose there are some benefits to living in a country that doesn't respect democratic principles, human rights, environmental considerations or personal property, right?!

Off topic for a minute...


HS2 - 20 years of looking into this project and not a foot of track has been laid and will now cost £50bln.

From planing to being up and running Russia built their high speed train from Moscow to St Petersburg in 3 years and now plan to build a high speed train between Moscow and Kazan. The 770Km (470 miles) will cost $15bln (£11.5bln) which includes €2.7bln for the rolling stock being built in Germany - as the Russians keep saying "sanctions...what sanctions!

Airports - 40 years what are we going to do when it comes to the London airports, in the mean time over the past 10 years, St Petersburg and all 3 Moscow airports have been completely rebuilt and a 4th Moscow airport just coming on line.

It seems to me that Putin is loving the UK government at the moment, because of the threat of ceasing the assets of Russian Oligarchs. The UK Government by giving advanced warning has so far this year allowed these Oligarchs to bring home to Russia £20bln from the UK to be invested in Russia.

Hi Loganair- I've posted a few times, I don't do charts, they are great for people finding a reason for explaining the past in patterns but for me do not predict the future form the now, so I ignore- I follow the now and future possibilities.

[loganair] 16/3/2018 17:28

Bonnard - Many thanks, I will take a look. It was more of a general question rather than something particular to do with HGM.

[bonnard] 16/3/2018 17:19

loganair,

If you look at the HGM price between April and May 2017, then it went from 180 to 140 and to 160. These are the same prices as occurred between January and March this year.

So if you want to use charting, then all you need to do is look what happened after May 2017 ....... the price fell back to 140.

I hope this helps.

[loganair] 16/3/2018 16:58

steve - You may know the answer to this question!

What does it mean when the 50 day moving average is closing in on the 200 day moving average?

I know what these averages are, however what does it mean for the likely move of an asset when the 50 day in moving down towards the 200 day?

[stevedaytrader] 16/3/2018 16:52

Wow, thanks SR- ace close. :-). Have a good weekend all.

Good finish, I think at ~159.9. All goldies held reasonably considering gold price. 15days ago we were ~140 so all good- next week will be interesting, hopefully any downside already factored in, but impossible to tell.
SR- yes, why did we draw the favs, nightmare but at least I've less travel to make!! I was hoping for Barca as only seen Messi once, when we thumped them at Wembley- ok so it was only a friendly lol.

[chipperfrd] 16/3/2018 16:12

Personally, I think the world has gone completely bonkers re digital tokens!

I was in Iceland in January. Down in the SW of the island I could see multiple bitcoin miner setups with thousands of computers powered by 'cheap' hydrothermal energy, trying to generate new tokens. Apparently they collectively use more energy than the entire rest of Iceland!! Completely bonkers!

And then there are all the 1,000's of other cryptos, all trying to repeat the madness which propelled BTC up to c. US$20,000.

I expect this period will go down in history as yet another 'mad' bubble and arguably the biggest and maddest of them all, although the 'dot-com' one will take some beating.

Well congrats, I'm only double on HGM excl. divis- fingers crossed - have crypto as I say is a gamble, I only put £10k and of course I wish I'd taken it out when it just over £100k but live and learn, hence only a tiny part of my investments (although I include along with my footie gamble funds!). As I have said many times, I do not see crypto in the same way as other investments, doesn't stop me doing it though. Meantime, back to HGM, we seem to be holding up OK for now considering gold price, as are all my other goldies.

[loganair] 16/3/2018 15:26

steve - looking at it another way, there is more likelihood that bitcoin could fall to Zero than HGM falling to Zero.

I am happy in 2 1/2 years that my investment in HGM is up 5x's excluding any dividend payments.
