Seems a reasonable consideration to buy Greenland. Depends on a referendum of The People who live there.. Good Luck

Always leave part of the portfolio liquid so that if a correction happens then you can take the opportunity to invest cheaply.

I always have liquidity via cash and short-term bonds/gilts/treasuries. Of course Buffett had the perfect liquid reserves in his insurance assets with forward cash flow on insurance premiums. Clever boy.

Now that it seems that Greenland is not up for sale there is an idea that Trump should buy Ireland. If that does not work BoJo is reported to have an idea. What’s Boris Johnson’s big idea to replace the backstop? Allies tell me (TND) he wants a bilateral agreement with Ireland that will see Dublin diverge from EU rules temporarily to share a common rule book with the UK.
The silly season is not just the demain of F1.

Nothing remotely like the 1930's...yes he must be REALLY old.

Brilliant analysis of "if Boris will bottle it" Pete...My thoughts exactly.

Nowt to worry about.

O/T but a new blood test is said to very accurately predict if you will be dead within the next ten years! Well at least you can have a better strategy towards what’s important in life I suppose.

Adding to #056 the triggers for any such move are always hidden. If they were in plain sight then the market would have already adjusted. The $64k question is to identify them before anyone else. ;)

Just the European Commission and rulers, the people are in general great, i love most of Italy,France,Spain,Portugal,Greece, not sure about Belgium and have travelled all over, had loads of great skiing hols in the Alps and Pyrenees.
Europe is great,the EU is doomed.

My comment on the start ups was valid and your straw-man response is irrelevant.

[alphorn] 21/8/2019 10:38

Ladeside - interest rates were quite different in those years although the rate setting arrangements were quite different to today. Gold links are also different of course. Sterling devalued in 1931 which caused turmoil.
I agree with your conclusion but believe that the triggers will be very different to those years.

[123trev] 21/8/2019 10:37

No point being afraid if it’s ten years away though!

[willoicc] 21/8/2019 10:36

Wow, Ladeside you must be really, really old.

[ladeside] 21/8/2019 10:32

Reading this board and the views of the majority coupled with the general feeling across Europe and the macro financial climate, I can see HUGE similarities to the 1930's.

Nobody saw it coming at the time back then and it's pretty similar now.

Be afraid, be very afraid..........

Not seen grahamite for a while - I hope that he is enjoying a vacation and nothing more.

More stupidity from WBecki.

The post of the day so far is #040.


The physical location of start-ups is generally not important. The ideas are bought and most often are very portable. How many ideas (start-ups) actually stay in the place of discovery?

Soon online speech will be regulated by Brussels.

German chancellor says the EU would think about "practical solutions" regarding post-Brexit Irish border

[maxk] 21/8/2019 10:19

Min.

Would you prefer that the start ups go somewhere else?
