Democracy and free enterprise reinforce each otherFEBRUARY 4, 2023 13 COMMENTSMarkets are economic democracy in action. Free  enterprise Is essential to democracy, the other side of the same coin. Free enterprise and democracy are the strawberries and cream of the styles of government. In a democracy people have a say in who governs them. Because they can vote an elected official  out of office, they can individually and with others influence the debate or persuade the representative  to take their views seriously and to help them with their problems. Living in a free market, the same individuals can choose to spend their money as they see fit, helping summons more supply from the market as they with others concert their buying. They are free to offer their labour where they wish and to take a job that suits them best from those on offer.  They can set up in business for themselves, providing new products and services to the market. The more democratic and economic freedom people enjoy, the more overall freedom they experience. Freedom allows choices, brings opportunities and helps find solutions.            Autocracy, Communism and fascism  cannot  allow democracy and have to control, direct and own enterprise. Communism in the USSR  killed the independent farmers of Russia, nationalised industries and stole private property. Communism in China  controls prices, takes over businesses, scythes the tall  poppies of the residual private sector. Autocrats do not like successful entrepreneurs. They  want to be seen to be the source of all people need in life, so they can demand loyalty and obedience. Citizens in communist systems may be told where they have to work. They may need travel permits to move from their home city or town. They may find goods and services are rationed or limited in supply. They have no say over who governs them and little say over how they are governed. They need to mind their words as well as their deeds. They are required to conform to state standards and mouth state views.         Free enterprise means anyone  can join the market to buy a good or service they want, or to sell one to others. In a free market all have equal access subject to price. If something is wanted and scarce the price will rise and more supply will then become available. If something is in glut its price will fall and supply will contract. Price changes will also affect demand, increasing it at lower prices and rationing it at higher. For individuals the market is the way they can have access to many of the things that make life pleasant without having to produce them themselves. Individuals and society are much the richer for exchange of services and goods, allowing specialisation, the transfer of skills and innovations, the accumulation of capital to reap the economies of scale, and to focus the best answers.The danger is that political parties in democracies can demand too many controls and rules, limiting the choices of others and reducing the very freedoms essential to successful democracy....

Britain's most controversial landlord.

As everyone knows, Lloyds is venturing into the private landlord sector through Citra Living. I remember watching this Panorama programme a few years ago. My favorite quote from the landlord in question is......"there are 2 kinds of tenants, those that agree with me, and ex tenants". Worth a watch.

Careless
Historical guidance serves no purpose.
AI of all things may enable but just like the horses - there are always hurdles.

Easy to say we should stay in the market, it can't be timed.
Of course it can.

Sell the FTSE100 at 7600 or above, buy at below 6000, even more at below 5000 would have served you well over the past few 25 years.

These snake oil salesmen say it costs us a fortune if we miss the best 20 days.
They never say we save a bigger fortune by missing the worst 20 days.

Greed really is good...we really do live in an utterly selfish world...

Mike Bell, global market strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, says January’s blowout jobs report is dampening hopes that interest rates may be cut this year.

Bell says:

“The much stronger than expected job gains took US equity futures lower, this is evidence that the big risk to markets this year is not a recession but a labour market that remains robust. This would mean the Fed cannot deliver the rate cuts that the market is pricing in.
“Ultimately, we still expect unemployment to rise this year and think that equity markets should deliver positive returns as they look ahead to the Fed cutting rates and potential economic recovery in 2024. But today’s data show the risks of being overweight growth stocks if the labour market remains strong.”
