How many "key meetings" can one mortal Human attend before being broken like a Butterfly on a Wheel?
Discuss. |
That's huuuuge news! Whoosh!
GLA LTHers! |
Andrew Bell 'X' -
I have a ministerial meeting scheduled for Mon/Tues. Awaiting the formal invitation.
Another key implementation meeting shortly (after some hours waiting in ante room last night,
we were told 'this security meeting could go on till 3, so best we meet late morning tomorrow' -
meaning today after 11).
There's a war on, and our interlocutors are the very people dealing with commissariat and
planning at the Govt level.....so we get the available time, but always at risk of reschedule.
Small in the scheme of things but from our management pov a great nuisance...

"the recent AB pump"
Our Ettie has never done such a thing. What a preposterous suggestion!
Ettie still in Kinshasa working away with the president and not to return to these shores without the money. Good man. |
First Equity is an Investment Manager of Armstrong Investments Limited.
Holdings are as Nortrust Nominees. The Estate of William Black are shareholders in Nortrust.
First Equity continues to manage the Estate on behalf of Nortrust.
Yesterday First Equity raised the shareholding of the Estate in NOSTRUM OIL & GAS PLC.
Reduced shareholding in Surface Transforms:
William Black sadly passed after November 15, 2024, having increased holding in Surface Transforms: and THERACRYF PLC
The Estate of William Black raised shareholding in GeTech Group:
Raised Holding in Red Rock Resources PLC:
From the above, First Equity managers of Armstrong Investments continue trading on behalf of Nortrust Nominees.
Managers of the Estate of William Black are also shareholders of Nortrust Nominees as is The Estate of William Black.
Rath Dhu Limited replaced Armstrong Investments in this transaction for Nortrust Nominees on behalf of The Estate of William Black:
Nortrust Nominees: |
I've sold 2/3 of my small punt here now,I predict the recent AB pump may be to clear out Black's holding without crashing the price. |
Whatever it is I hope you get on an even keel speedily. |
Thank you kemche. All well - I'm not at all sure. Anyway, I guess others carry on regardless.
Red Rock blunders on. |
Welcome back Noirua. Hope all is well. |
Southern Cross Gold Consolidated ASX:SX2 TSXV:SXGC. The company was born out of a merger
of Southern Cross Gold Limited and Mawson Gold. Mention was made of interest in a deal to
purchase NBGC or part of the company. This interest may have turned to an alternative option to
bid for Red Rock Resources. Red Rock mentioned talks at an early stage a while ago and recently
interest in further talks on the sale of assets.
The main interests held by NBGC RRAL are Kilmore-Donnybrook and Berringa. |
Dont apologise mate - i like your posts. Utter randomness as a rule.
Makes a nice change from the Pumpy Dumpy Sweary nonsense that infects these boards. |
Understood Affe. Sorry. |
Maybe Kemche - is it the one next to the irreverent personal musings forum? :-D
And FYI - it's economics not politics ;-) |
Looking at the trades this morning, leaving aside the question of why anyone would buy these at all, why were so many tiny purchases and a couple of tiny sales put through at the same time? |
Isn't there a forum for political debate? |

All interesting Information welcome,
The National debt is not a great indicator of anything much at all on it's own. Manageable debt through the National Debt/GDP ratio has meaning. Generally speaking keeping it at under 90% is OK but going over that starts ringing alarms, particularly over 100%. As the US Dollar is the global currency it can withstand higher ratios, but only for a time.
Biden took that ratio up to a highly unaffordable and dangerous 130%.
Hence the racking up of another Trillion Dollars of debt every 100 days. Disastrous !!
Try looking up that ratio. It would be more interesting.
NOTE. Putting Fact Check or Fact gives no credibility to any post, quite the opposite.
The plans and data/numbers and what comes next for Trumps announced and future policies are held by his staff and are not in the public domain.
Second guessing is just that, guessing .
. |
Anyway - back to the lovely RRR - what's happening? |
Fact check 3:
"And then there’s the best-case scenario. Trump wins this “trade war” quickly and instead of huge tariffs, he puts lower tariffs on every country’s goods and services. That tariff money flows into the USA. It replaces taxes paid by American taxpayers. Suddenly Trump can either dramatically lower taxes, or end income taxes and eliminate the IRS."
FACT:
U.S. imports for 2022 was $3,966.17B, a 16.37% increase from 2021.
U.S. imports for 2021 was $3,408.28B, a 22.75% increase from 2020.
U.S. imports for 2020 was $2,776.50B, a 10.92% decline from 2019.
U.S. imports for 2019 was $3,116.95B, a 0.45% decline from 2018.
In fiscal year (FY) 2024, the government spent $6.75 trillion, which was more than it collected (revenue), resulting in a deficit.
FACT - How exactly will Trump raise $6.75 TRILLION from 'Lower Tarriffs' on $$3.1 Trillion?
Those Tariffs would need to be around 200% and lets face it - that will spike inflation and kill the US economy as there will be repurcussions. |
In real $$ terms (not adjusted for inflation etc) Biden racked up an eye watering $4,738,415,474,674.48
Roughly the same as George W, Less than Trump and sorry but that wasnt all on Covid.
Obviously theres lies, damn lies and statistics so do your own research but.... DO your own research dont just accept what the loudest shouter says - fact check it. |

Look at the National Debt of the US by President:
hxxps://www.investopedia.com/us-debt-by-president-dollar-and-percentage-7371225
If we ignore 2nd World War then in descending order of Presidents who Increase Debts (in % terms of debt at start of office):
Reagan (Republican), 2 terms - 160.8%
W Bush (Republican), 2 terms - 72.6%
Obama (Democrat), 2 Terms - 64.4%
H.W.Bush (Republican), 1 Term 42.3%
Nixon (republican), Vietnam War, 1 Term - 34.3%
Trump (Republican), Covid, 1 Term -33.1%
Carter - (democrat), 1 Term, 30%
Clinton (Democrat), 2 Terms, 28.6%
Biden (Democrat), 1 Term, 16.7%
SO..........the accusation that Biden was 'responsible for huge national debt' is clearly not true. In true terms (increase) the fault lays at Reagan for starting the process, followed by Bush Jnr, Obama, Bush Snr, then Trump (though he does have Covid as an excuse) and finally Clinton then Biden.
In fact - the Republicans are responsible for the bulk of the National Debt growth ignoring WW2 & Vietnam.
SO pls get your facts straight, dont believe everything these Populist Megaphones shout at you - check some facts! |
