Yes, I was clumsily referring to the investor merely buying the PVP CTA fund and so not actually needing to do the TA themselves.

Money is evidence of debt, simple as that. If you think about how it comes into being - someone gives it to someone else when they have nothing the other party actually wants at the time - then that's all it is. Some people say that it's an unusual form of debt because, unlike banknotes where the risk is, theoretically, reduced by swapping personal IOUs for those of large and well-known organisations, which can average out the risk among many debtors (which is why I refer to banks as 'credit insurers'), the risk is spread among all the users of the tokens. However, in any case, there's no way that 'money' of any kind, even gold, can 'extinguish debt'. Ultimately, only desirable goods and services can do that and most of the economic sophistry you hear that attempts to make money sound like something other than debt is really about obfuscating that fact, in order to justify debasement by issuing credit to cover for a lack of capital in the economy.

I've lived in about 12 countries all over the word in my life as a kid, single, and married. I could write a book. I loved it and am pleased I did it but there are plenty of pitfalls and it has to be for the right type and for the right reasons. Regardless, it certainly is not easy for any decent length of time.

Eh? That's not right. These are typically CTA funds which typically use TA in some form (given trend/momentum is based on price/volume). But yes, generally funds not available in wrappers (there are a few potential trend funds but we stopped looking once we saw the performance stats). AIUI, PVP outsource this part but do also have their own managed value funds which are not based on TA (other than maybe assisting in entries and exits). Yes, you can't fully diy these trend/momentum funds in a wrapper as they are usually derivative based. We use no derivatives, just trend/momentum investing with the instruments available within the various wrappers. We have an options accout if we want to broaden our reach.

They have been bought and sold, by a con man , they have problems for sure but the IMF have never sorted out those sort of problems in any other way bar selling off the countries assets The Argies visited China the other day to talk about currency swaps and explain their plans ,they were wished "the best of luck with that " They withdrew their membership of BRICS ,which was something Miele campaigned on the opposite of along with sacking/dissolving their central bank but to be fair he might have done that and handed control of their currency to the dollar ,how can a country ever be sovereign if you rely on another country to create your currency ?

I think we should give the shabbiest shabbos a chance

Was that made and endorsed by the IMF by any chance ,you do know on the inflation side that the daily limit from a cash point will barley buy two cups of coffee now ,hence the "dollarization" It`s basically an advert saying Argentina is for sale come and get your bargains here

Brazil obviously! Whilst earning in USD of course

Good video on the potential rise of Argentina. 16m 18s "In this video, we will explore how Argentina's economic mismanagement has led to numerous crises, that pushed a once prosperous nation into a series of defaults, inflation, and political turmoil. We'll discuss Javier Milei’s bold plans to revitalize the economy through deregulation, privatization, and dollarization. Additionally, we'll examine Argentina's vast potential as an agricultural and energy powerhouse, and the geopolitical implications of its resurgence."

In times past I would agree,but we are living in very strange times and having options to move elsewhere is probably a good idea. The question is where!

Thank you. I rest my case.

Because i have children,grandchildren and a partner here.I would never leave my children here by choice given where we are heading.I have 3 very very good friends who were ex bar girls.One was a bar girl,then ran two of the biggest Agogo clubs in Pattaya.She trusts me and tells me everything ,so i know what drives it all.Most go there because their Thai boyfriends/husbands beat the crap out of them and so they leave,but have no income.Most/all send the money home,and although they would not choose the job of course,most prefer it to a beating from their exes.The 3 i know had similar lives to me and my hometown in many ways,doing what you need to to survive.They are amazing women,and i respect them probably more than any women i know.iv always found in life,if you show genuine interest in people,show them respect,learn who they are,then you grow yourself as a person.Yes some sickos go there,but its quite small,mostly its lonely sub 5 men.Not uber chads like us lot on here

If you don't require friends or socialising it's fine though. Indeed, arguably an improvement.

Moving to another country is mostly for dreamers. It never happens. But it's nice to chat about it, and it produces a warm, fuzzy feeling over a beer.

Portugal have quite good incentives tax wises for those wishing to retire there

@DurhamBorn, you are the chairman of this thread, and a genius, in my view. You upvoted the quoted post, so my question is why you have not moved to Thailand?

They have been consuming more and more for a decade or more they are by far the largest manufacturer of EV`s in the world ,they produce more than all the other countries combined now whens the last time you seen a Chinese branded car on the road here ? they are the largest export market for European made cars as well ,the China has now internal consumption is a myth,could it increase ,i would bet money on it doing so ,their next main goal/plan is social housing Whats changed is they have rotated trade away from their dependence of the west to Asia , south America , Africa etc over the last decade They have adopted the Henry ford model in all those countries ,they have opened up more factories in Afghanistan since the USA left than every nation combined have in the last two hundred years if not ever ,they don`t give those countries "aid" that will be squandered and stolen, they build infrastructure ,they know if they do this they will be their customers of the future Edit to add the video below i could not find it first time around This is why you never get to hear what the Chinese actually say ,if you look for it you will see they are consistent in their message and their actions back it up

I was looking into the tax implications of moving to Poland, at the moment my Pension would be taxed at 12% in Poland but I would have to take the 25% tax free lump sum in the UK before I leave otherwise I'd be subject to Polish taxes. I really see no way out for the UK, to be honest many of the indigenous Brits are too brainwashed to see any of the dangers of letting in milions of third-worders. Carlisle is changing beyond all recognition, I can't drive anywhere around the City centre without seeing gangs of gimmegrants.

Generation? By Btl you mean IO Btl, therss a difference. Io Btl which is an extremely insanely leveraged position. S24 totally wankered Io Btl. Hmrc are still working thru the list. Majority of IO Btl was operating on sub 4% yield and needed 3% SVR.. Those are long gone. Io Btl positions are sucking in cash. Like resi, a most of IO Btl have 2-5y fixes. These will end over next 3 years. Then there's the biggy. Io Btl lending only happened cos banks had never done it before, so could make up Bullshit void n loss scenarios. Io Btl loans are going bad at a rapid rate. And IO Btl ramped up from 2002. The initial batch of loans are coming to term. The LL has to pay them back. Typical io btl was 45+. They'll be 70+ now. No chance of remortgaging. So, LL are failing to meet the repayments. They are also starting to fail to repay the loan owed. Clusterfuck. Which will see the capital banks have to hold against the Io loan book shot up, increasing the SVR even more. They'll all burn.

It's also reality.

Stop that shite in this thread. It's pathetic. I am all for banter but that drags everything down. A real low

If i didnt have the kids and grandkids who i fear i might/will have to defend at some point,or my partner id be off to Thailand.I might or might not if i did buy a cheap one bed flat here in case i wanted to return and maybe do half and half.I just thought yesterday in Tesco,this country is gone.Big fat Africans,most English women over 35 like house ends,half the young lads like soft dough balls.

Iv been saying for a long time China would move to consume more and that would drive the economy from their huge savings rates.The MSM of course telling everyone the opposite .The numbers are obvious ,and like you say deflation in prices,they are getting much better off all the time.Thats what building power plants gets you.Out polos are just a cult,same as the unis.the worst part is its them who suffer least from their mental illness,ordinary workers are taking the pain.

That`s where the real power is for sure ,the shit show of the last four years and continuing has been all about those powers being challenged and nothing else

But you can fuck desperate kids for cheap...
