Nope, Cathie Wood was placed on a pedestal in today’s wokerati world a few years back, but she’s just shit. Really shit. Lost investors absolute fuckloads of billions. Her funds consist of 2021 meme stocks that spiked in covid lockdown and she keeps doubling down regardless. The nerve of one of my colleagues who even said back in 2021 that she was ‘right’ over my portfolio loaded up with PMs, oil and baccy. Imagine being a ‘tech’ fund manager and selling Nvidia at its lowest before the run and piling into Tesla at its highest. It’s not just that, she’s now a counter indicator like Jim Cramer. I would forgive tin foiled hatted types who believe she’s being paid by Blackrock or someone to destruct wealth.

He’s probably right without even knowing it. Just think of all the migration to offset the population decline and the growing proportion of generational benefit families by then compounded. The majority of the country with have nothing (or minimal NEST 16hr week tax credit) in their pensions. Make no mistake that it will be those that have prepared will be the ones led to the sacrificial slaughter (eg UBI, and CBDCs)

Got a mate that I asked about contributions he makes to his DC scheme, something like 100 a month and he thinks that’ll be enough. It’s amazing how little people look into it.

another 'no sh1t sherlock' moment from the 'white' team. a fine example of how 'tax the rich' ends in people leaving,skill shortages and lower tax take it's not jsut the people leaving,it's the people not coming. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/more-1-000-higher-rate-153622635.html More than 1,000 higher rate taxpayers fled Scotland to the rest of the UK after Nicola Sturgeon’s government introduced two more income tax bands, a Treasury analysis has estimated. A paper by UK government economists found the changes introduced in 2018-19 led to 1,030 higher earners moving south, costing Scotland £61 million in tax receipts that year. The Treasury analysis found “no reliable evidence of a change in net cross-border migration” for those paying the new 19 per cent starter rate, on income between £11,850 and £13,850, or the new 21 per cent intermediate rate that applied between £24,000 and £43,430. For those on the highest salaries, earning more than £500,000, the analysis also found a “statistically significant fall in in-migration in 2018 to 2019.” The report said this was “consistent with the assumption that the highest earning individuals in the UK chose not to move to Scotland to avoid the higher tax burden.” Changes were detected for those paying the increased 41p higher rate – 1p more than south of the border – which applied to income between £43,430 and £150,000. For those on the highest salaries, earning more than £500,000, the analysis also found a “statistically significant fall in in-migration in 2018 to 2019.” The report said this was “consistent with the assumption that the highest earning individuals in the UK chose not to move to Scotland to avoid the higher tax burden.” Partly thanks to the lower salary threshold, around 500,000 Scots are liable to pay the higher rate. The Treasury analysis estimated there was a “loss” to Scotland in 2018-19 of 60 workers who earned more than £500,000 and would have been liable to pay the 46p top rate that applied that year. Their departure cost the Scottish Government £38 million in lost tax revenue.

Not much sympathy (except for the horses) - too much productive land in this overcrowded country is given over to grazing horses. Bit like golf course, can be put to better use.

yeah, that's very true. except, of course, all the times they have fucked up, lost, been embarrassed, etc.

I preferred the one with the mummy.

Don't be daft. They'll abolish RNHS before they stop paying lazy arses to hang about all day.

Does "win" include S+P down -80% and ABRDN down -79% ? I'm winning on VOD at the moment.

Posted in the "Covid 1984" by @MrXxxx https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/public-services-may-be-cut-to-get-uk-on-war-footing-sunak-admits/ar-AA1nB64j Public services may be cut to get UK on ‘war footing’, Sunak admits Wonder if this is cover for having a go at Bennies. "Of course we don't want to slash benefits and public sector pensions but there's no choice if we are to defend against China/Russia/Iran/Rochdale"

Could be generous and say Cathie Wood merely timed the cycle wrong. However Wood is still buying Tesla and is predicting the shares will go to $2k!!! So I'm afraid the market analysis is now in and their educated judgement is...

BATs has underperformed the S+P by around 34% in the same time.

coincidence! - I just have listened to the Prof Dalgliesh on the heart of oak podcast, sounds similar but he expands on a lot of things. https://heartsofoak.podbean.com/e/prof-angus-dalgleish-the-covid-booster-cancer-time-bomb-and-why-the-experiment-needs-to-stop/ 45 mins - to anyone who does not frequent the covid forum then its worth listening to.

Ad that's saying something Now do the S&P

Your right ,3 silver Brits .

musky fucks it up and the fanbois give him +13%, zuckerberg fucks it up and he gets shafted good style;

I phrased it right,any Asian i choose,not any Asian tracker .Everyone on this thread will of outperformed the ARK funds since 20 by a country mile. BATs outperformed those ARK funds by 42% since 20,,

Bit worrying if this catches hold, more talk about taxes on unrealised gains. Truly, they will squeeze us till no blood is left. https://watcher.guru/news/president-biden-calls-for-44-6-capital-gains-tax-rate

I think the phrasing is succinct and apt. Anyways £100 in 3 years wont even buy you a loaf of bread.

Nope. That's you choosing individual shares, which as I have said is a fool's errand. I'm nothing if not consistent. I am, however, willing to come back here in 3 years and compare the two. But Given your tales from the massage parlour, you could have phrased this better.....

Granted, she's a 'professional' but to those having a go at her, why not post your own funds (your whole, non edited share portfolio) so we can see how well you are doing...? Wise words...

Fancy a wager ABRDN beats the S+P over 3 years? Dividends included of course ,you win i send you £100 to put in any tracker you choose,i win you send me £100 to put in any Asian i choose.
