Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

zirp is not a natural position for any economy.

inflation is about to move up over 3 % low rates are putting people at risk borrowing money for nothing savers get nothing . pension funds falling
saving is pointless so whathappens when thos now in their 50/60s retire I will tell you thety will be very very poor and that is very bad news .
why would people save for nothing their savings are worthless

come cynic tell all why its worth putting money away .

pension funds are going to go bust , fact not fiction

At least 9m people do not have any savings, and those who do are feeling the impact of low rates on their nest egg

stock markets at all time highs , yet pre bexit and all the scare tactics and in the states on trump all bloody lie lies lies .
now lets see the EU fold and the pack flat on their faces ,

A bit of inflation isn't necessarily a bad thing, IMHO.

1. You start your foray into the housing market with a £250 deposit and a 95% mortgage to help buy you and wifey buy a £5,000 home.

2. You move in and sit on the carpet (the 3-piece suite hasn't yet been delivered and neither has the sideboard or the TV stand or the TV nor the dining table and chairs). You wonder whether you've done the right thing as the mortgage for this place is costing around £50-£55 per month. Meals have to be eaten in the kitchen because there's nothing to sit on or eat at other than the kitchen worktop.

3. The years roll by. You move a few times, buying bigger and better and taking out bigger mortgages each time you move.

4. Then you retire and 'trade down'. All the mortgages were settled years ago before actually doing this.

5. Guess how many "X" x £100,000's you've made along the way?

.......all because of inflation. :-)

rosie - i don't use a pension fund or any other investment company ..... they've provide lousy returns for years and years yet have plush offices and very well paid management

most of my pension capital is locked up in property, though i have a fairly modest sipp whose stock investments i choose .... at least it's me losing my own money

RE: The New York Times...It was a letter to subscribers because a lot have
been cancelling their subscriptions due to the NYT's bias.

Subscriptions are up. Digital subs are up six times.

Rwdstatewatcher is a Trump biased mouthpiece. Almost as bad as Breitbart News.

Republican party split on repeal of Obamacare. Congress may not pass a bill to scrap it.

Stuff you wont read in the Graun.
