Markets appear to have delivered their verdict on KamiKwasi Economics:

A novel way to prop up the stockmarket.

Just a matter of time before the pound dips below the dollar.

But I imagine that's bullish for stocks?

I'm watching VWRP. I got some at £76 in mid- June. They are up 85p today because of the drop in the £.  £82.68 currently. 

That's my equity of choice too.  But I will only buy back in when it's utterly tanked and holders just want to get rid of it at any cost.

S&P500 down but VUSA is up for same reason. VUSA has weathered the storm very well due to the drop in the pound:

Would the covid lows of the 50’s tempt you back in?

It would certainly be a head-turner.  I'd know I was on track.  

However, I'm not sure how well equities generally speaking will do for the rest of the 2020s.  I think I'd rather stick to commodities.


But sure, I'll throw you a bone at 50p for VWRP when you want out.

Haha. What makes you think I’d be anything other than a buyer at that level?

Because, sadly, like almost all retail investors, I suspect you're all-in on this market. 

If what you're saying is that you have cash reserves then good for you. You'll get some bargains.

Low of the 1950's will do me fine even more than 80% that 

And how are you coping today, friend? Not sure you expected these prices again...

Unintentionally, I am currently as below. Trouble for me is I have a decent sum in iWeb in cash which I am reluctant to drip feed due to fees and hesitant to invest a large lump of it in case there are better opportunities in the near future. Either way I am committed to investing the majority of the cash, and certainly everything that currently sits in cash in the iWeb ISA but a bit of a dilemma, indecision ATM.

Passive equities (VWRP) 59.84%

Active equities (2 companies only, my gamble) 3.28%

Physical gold 0.41%

Cash 36.46%

Today was a good UK budget.

The Tories obviously have one eye on the next election in just 18-24 months' time.

Much of today's budget is just reversing planned 2023 tax grabs that would drive the UK deeper toward recession, like corporation tax.

Salary de-caps and 45% tax cuts help protect Britain's last and only remaining major industry, the City of London.

Low-tax investment zones will boost poor regions, like Blackpool.

Great to see enthusiasm and positive speech from Truss and Kwarteng. Talking their country up, not down.

Britain is stuck in this doom-loop culture of Marxist taxation, red hysteria, and bizarre self-hatred. Time to break that cycle of doom.

Great to see a positive budget, for the first time in decades.

S&P 500 now looks oversold.
