She has done a 180 % u-turn on what she promoted then to what she believes now. Very interesting video regardless what side the American people prefer.

Like how the bloke dismissed the the Stock Market drop as the place where the mega rich keep their money for a better return than the bank…and most of Trump’s supporters hav3 no money in the Stock Markets…also how Biden had two bigger drops but the media never even bothered themselves about it.( all though Biden will have known bugger all about it )

Where do they keep it then Snowy ?
During President Joe Biden's term, equity market performance was comparable to that generated by markets during President Donald Trump's first term. Through Biden's four-year term, which ended January 20, 2025, the S&P 500 gained 57.85%.

Stocks and shares are long term investments, markets rise and fall and they'll bounce back again over time as more countries do trade deals and tariffs are lifted or eased.

American billionaires typically keep their money in a mix of investments, including stocks, bonds, real estate, private equity, and hedge funds, with some also using cash management accounts and ultra-high-net-worth banking services
Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk collectively lost $42.6 billion dollars after Trumps tariffs.

I can’t disagree, pension schemes companies and private are linked to the Stock Market. Truss crashed the market in her short tenure meaning people about to cash in their pensions lost out. This crash is far worse than the Truss one and will take years to recover if Trump doesn’t relent, bad news for anyone near retirement and just about to cashing their pensions in.

Tariffs remaining mean the World is poorer.Simples.

I don’t particularly like this fella but I like his take on Trump,

The big economies in the world need to stick together and freeze The States out, Trumps billionaire mates won’t put up with that.

Biden did nothing…the puppet masters did.

No Jamie you do like the bloke.

I am a liar then Snowy ?
TBH I bet you never even watched the vlog, as I have said before to you people who live in glass castles shouldn’t throw stones, some times wonder if you know what that actually means ?

You said it Jamie

Where do the billionaires keep their money Snowy, you never answered the question, your usual diversionary tactic, change the subject.
Biden didn’t have to, you appoint a good management team like you would in any job, he was a figurehead who remained there to long though.

You tell me, you must have the answer to ask it.
Which begs the question why ask me in the first place
By the way, the old schoolmaster routine when addressing posters as truculent school kids went out of fashion in about 1959…Sir.

Steady Snowy you will get a good old fashioned thrashing for that question.

Exactly.

If you invested say three years ago, you'll still be up even after this chaos. If you're looking 10-15 years ahead, now is the time to invest in a global tracker fund as you'll be buying at a discounted price. As Warren Buffett says 'Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.' Based on historic averages, going back 100 years, £5k invested in the US stock market now will be worth something like £21k in ten years, and that's without the bounce you'll get when tariffs are dropped.

As Jamie says though, it is unfortunate timing if you're near retirement and still invested heavily in stocks. In that case, don't sell, as it only crystallises losses.

Quite possibly the most boring post ever made on the bunker but good advice nevertheless!

Yes a good post Mickey although I don’t think the fall in stocks will affect many if any on The Bunker, an update on the Stock falls, 3rd day in a row,

Elastic band stocks will return keep watching and learn.

Don’t worry, but it could get Jamie aroused and hot under the collar..give Thailand a wide bert for 48 hours

Aye…we’re all on skid row.
Is it true you get the Financial Times delivered in a plain cover.

If you say so.

A wild Bert...is that THE Bert??

The very one….I must be getting messages from him……..the bloke’s a star. ….but Bert was never ‘wide’.

It was a question Snowy denoted by a question mark, not a statement.

It was a joke…a gentle play on words assisted by YOU……oh dear

The trend was already going down thanks to Labour, the Trump tariffs just made it worse. Reeves has crashed the economy far worse than Truss did.

Where do you get your facts from, the Truss budget caused the markets to crash and resulting in the BOE having to buy bonds to stop a run on pension funds.
Following the September 2022 "mini-budget," the Bank of England raised the UK base rate by 0.5 percentage points to 2.25%. This was the biggest increase in 27 years, and it led to a sharp rise in mortgage rates and a drop in housebuying activity.

Reeves has damaged the economy badly but it's long and lingering pain that She's inflicting in us rather than the short shock tactics of Truss. Net result is both make us far worse off.

I can’t disagree but Truss done more damage in her short tenure than currently Reeves has, I don’t agree how she is going about it though, waiting for Snowy to say yes you do.

Away Snowy, you lost your voice or forgot how to write English, I expect more from you.

If you think the current situation is better than under Truss then you are seriously deluded.

On the money Star.

and labour are now moaning about the lib dems proposal of starting a new but british campaign because they feel its too inward looking. suppose in their twisted mind they prefer the opposite to happen to rely even more on imported foods and goods.

What benefits did Truss very short tenure bring to the U.K. apart from crashing the economy in a few weeks.

They haven’t crashed the economy and the BOE haven’t had to bail them out, I don’t agree with what they are doing but any other party would be doing similar.

You missed VOTE LABOUR and God Bless Sir Kier ….off your message.

EVERY other party would have done differently.

No they wouldn't.

Why would I miss that of my message I don’t and wouldn’t vote Labour, you’ve got your closeted Tory head on again Snowy and a bad memory and your O.L.D. Syndrome head on.
