Retired and Happy

Gold bugs everywhere on my feed this morning. I don't own gold because of debt/gdp, inflation or money printing. In the words of Kyle Bass-'Gold has one function-it is insurance against the stupidity of central bankers and politicians'. That's why I own gold!
Looks like a section of the Tories would like a merger with Reform (Dorries, Rees-Mogg). Unlikely to happen if Reform continue wtih 30%+ polling. Suicide for Reform if they do.
My guess is the stagflation narrative in the US has another 6 months to go. Then people will catch on that it is actually only the stag part that is an issue. In the Uk with a muppet chancellor I reserve comment until after the budget-will it be inflationary taxes or not?
US Mid terms polling and odds below. Both showing a Democratic house (betting by $bets). It's a long way off but polling for the 28 PE shows Newsome 2 points ahead. Betting says Vance by a margin.

This is from a Kenyan poster @dnkariuki. Made me laugh. In the UK it would be considered misogynistic.

Cameron lied into the 2015 election, May lied into the 2017 election, Boris lied into the 2019 election, Starmer definitely lied into 2024. Assuming Reform win in 29, how much of what Farage is presently saying is a lie?
So we're going to net emmigration. With a birth rate of 1.76 (2025) and productivity falling .8% in the last year that means recession as far as the eye can see. Now imagine how much tax you will pay if we are in constant recession. Is this another lie from SW1?
Angela Rayner- Labour politicians to a one saying what a great person she was. Sort of embarrassing really and makes them all look weak. She FAFO- End of. I am not sad at all. It is the way the world works.
US 10yr- broken downside resistance at 4.14% and likely to go to 4% now. BLS reports 22K jobs and 4.3% unemployment rate. Forward markets now showing 3 rate cuts for Sept, Oct, Nov. (NIA)
Reform & N Dorries- Reform are becoming a really broad church. It does not mean they will not get elected, they likely will. It will mean that the chance of the root and branch change that we need is low. Advance for 34 is my call.
10yr treasury- is going into the NFP at resistance between 4.14-6%. A bad number and bad revisions on Tuesday could see it break and head below 4%. Before the change of BLS head numbers were generally higher than expected (and subsequently revised lower). What about now? (NIA).
I am not worried about a US recession-if it happens at all (unlikely)it will be very mild. What concerns me is that after the 100 basis points of FFR cuts in the next 6 months the economy does not pick up materially. That would make Trump's midterms and the market very vulnerable
Tax, spend, print and regulate is the only game left in town. Anything else just means recession and no politician will go for it. The result is that Liberals will continue to dominate the sane people. More taxing and spending is our future.
Angela Rayner- Lots of calls for her to be sacked. Absent a really damning report from the standards committee I can't see it. My guess is that her 'mea culpa' will be enough for her to survive. I am usually wrong though!
US economy- Beige book and job openings both signalling that growth is almost zero presently. The Beige book also suggested that inflation was accelerating. If house values continue to fall I can't see the US economy picking up for a while.

There was an analysis of a Daily Mail newspaper several years ago that concluded that almost 1/3 of the facts in the paper were untrue. X must be the same. There are more incorrect facts on here every day than I have had hot dinners!
