]]> Will there be a New Year bounce? https://www.miltonpj.net/2022/12/21/will-there-be-a-new-year-bounce/ Wed, 21 Dec 2022 17:15:35 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=10379 This really is a Happy Christmas and a very prosperous New Year! I promise this is my last epistle till 2023. Are we going to enjoy the traditional Christmas and New Year bounce? It’s not encouraging and the portents aren’t favourable but some year-end rebalancing may just give us some good news.   Otherwise, resolution […]

]]> What’s the state of the nation? https://www.miltonpj.net/2022/11/26/what-is-the-state-of-the-nation-taxes-and-markets/ Sat, 26 Nov 2022 15:35:34 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=10351 So the Autumn Statement is behind us. Taxes are up and so we now face the highest tax burden since WW2 as well as ‘enjoying’ the biggest public spending since the 1970s. The ‘Office for Budget Responsibility’, a relatively recently created quango and chaired by Richard Hughes, (Ed Miliband’s former policy adviser who was a […]

]]> Prime Minister resigns https://www.miltonpj.net/2022/10/20/prime-minister-resigns-market-reaction/ Thu, 20 Oct 2022 16:06:34 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=10312 I feel I can’t keep sending ‘emergency’ eshots as things are changing so fast and the consequences and implications will take some time to digest by ‘everyone and everything’. It was sad to see the Prime Minister resign today. I don’t say that in any other way than criticism at the behaviour and reactions and […]

]]> Government turnaround and market opportunities https://www.miltonpj.net/2022/10/05/turnaround-and-market-opportunity/ Wed, 05 Oct 2022 16:09:55 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=10299 Well, economics and turnarounds where the Government would be lambasted whatever it did. However, the reversal of the 5% tax cut is purely political as the suggested £0.6-£2billion it raises is a tiny sum of the total tax take HMRC collected last year of £716billion. As an economist and not a politician speaking, I still […]

]]> How will the Mini Budget affect your finances? https://www.miltonpj.net/2022/09/28/how-will-the-mini-budget-affect-your-finances/ Wed, 28 Sep 2022 15:11:07 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=10265 Markets? We are holding our own reasonably though Mini Budget week was savage and the negativity is continuing. Our hedging Dollar assets rose in Sterling terms and so many ‘value’ equities now are exceedingly attractive, with high dividend incomes. Do we trim some of our Defensive Dollar-based assets now? Growth areas were hit hardest – […]

A letter is going to all participating investors soon.   I have to wonder […]

There are no regrets and indeed, some of those first clients are still on […]

I wanted to assure clients that they have to do nothing as a consequence. Again I must issue a full letter […]

]]> Good news for client accounts https://www.miltonpj.net/2022/08/18/interest-rates-inflation-client-accounts/ Thu, 18 Aug 2022 11:08:39 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=10230 Well as expected, the Bank of England increased rates by the ‘biggest amount in 27 years’. It’s a tad disingenuous to say that 0.5% is ‘that’ but there we have it. And now headline inflation hits 10.1%, so I suppose in traditional economic terms the BOE will increase rates again (whether it is the right […]
