Elon Musk and President Trump seem to have fallen-out (it was only a matter of time perhaps?) and all Musk entities are threatened with financial consequences and Tesla falls by the most in one day… we don’t have any or funds which hold them, so we can look-on from the […]

]]> Growth, debt and the Titanic… https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/04/30/are-trump-tariffs-akin-to-titanic-moment/ Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:08:05 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11803 I was reminded recently that on 14 April it was the anniversary of the Titanic hitting the iceberg, in 1912. Had it hit it head-on, it would not have sunk. Are there analogies here for President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements…? This is either the fact that 90% of the problem isn’t obvious or maybe that […]

]]> Tariffs leave shaken shares and markets https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/04/12/markets-volatile-in-wake-of-tariffs/ Sat, 12 Apr 2025 11:37:18 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11774 Well, the world is still coming to terms with what has been unleashed upon it and the volatility in the financial markets as a result. Not only have shares been shaken-up but other things are not necessarily reacting as they ‘should’ and perhaps for ‘other’ reasons. I am also taking this opportunity to wish you […]

]]> Volatile US stocks https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/03/08/us-stocks-volatile-with-uncertainty/ Sat, 08 Mar 2025 13:32:22 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11721 Volatility led by the US has escalated quite dramatically. It’s impacted market values – especially some US tech cos and Nasdaq has drifted 10% now but the concerns over tariffs and the Ukraine situation and the US reaction to it, let alone clumsy politics and diplomacy, have not helped. Suddenly Nvidia and Tesla aren’t looking […]

]]> What does US inflation mean for the UK? https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/02/26/will-us-inflation-hit-the-uk/ Wed, 26 Feb 2025 12:48:34 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11701 Inflation in the United States rose more than expected last month to 3% – exactly the same rate as here in the UK, funnily enough! ‘Unpredictable’ best describes the start of Donald Trump’s presidency as his proposed tariffs on imported goods look likely to push up prices for American consumers. The rate of inflation ‘over […]

The height, the highest I have ever been excluding flights, puts risk in a different perspective altogether The engineering […]

]]> Good value, gold and Blackstone https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/02/12/good-value-trust-assets/ Wed, 12 Feb 2025 11:52:02 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11655 Good afternoon. We hear BP may be in play as Elliott Investors in the US has accumulated a stake in one of our biggest companies. It’s ridiculously good value regardless and hasn’t kept up with other energy stocks. Meantime, our funds under management see yet new heights which is good, as many deep value assets […]

The markets are wobbling and the Dollar strengthening as it is feared the US will have to raise interest rates to support its policies as well as staving-off […]
