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 […]

All good here! https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/05/24/crisis-what-crisis-we-are-doing-well/ Sat, 24 May 2025 13:13:53 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11832 Before anything else, have a really lovely Bank Holiday weekend. I shall be helping at Braunton Fair on Monday and catching-up tomorrow… Crisis? What crisis? Could be the question our investors pose about the recent Trumpian-created volatility as we seemed to sail-through unscathed and emerging from the other side seemingly in better shape than when […]

Gold has come-off its top – an over-extended spike it might […]

]]> 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 […]

]]> Trump tariffs – don’t panic https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/04/04/trump-tariffs-hit-markets-hard-dont-panic/ Fri, 04 Apr 2025 15:33:11 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11766 This is not long after my last missive but clearly President Trump’s tariffs are creating temporary havoc. However, it is very disconcerting and especially when a whole year’s ‘normal’ returns for investors can be wiped out in just a day’s movement on a market. No-one alive has faced tariff announcements of this nature. The last […]

]]> Days left to make ISA and Pension contributions before Financial Year ends https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/04/01/financial-year-tax-deadline-2025-looms/ Tue, 01 Apr 2025 15:41:14 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11753 So the dearly departed are coming to the rescue of the Chancellor, as Inheritance Tax receipts for the period from April 2024 to February 2025 topped £7.6billion and that is before the swingeing increases in the Autumn Statement where these death duties will affect pensions and businesses too.     The figure is projected to grow another […]

An 890 point drop on the Dow worried people too. Are these very dramatic changes a sign of negativity to come for the US? Remember as […]

You may think that I am unable to reform my approach, though I hope that the style of writing does not treat you as green around […]
