Shadow banking collapse would ‘put millions of jobs at risk’
Blobsy replied to fellow's topic in House prices and the economy
So many fail to see and realise the next 30yrs will be nothing like the last 30. Expect a lot of breakdowns and mental health issues. -
HPC forum mortgage brokers vs the market
Blobsy replied to NoHPCinTheUK's topic in House prices and the economy
I disagree people are used to the 5%. Far from it. Many still think we are going back to ‘normal’ 0.5% -
Lords vote against Sunak's Rwanda bill
Blobsy replied to Bruce Banner's topic in House prices and the economy
A dreadful concept from a dreadful government. If anyone thinks this will curb immigration I have a bridge to sell them. -
22/04/2024 - The exact moment the housing bubble burst
Blobsy replied to fellow's topic in House prices and the economy
*POP* ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss -
I did it for a few years. I can’t say it was easy. I lived life VERY frugally, sometimes literally counting out the pennies for my last meal of the week until my next giro arrived. I didn’t sit on my arse though, I used the time to build my art, craft and skills as I recognised I was lucky enough to be blessed with a talent. I realised this needed the time and dedication to develop that working a low paid job for many hours at that time would not allow. I would say I have paid back much more in taxes through my career than I ever would in any other job I might have ended up in. I’m sure the Daily Mail would have called me a lazy b@stard back then but I’m much more of one now 🥳

Gold strategy in the current economy
Blobsy replied to Lepista's topic in House prices and the economy
One should never be afraid to take a few chips off of the table, same for any investment, you can always the reinvest if the price takes a large dump. As long as you have a core holding for the potential of a SHTF scenario then you’re covered. -
Stewy, pls can you give your opinion on natural gas?
Blobsy replied to sell2rent's topic in House prices and the economy
There is lots of gas coming from Stewy. I do think he is an antagonist bot set up by the owners of the site to drive engagement. -
Russia to grow faster than all advanced economies says IMF
Blobsy replied to shlomo's topic in House prices and the economy
I doubt the average Russian will see any prosperity from a growing economy. -
Private car reg number plate as store of wealth

Thanks, I’ll put it with my Jim’ll Fix It badge. -
Just an Israeli drone strike on a play area in a refugee zone in Gaza, 11 kids dead + more injured. Nothing to see here.

Gold strategy in the current economy
Blobsy replied to Lepista's topic in House prices and the economy
I used BVault for trading the G/S ratio for a bit, much easier than the faff of physical for such things, got spooked after the US banking thing last year and pulled funds out. At the end of the day if there is some sort of financial catastrophe I wouldn’t expect my allocated metal to be there despite however many assurances.
