Cash, what to do with it come negative interest rates?

What do you think is going to happen?

Well IMHO it ain't going to be pretty but if you're wondering what the real forces driving lockdowns and other restrictions which disrupt normal social life, follow the money. Whose agenda is benefitting from the Telehealth, digital education, zoom homeworking? The agenda of those pushing the 4th Industrial Revolution/Great Reset. Klaus Schwab (founder of the World Economic Forum has literally written the book)


The WEF has a high-level partnership with the UN to achieve its Sustainable Development Goals through imposition of the Fourth Industrial Revolution

Besides promoting a colourless, technocratic, authoritarian, paternalistic society, the WEF also predict that by 2030 "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" -


None of that of course answers the question about where is the best place for cash at present


But following on from my earlier video this was filmed in London last Tuesday. It shows you how far away recovery is going to be



This is the follow up video analysing the current situation

China is going to be the dominant player in the coming years and their currency is the only one that will probably worth anything. It's pretty obvious really but everyone has their heads in the sand. Well worth the watch

I do not agree with it all but there is certainly some truth in there. Anyone know what is pegging back the value of the Chinese Yen against other countries right now? China are pretty much over Covid, they may be one of the few nations that finished the year with a positive GDP, investors can get 3% on the Chinese bond market and have good price to earning ratios on stocks. What is holding back investors from dumping poor value US and Sterling investments with negative yields and piling money into China?

Yes I suspect China is not yet ready for their currency to increase in value too much, they need to move their economy from export production to domestic consumption... only then will they want to strengthen their currency and turn the tables on us... the soon to be impoverished West will become the providers of cheap sweatshop goods for the affluent Chinese market!

Gold is different to silver because gold has different properties to silver and has use in different applications. Bitcoin is only different to other cryptocurrencies if it has properties that make it different to other cryptocurrencies. It every one of the 5000 and growing cryptocurrencies could be traded with the same easy and security as Bitcoin then a unit of Bitcoin would not be different in any meaningful way to any other unit of cryto.
All but around 5 of the 10k other cryptos are basically obvious scams and lack credibility.
They are generated to make money for their founders.

Good thought provoking videos.Is that you?
 
I agree with large office, but why warehouse?

If anything, demand for that type of asset can only rise with the ongoing shift to online shopping.

demand for commercial with a meeting room and just a few desks in the corner is growing. Most of the staff work from home and only come in when required.

i think it’s the way forward.

what to invest in? Land and buildings I would say, so long as the use can derive an income!

there will be more pain to come when Rishi Sunak’s piggy bank of our grandchildren’s spending money runs dry and unemployment rises.
This is the biggest problem as far as I can see, if our grandchildren don't prosper how can they pay it back? And if they are to have any hope of prospering then something has to rapidly alter, I thought it was bad when I started my apprenticship in 2001, and when it started to improve, the financial crash wiped out any hope of success for a great many, but i'd be extremely concerned for my future if i were trying to pick a career now.

Add to that reducing population growth so soon there won't be enough workers to support people in retirement. The whole system relies upon several young, healthy tax payers to support every retired, NHS regular and that isn't happening any more. Hard to see how the young have any chance of retiring or accessing state health care later in life without a major breakthrough in automation to reduce labour requirements in these areas

I have a feeling that the future will have little to do with what you own but what you do with your time for most people in developed countries. The only way to be right though is to have two contrary opinions then hope everyone forgets the wrong one. So I also think we will be buying more stuff and working harder than ever.

I think our Western governments will be happy to print it for the time being, they won't want too much civil unrest.

That’s probably true. They need spending to balance the books. They also need inflation to reduce their sovereign debts.

I resent the fact that instead of borrowing money on the never-never, I’ve been carefully saving for a rainy day and my retirement. This means I have to put more away to cover the losses from inflation and taxation.
