When interest rates are dropped to fan spending, the market normally drops... but interest rates are not getting dropped to increase borrowing this time, it's being dropped as they are far behind the curve of inflation, and it the few times that they have done this in the past; the market went ape.

'it's different this time' hear that a lot.

Also worth noting rates havent dropped at all, the market just thinks they will drop.

Bgeo.. Continues to perform for me.

Bgeo is probably my best share of past 12 months on balance. It's consistently produced exceptional gains and better than UK banks for prospects I feel. Kind of wish I had more in it.
 
Well the octopuss news didn't help the shares one bit... at least it didn't go down, I was hoping to get a load more this morning before the price jumped up; either happend... lol

It doesn't take Einstein to work out that UK (and probably many other countries) inflation figures are being fudged. You only have to look at your household bills to realise.

Inflation is of course a stealth tax. It would be nice if more people realised this. Bitcoin is of course a response by the tech community to this stealth tax.

inflation is neither stealth nor a tax.. as the price of an item can clearly be seen going up when theres been no improvement, or the item has been reduced in quality/size and remain at the same cost.

The economy works on inflation, as that’s how people get pay raises, the company or person charges more for their goods or services, to allow them to pay more for their staff and suppliers, so that their can pay more etc.., etc.. in a developed country, the target is 2%.. for a developing country is much higher as their people is underpaid, and their currency is valued much lower and the difference is needed for them to reduce the gap between the developed and developing. Likewise you are more likely to get a bigger pay rise if the company you work for is growing or you are growing with additional skills or responsibilities.

the increase in prices is not going to any directly authorities normally, thou at the moment there is a fiscal drag, therefore it’s not a tax.

As for bitcoin, it’s far too unstable for it to be a practical currency. Even the fluctuations in stable currencies makes dealing internationally a right PITA, hence why banks/platforms charges exchange rates to cover the differences in exchange rates. Those who don’t have a fixed rate for a set period of time and hope that it balances out throughout that period.

the only value in bitcoin is the greater fool value, buy some and hope that a greater fool is willing to pay more for it later…. thinking that a country would use it for their main currency just opens the question, why don’t that country create their own digital block chain? Thousands of block chains has already been created.

trying to use it as a currency when the “value” of it can fluctuate greatly is neither a good prospect for the buyer or seller… if the price goes up, the buyer has just paid a hell lot more for an item than needed, if the price goes down; the seller has just sold something for less than it‘s worth.

Inflation, defined as increase in the money supply, i.e. currency issuance by the money issuers, is simply for the entire benefit of the money issuers, hence it is a "stealth tax" or burden on people working outside the financial sector. The real economy does not "work" on inflation, it is not required and has nothing to do with making the real economy work. The resultant increase in prices is simply like a merry go round, and everyone must increase their prices in order to maintain their living standards after the injection of more money into the system. This is the issue that Bitcoin solves and is why the existing financial institutions are so terrified of it.

The inflation figures are undoubtedly being fudged, as the real figures are too unpalatable.
