Ur... 'tax free dividend', as in share backbacks? Where are you quoting this text from? It sounds suspiciously like a spam scam, given the "and to learn how you can start receiving "tax-free dividends" today, click here. " line. You aren't seriously quoting scam emails as a 'take on the...

Hang on, if everyone's only getting 100 quid from the state a week as the whole state pension, how is the rich getting more exactly? How would be the state be more 'equal' than distributing the same 100 quid to everyone? I'm trying really hard to understand your logic here.

So are you saying that your original statement "Now come pension time the rich are hogging most of the money, as if they even need it." has no actual basis in reality? Because that's where I'm ending up after making an effort to get you to explain why this is so in the UK.

So.... what do you want to use instead? Euro? GBP? Yen?

Hang on, so everyone contributes the same pound amt to the state pension despite income? And some people (the rich, according to you) get a bigger pension income because of their income? Is this what you are saying?

No, this is not at all how pensions work in the US. In the UK, does the person with a bigger income contribute more to the pension?

All the pseudo formulas in the world doesn't help you estimate things that are mostly unforecastable. You are just putting a false sense of precision where there is none.

Congrats. Your valuation formula depends on 3 variables that are basically impossible to forecast. (The ability to above any of the 3 is in itself a major source of alpha).

Want to point out the number of wrong calls you made in this thread too?

How does the rich *hog* all the pension money? Pensions are defined benefit plans, mostly used by public sector workers and unions.

I'm going to leave aside your math errors, since others have already pointed out your mistake. But on this point: how do you think pension funds are run? This is exactly what they do - they invest the cash and hope to make enough to pay the pensions. The problem is that the 'required return'...

talk about adverse selection...

I didn't say that. You are putting words in my mouth. You claim time span doesn't matter. So by your logic, it's okay to evaluate a 1-minute trader over 1 year of time span so long as he does, say, 10k trades? <- this is clearly amateur hour thinking.

?? you are the one who wrote "Time span is meaningless."

So you don't believe in regime shifts... interesting. I'm guessing you are new to this?
