If you can clearly see the trend bear in mind that it is probably too late to trade it.

It has been estimated that total costs over the 20 year likely life of 4 Trident subs will be about £200 billion. Not an insignificant sum for a small country. Besides the fact that none of them are likely to ever go into serious action because of the retaliation. If the UK wasn't leaving the...

You make a lot of good points OT. Number 4 is worrying. The preludes to WW1 and WW2 was a big weapons build up. Just like now. If our world leaders had some common sense hey would argue in favour of reducing the weapon stockpiles. Even here in the UK Mrs. May is vastly overspending by buying 4...

I would describe China as a 1 party capitalist country. They are beating the USA at their own game. In a sulk Trump is refusing to play ball anymore. Instead of getting competitive Trump is putting up tariff walls.

I see the Bank of China are clamping down on the cryptos. Well all except its own. Typical really.

I think you are referring to the Soviet era in Russia and Mao in China. When a small clique took absolute power. Definitely nothing to do with real socialism. Name only.

A BTC founder ? Even he will age imho. P.S. I have quite enough aches and pains for 1 person - thanks.

Then why don't you explain your point ?

With that fool Trump in charge countries like Mexico, Canada etc. can't be relied on to support the US. I think the interesting thing about China is how it has managed to have the advantages of a well run, one party state with the capitalist advantages too. Their businesses seem to be booming...

This thread has turned into an old fart's moaning page about their aches and pains. I am more interested in the OP's thoughts on how to enjoy retirement. We all get old.

Just in case you don't really know what KM was on about..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Marx Personally I am against the carnage of revolution, anarchy and it's consequences. World War 1 was started by a revolutionary assassinating the leader of Austria. The British Socialists were less...

In the UK version of Socialism it was the intention to liberate the workers from the shackles of the robber barons, who paid as little as possible and robbed the company of its wealth. Called exploitation. Stalin and the rest were no Socialists. Just used the name to grab onto power and keep it...

They are not on their own. The rest of the world is not playing the tariff game yet. The US is digging its own grave.

China is buying up mineral deposits and mining around the world. While your Chump is playing the fool.

This thread seems to have taken a medical " my pain was worse than yours twist " !

To talk intelligently about Socialism one should read the founders literary works e.g. Karl Marx etc.

When the knights of old, from Don Quixote to the knights of the Round Table, had done everything and got bored they used to go on a quest. Pick your quest...........

What is that biblical phrase about it is easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than a rich man to go to heaven. The US and it seems the world is stuck with its billionaires and they won't want to tax excessive wealth. Well that is how it is and its unlikely to change any time soon..

How about a quick resume ? Most books can be condensed into A4 sheet quite easily.

Xi has just been given the Presidency for life in China. Perhaps he will go one step further if he has children and make a dynasty like N. Korea. It is interesting to note that while the US is trying to draw back from over ambitious commitments made previously, China is keen to take on this...
