It was all filmed in the UK, which is really quite odd all things considered. enjoyed it though.

I mean it's ability to retain market value is robust. It trades on a PE ratio of over 300x. That's almost 8x nvidia (which is not exactly cheap). By most normal metrics it is a pretty average car company with a bit of sales problem due to lack of product refresh.

Yes. And makes you realise how out of touch on these issues rishi sunak is in his "it's dangerous to sell chips to China" oped

And urinal cakes are their own kind of cake. However it would be a mistake to assume they taste like cakes, as we commonly understand the word.

I suspect they also don't really care about the cost because they all believe in MMT. We can just print £s and use taxes to control inflation. But still be able to import things somehow.

It doesn't necessarily reflect the cost, rather choices about what governments choose to subsidise

Isn't that game 8pm Mexican time?

As a counter point, I spent 30 mins earlier this year trying to get a 1m square print I'd bought at the affordable art fair back home in a mini aceman and in the end had to order a black cab!

My only quibble was the strategy never looked brilliant. This was always how it would end. It only worked as a greater fool theory machine. And they may yet find greater fools, I suppose.

Very interesting. As someone who works in the industry I think (as is aluded to in the piece) the biggest issue they will have will be finding enough compute customers, particularly given the lower security, reliability and capabilities vs regular data centres.

Completely agree. It's an education point. And to do with how we talk about risk. Shares have big disclaimer, whereas people don't appreciate that inflation kills cash (even if it looks fine in nominal terms). Earning 3% interest if inflation is at 10% is worse than losing 3% if inflation is 0

But it's not about hindsight being 20 20. I don't belive there has been a 17 year period ever where cash has beaten the market. And in property you are likely using leverage and taking more risk than in a stock market tracker. Thinking it's just gambling is part of the problem...

Well it's certainly how you sell books!

One in her imagination!
November 29, 2025 at 11:44 AM
Exactly. This sounds like public seeking bollocks to me. Unless she says the proceeds go directly to a proscribed terrorist organisation.
November 29, 2025 at 11:43 AM
That's the point. You'd have been wrong then and lost out for having that view. Very materially over next 10-15 years as it turns out. And we need to do a better job educating people, not giving tax incentives to do daft things just because they think it's better
November 29, 2025 at 11:14 AM
Yes but this guy is having worst of both worlds. He thinks he's saving, forgoing the good time, but actually losing money in real terms.
November 29, 2025 at 8:15 AM
The one thing they didn't want to happen!
November 28, 2025 at 9:12 AM
The problem is it's not news!

If she has found a magic money tree I would have thought that would be a good thing

Gonna be a nightmare to administer though. How many valuers required? Every house valued at 2.1 or 2.6m will appeal. They should have made it start at 1.5m. At least raise more money for the effort.

Those are pretty big mansions!
