#equities

@ChrisMayLA6 The #FTSE has recovered from Covid, but that's the extent of it. UK #equities are dead dead dead. The daily activity is just professional-traders' "churn" as they try to take money off each other to justify their jobs. Who even wants UK gilts - a country that flushed its prosperity down the toilet & might default? Labour dreams of 'growth' are fantasy. Politicians do not create 'growth'. They may set conditions, but this lot have stopped up their ears, & switched off their brains.

"Last week, our most reliable measure of stock market valuations hit the highest extreme in history. […] It was because people were willing to exchange record numbers of dollars for the privilege, hope, and excitement of getting shares of stock.

[…] It’s just a bubble."

Hussman Funds · You're Soaking in It - Hussman FundsThere’s a very rare set of market conditions extreme enough to deserve a ‘warning.’ As Madge said in the old Palmolive dish soap commercials, ‘you’re soaking in it.’

@Lazarou no surprise there. Lack of liquidity because #brexit has turned investors away from London. It took centuries to build London’s reputation and one bad Tory decision to destroy it in less than a decade. European financial centres are quietly quaffing Champagne and pi€€ing themselves laughing. #london #lloyds #footsie #stockmarket #stockexchange #aim #uk #bourse #shares #equities #pensionfunds #investors #Paris #frankfurt #dublin

Visual Capitalist · Visualizing the Investments of the Ultra-WealthyThis graphic shows how the ultra-wealthy invest their fortunes, from real estate and equities to luxury items.

If you are concerned that foreign owners often do not put the best interests of UK #workers high up their list of priorities or are relatively uninterested in the impact of their decisions on local communities/economies, then the shift in the ownership of UK equities in the last 30 years will be worrying....

While insurance companies & UK pension funds have (for partly regulatory reasons) reduced their 'exposure' to #equities to almost zero, non-UK owners have expanded from 10% to over half.
