The Old Man’s Views With the world going to shit, let’s keep it light-hearted this week
Lenin said, “There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen”. For a political junkie like me, the past few weeks have been full of happenings. Kim Kardashian got a fine for doing what everyone else does? I know nothing about the woman, other than she became very wealthy because…

The Old Man’s Views Thought Process: Why I pulled the trigger and bought BTC
Over recent weeks, I have been suggesting to readers that buying BTC on a scaled-down basis could prove fruitful. Over the same period, most people have been bearish on crypto, and many have preferred ETH to BTC. And possibly, the majority of pundits might well be proven correct. However, it might be a good…

The Old Man’s Views What are we going to do now?
I shed a few tears on Monday when my Queen, Elizabeth, was finally put to rest. Her burial signified an end of an era, and like any end, it means things will change. In the UK, we can debate the Monarchy’s future; will Charles III will be a good King? How long will it…

The Old Man’s Views I take a few weeks off, and the world turns upside down. Or has it?
Refreshing the batteries by getting out and seeing a few different sights is always good. However, losing your Queen is devastating. The Queen is dead. Long live the King! That sounds all well and good, but for many of us, the loss of Elizabeth II is a hard pill to take. I don’t…

The Old Man’s Views Summertime Blues?
Your favourite Old Man is going on holiday, and as the markets decline, it sure seems like a good time to take a few weeks off. Indeed, considering the state of the economy, this might be the last one I can afford for a few years. I’ve been bearish for the best part of a…

The Old Man’s Views There is more action on the beaches than in the markets!
Another week has passed, and it seems more traders are on the beach than in their offices. There are lots of stories on LinkedIn, but most of them are just promotional. I am spending much of my time arranging my Airbnbs and ensuring my guests have a decent holiday visiting Portugal. Sadly, the same cannot…

The Old Man’s Views Congratulations to the England Women’s football team!
Years of dedication and effort paid off! A team of people, who suffered to become the best at what they do, have finally achieved the success they have earned. As an Englishman, I can’t remember when I was so proud of English footballers, or at least it’s been a long time (I was nine years…

The Old Man’s Views Thank God for the Sunshine. But not the drought.
Once again, it’s been a week with very little substance to report. Joe Biden is still the worst President in American history. Last week he told us he had cancer, 24 hours later, they told us he had Covid. This week I expect they will say to us he has caught Monkey Pox! (which he…

The Old Man’s Views When the sun is shining, all is right with the world
Summer “silly season” is upon us, and if you are not now taking a well-earned break, you should do it. Downside momentum is still with us, but it has dramatically decelerated to a point where some people are now looking to go long for a quick rally. I hope the rally takes place because it…
