    Any thoughts on the comments from the BoE Deputy - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c75kp1y43lgo
    Struck me as a bit of a nothing comment - “an adjustment at some point”, but not necessarily “today, tomorrow, in 12 months' time”.

    Is she trying to prepare us for a big crash in the next couple of years?
    Is she talking nonsense?!

    (meanwhile, have a great weekend all!)

      All I’ll sayMike, is the lady has worked at the BOE since graduation-she said the same in 24 and 25. Ask yourself why they say such things-high asset values create inflation. Economics at that level is theoretical and irrelevant to what we do. If she knew anything remotely correct she wouldn’t work at the BoE.

        Everyone has an opinion, some valid, some vacuous (mostly). The difference isn't hard to spot.

          Lifestyle +10%
          Index 100 +5.13%
          Equity +1.66%

          Nest Sharia +3%
          Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF +4.76%
          Fundsmith -7.3%

          past performance is no indication of future returns.

                    Brilliant results all round and some spectacular, GOOG beat any and all expectations, proving that AI is being monetised at pace. Earnings grew 100%-due to a huge space x revaluation(we spoke about that) however operationally which matters most, their business grew 30%-hard to fathom something this mature and large growing 30%!

                    Meta results were great and they raised Capex even more which naturally the market didnt like-we are not concerned.

                    KLAC beat all guide and raised but the sheer momentum of late resulted in an after market sell off-again, no surprises.

                    Amazon had its best quarter ever. AWS grew 30% in fact they get everywhere. ALH for teh stock
                    I'll start breaking down the note worthy aspects.
                    Generally the message is, not enough compute, accelerated Capex on AI! And obviously memory. the whole stack.

                    We have no complaints, many holdings are up nicely and this reporting window has validated the existing valuations as justified.

                        Cobens Tech hit an ATH last night:

                        YTD +21.3%
                        1 Year +81.6%

                        Past performance is no indication of future returns. Returns quoted are all after fees.
