A solution to the world's energy problems

 ... and also the issue of, errr, removing plastics from the ocean.

Yes, fortunate we are that the genius who is Terrence Howard is alive at this time of peril, with his novel solution to the Grand Unified Field theory.  It has lots of beneficial outworkings, which he is now offering to the good people of Uganda.  To solve many of their most pressing problems.  Of course.

The Gruaniad, (home of George Moonbat), describes this as "impenetrable batshit" - but what do they know?  Bunch of racists.

Anyhow, pour yourself a cool drink and enjoy his presentations, starting with this gem.  Then graduate to his lengthier expositions.  Don't let the sun get to you: it can lead to hallucinating ...

One more week

 The fretting of the media over the insignificant local election results has gotten very boring now, the whole narrative about labour doing so badly is not even really true. The Governments who managed Covid were all rewarded - so much for the anti-lockdownistas and covid denial mobs - the people have spoken. 

In better, news all major economic forecasters continue to uprate the UK's growth rates for this year as the vaccine roll-out continues to go well and the landmark ending of many lockdown measures from next Monday on track and only 5 weeks until Covid freedom! At least until October/November and the onset of any variants if we are unlucky.

Shame the rest of Europe has not got its act together enough on this issue and they remain lagging. 

This time next week, you never know, it may even be a bit warmer. Certainly a good start to the week to be writing this after all these long months. 

Bull Run

The image above perfectly describes the market situation today. The FTSE has had 10 straight gain days (assuming it is up today). It means the index is nearly flat year to date. Given all the bad news this is an impressive feat...for now. However, the sentiment of everyone I come across is that this is a blip and come September things will unwind again.

What has amazed me recently though is the lack of people on the bull run; so many seem out of the market. A good example of this is the gold and dollar price. Both these rise when fear is high and at the moment both of these indicators are showing a lot of fear of equities and bonds. Volumes too are low, although this time of year they always are.

All I can say, is what a miss for those who have ignored the equity rally. The party will end and equities will fall, but to miss the boat altogether is poor trading judgement.
