Advocating for simple technical analysis, the author cautions against over-interpreting complex charts. He highlights the UK stock market's "abject failure" compared to the US, a sobering reality. Despite widespread bearish sentiment and historically low UK morale, a potentially bullish "hockey-stick" pattern is identified for the FTSE. The author points to a simple "box" breakout setup, assigning a 70% probability to an upward move. A break above 11,000 could lead to an "epic" rally, while a fall below 10,000 would be equally "epic" but negative. This contrarian view emphasizes trading what the charts show, not prevailing sentiment.

I’ve been calling bitcoin down for ages. And it’s been falling. I called it up in 2017, 2021, and 2025. I’m a bull on the way up and a bear on the way back down again.

The UK stock market, particularly the FTSE 100, has significantly underperformed since 2000, largely due to detrimental governance, regulations, and taxes, contrasting sharply with booming US and German markets. This has fostered low morale and market ossification. However, the FTSE 100 is now showing signs of life, driven by its extreme undervaluation. This makes UK companies prime targets for takeovers by foreign entities, as seen with easyJet's recent acquisition. The suggested investment strategy involves buying into undervalued UK firms and anticipating such takeovers. While underlying UK dynamics may not change, stronger external markets could still lift the FTSE 100, offering potential returns despite a generally bleak domestic outlook.

I was calling the SpaceX IPO on YouTube like this: Pop, slump. And here we are. But the Robinhood and Coinbase IPOs give a better guide to the OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs.

A moat is a deep defensive barrier around a business that keeps competitors from getting into your business, scaling your corporate walls and pillaging your treasury.

Once nuclear power was the third rail; politicians that touched it were toast. It was Satan manifest. “Was” is the key word, because now nuclear is the next big thing.
