Every crash/collapse brings with it an equivalent market chance if you are very well informed and equipped. I've seen folks amass up to £800K amid crisis, and even pull it off easily in an unfavourable economy. Unequivocally, the bubble/collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich.

Faux crisis mode so we all beg to go back in the EU.

Why is the UK economy always in 'crisis', because such a 'crisis' deflects from the real problems. It's called: governance by fear and distraction.

Its because the PMs are always multi millionairs , An MP on £82000 a yr and then the £200,000 in expenses knows nothing of the struggle ordinary people have trying to pay the everecalating energy , fuel , food ,mortgauge /rent bills , because we the pulic pay all of their bills , the word Parasite springs to mind along with self serving carpet baggers !

Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

We are currently in the jaws of the worst bear markets I have seen, the average stock has been cut in half, and the only way to make money this year has been to either short or to trade long in very short time frames. I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my dipping $117k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?

Rapid and ongoing Venezuelanization of UK Economy and catastrophic fall of living standards in last 24 months is horrible to watch , but why they always elect insane people into politics ? TAKE BACK CONTROLLL🤣🤣. QUO VADIS Britannia. How deep have you fallen, per heps more than Roman Brittania after IMPERIVM ROMANVM withdrew.

We have a system of cushy socialism for the super rich . this kind of brutal, savage, merciless capitalism for the poor, it's all designed to strip mine the middle class of this country of all of their equity, all of their assets, and move it to the upper echelons. And the COVID lockdowns were the final straw. As an investor, I was caught in the storm, my portfolio suffering significant losses. Now, I stand at the precipice, looking for a path to recovery, ready to rise from the ashes. I've set asides $250k to invest for future, unfortunately I'm a complete noob.

Another major structural issue is de-industrialization. UK hardly produces products of high value anymore. The pillar of their economy has been finance, which isn’t resilient to financial crisis.

Government self interest. The economy would be booming if home prices were 150k. If energy prices were regulated better, if rail ticket prices were reasonable. The list goes on. But government doesn't regulate when it's in their self interest to profit.
