Folk should be starting up outsourcing companies to sell cheap UK IT bods to successful economies.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostAll IT people should invest in the foreign body shop companies like InfoSys. It gives a nice hedge to income. All the clients outsource and your shares rocket and that's your income for the year sorted. Everyone onshores and terminates their support contracts, local demand rockets and that's your contract income sorted.
Infact, come the next dip I'm buying a basket of outsourcing company shares.....

Note I said "adjust" not change. Each day presents new information that supports or contradicts your current viewpoint. What you are is married to some doomsday events some blogger told you five years ago.Originally posted by scooterscot View Post

If that's a little dig at me, best you know I have zero debt and have had zero debt since I cleared my mortgage back in 2009.Originally posted by scooterscot View Post
Trends are not established day-to-day. The pickle the world is now in is a continuation of the massive failure of Western governments of not acting in 2007. Instead they poured petrol on the fire and created more debt.
Banging on for years - DEBT is the problem. The locals will be along shortly though, they'll argue the wonders of debt and how it's good for us.

Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostDoom sells as they say. There's so many ebooks, youtube channels, news letters etc all around the premise of stock market crashes, dollar collapse, property price collapse, commodity price collapse, you name it.
People buy into this mindset. I was guilty of this mindset after the 2008 crash and missed out on 10 years of bull run in the US stock market.
Now I'm never tied to any mindset, but adjust my view day to day. I've applied this to trading and it's proving profitable.
