    Anyone clued up on amp pairings for old speakers in here? I have some lovely Sony E70s that were being run on a Denon amp I inherited. This has now packed in, and it feels time to get a replacement. Would 'anything' do? Or is it worth getting something decent? Mostly used for streaming through a bluetooth receiver, so not in the market for major audiophilia. Cheers!

    What do you mean by 'lack of intrinsic value'? Not being difficult, just curious to hear what makes you think that.

    If you can handle it (lots of 'bro-ness'), this video series explores some of the intricacies that are impacting MSTR price in relation to BTC (and why they think mNAV is about to explode): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I16llak_IS4&ab_channel=QuantBros

    Yes hopefully. Feel a bit daft having only just learned I could move a pension into a new SIPP and buy international shares, as if I'd known I'd have done it months ago (when I bought MSTR in my shares ISA).

    Big chance of MSTR inclusion into some weighty index funds next year so still feels relatively early with a long enough time horizon...

    MSTR is at $305 pre-market... and I'm still waiting for the SIPP to move 🙃

    Just submitted a transfer request out of an old pension into a new SIPP account. Incoming smash buy of MSTR stock the minute it clears...

    Depends where you work. In professional services, you are now allowed to accept very little, things like meals, gifts and corporate hospitality have been cut way back and are subject to pre-approval and very strict monetary limits, offers to pay for travel/accommodation costs are generally verboten.

    Yes, and the key word here is 'accept'. Much of what's listed isn't used, but the rules require it's catalogued and assigned a monetary value (glasses and suits notwithstanding).

    Although if I'm honest, I'd rather Keir looked peng in nice suits and designer glasses. Man's got a big job on.

    The fact that client journos have been able to so easily play us all with this shit is truly sad. Comparing gifts (at no cost to the tax payer) with the rampant dishonest and self-serving behaviour we've seen in the last 14 years is madness. We deserve everything we get.

    Do you think the majority of things listed were requested? Or could be stopped? Step into any commercial office anywhere on the planet and you'll find stacks of unsolicited shite / tickets / invites / hospitality offers that have come through the door. Compiling a list of what you received doesn't equate to condoning it.
