[MR. DAWES SR.]
If you invest your tuppence wisely in the bank, safe and sound
Soon that tuppence, safely invested in the bank will compound

And you'll achieve that sense of conquest as your affluence expands
In the hands of the directors who invest as propriety demands

[MR. BANKS, spoken]
May I, sir?

[MR. DAWES SR., spoken]
Carry on, Banks

[MR. BANKS (MR. DAWES SR., spoken)]
You see, Michael
You'll be part of railways through Africa (Exactly)
Dams across the Nile (The ships, tell them about the ships)
Fleets of ocean Greyhounds (More, tell them more)
Majestic, self-amortizing canals (How it fires the imagination)
Plantations of ripening tea

[BANK DIRECTORS]
All from tuppence prudently, thriftilly, frugally invested in the
To be specific
In the Dawes, Tomes, Mousely, Grubbs Fidelity Fiduciary Bank

[MR. BANKS (MR. DAWES SR., spoken)]
Now, Michael
When you deposit tuppence in a bank account, soon you'll see
That it blooms into credit of a generous amount semiannually

[BANK DIRECTORS]
And you'll achieve that sense of stature as your influence expands
To the high financial strata that established credit now commands

You can purchase first and second trust deeds
Think of the foreclosures
Bonds, chattels, dividends, shares
Bankruptcies, debtor, sales, opportunities
All manner of private enterprise
Shipyards, the mercantile, collieries, tanneries
Incorporations, amalgamations, banks

[MR. BANKS]
You see, Michael

[BANK DIRECTORS]
Tuppence
Patiently, cautiously, trustingly invested in the
To be specific
In the Dawes, Tomes, Mousely, Grubbs Fidelity Fiduciary Bank

Week in Review: 24-28 March 2025

Financial Markets This week the S&P500 and the NASDAQ 100 re-tested support, losing 1.5% and 2.4%, respectively. The small cap index (Russel 2000) was down by 2.3%. Trading volumes were average during the week but declined on Friday. Precious metals remain strong. Gold continues making new all-time-highs - now at 3084$/oz. Silver gained 3.3% and is going to re-test the 34-35$ level again. WTI is still close to support and went up by 1.1% to ~69$/bbl. If it continues falling, the next support levels are at 64 and 62$. Bitcoin fell 4.3%, contradicting the previous week's move. It is essentially trading sideways, like the equity market. The key resistance and support levels on Bitcoin, for the short term, are 92k$ and 72-74k$, respectively. The relative strength of the US dollar (DXY) was essentially unchanged and is still at 104. The EUR/USD is around 1.082$, the GBP/USD is at 1.294$, and the USD/JPY is at 149.82 JPY. US M2 money supply at the date of 24th February 2025 w...

Week in Review: 31 March - 4 April 2025

Financial Markets This week the S&P500 and the NASDAQ 100 dropped 9.1% and 9.8%, respectively. The small cap index (Russel 2000) was down by 9.5%. Trading volumes were above average especially on Thursday and Friday (after President Trump announced the new tariffs). The price action on precious metals was mixed... Gold dropped only 1.5% but silver tumbled 13.3%. Silver has a considerable industrial use, as does copper - both saw a big selloff this week, which signals that the market is expecting an industrial slowdown. WTI also fell considerably (9.7%) due to lower demand fears - it now sits at 62$/bbl. If it continues falling, the next support levels are at 58$ and 54$. Bitcoin was essentially unchanged for the week (+0.27%). This was a positive surprise because Bitcoin is usually considered a risk asset and it should have sold off together with the stock market! It is probably too soon for a Bitcoin selloff as retail investors are not panicking or in the need for liquidity ...

Week in Review: 7-11 April 2025 - Bond Market Chaos and Tariff Suspension

Financial Markets This week the S&P500 and the NASDAQ 100 recovered 5.7% and 7.4%, respectively. The S&P seems to have support at ~5000 and ~5200. The small cap index (Russel 2000) was up by 1.8%. Trading volume spiked on Wednesday (tariff suspension announcement) but was more subdued on Thursday and Friday as the markets chopped up and down looking for direction... The price action on precious metals was also positive. Gold made a big move (5.6%) and closed the week at 3236$, another all-time-high. Gold may retrace back to ~3100$, at the top-end of the previous trend. Silver also made a big move, but seems stuck in the range 29-34$/oz.   During the week, WTI momentarily hit 55$, but recovered and closed at ~61$/bbl. If it continues falling, the next support level is around 54$. Bitcoin was up by ~8% and is now around 84600$. Bitcoin has been holding up pretty well given that it is usually considered a risk asset and it should have sold off together with the stock m...
