Interesting. Would you also not have suffered massive real loss from inflation over ten years eroding your return?

You are right about not being able to account for behaviour. I would love to sit down and model the macroeconomic possibilities, as well as the potential behavioural implications. In response to some of your points, if you have little consi

If you have wealth right now, you have two options: Sit on it Invest it Currently, if you invest it you are penalised by income and capital gains taxes in excess of 20%. Under my proposal, you are taxed at 3% for investing.

There is no doubt that some individuals with massive wealth will consider leaving. However, looking at the history of tax rises and the competitive landscape, people don't move. Broken down: UK top rate tax was raised from 40% to 50% two ye

I'm sorry, but I'm going to be harsh with you: that's an incredibly ignorant comment. Everyone would not move their money out of the UK, because: - £3trillion is in UK property - that is going nowhere - a small proportion have wealth - thos

Once Starbucks are on the Square system, might that be the perfect opportunity for Square to flip a switch and ask customers for their bank details? If Square could do a GoCardless with all those consumers that use Square, both Square and m

I was loving it! Feeding the M.A.L.E. was awesome. Then, when I was about to be rewarded... I was redirected to a webpage that asked me to choose between plans... Surely after I've fed the M.A.L.E. you TELL me what I need and how much it'll

Incredible! Obviously my comment has no credibility in the US. It's incomprehensible in Europe to incur such costs. Have you guys thought that you have such high costs because the massive US insurance industry is taking a cut?

I really don't understand the obsession with insurance, especially medical insurance. Does NOBODY understand that the casino/insurance company DOES NOT LOSE. i.e. YOU pay them more money than they will EVER pay for your treatment... The min

The VERY SAME happens even when lawyers are involved. If you're naive, paying a lawyer doesn't protect you from that. But ASKING people who have been there and done this (and made mistakes) DOES protect. Far moreso than a lawyer who is just
