Wow that's interesting! The beers were very decent indeed! I sent Gary an email after it went down the toilet asking some simple questions (any relationship with the guy who bought out of pre-pack, whether he still had interest, who enforced etc) got nothing in return....

Nice. After the, I think, Camden town sale I foolishly jumped into a crowd funded raise (redchurch brewery) for low 5 digits It went bust (sketchy prepack), founder spaffed all the money away. Nice early lesson for me on equity rights and controls. At least I hope he had fun with my money

I meant PC. The secondary market for floating rate leveraged loans isn't the most liquid?? Not a load of marks to worry about. Think we're talking across each other a bit (which is not uncommon on this place)

They're floating rate so what are you marking to?
Jim (@whitejames.bsky.social) reply parent
I assumed the private was to offer a distinction to public debt, i.e. bonds. Not the linkage to PE which is coincidental and based on PE love of leverage

I thought the main purpose of the tax break was to encourage saving for retirement, which is then taxed as income when you come to draw it It's a way of smoothing out the benefits of your labour beyond the time you end up working, which in turn helps everyone?

I can't remember precisely (there's a good chance I am muddling my figures). But I think the point is to take income Vs GDP, the median (as the UK super wealthy do skew the figs) and PPP adjustment. But again, I might be wrong. Thought it was in the FT - how the UK is a poor country plus London
Jim (@whitejames.bsky.social) reply parent
I think the median adjusted disposable income for the two countries is within 10% or so
