Twitter user numbers have fallen fast under Elon Musk
And they are falling even faster in the UK than the US

PS. We posting the same content on other platforms, and replies there are open given fewer bots

X “active daily users in the UK have dropped from 8mn a year ago to only around 5.6mn now, with more than a third of that fall coming since the summer riots. The same thing is happening elsewhere, and not just in places where the platform has been banned” https://t.co/Dw0hFQKOQH https://t.co/Gv3MaHtV9z

A Reuters article on the threats of tariffs on European luxury goods in China. The country accounts for about a quarter of #LVMH and #KER sales.

"Dollar-cost averaging would have avoided the repeated missteps that it appears investors made in timing their purchases and sales of sector equity funds. For instance, they added monies in 2014 and 2021, only to see performance slide the following year; and they redeemed assets in 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2022, just before returns snapped back."

Investors have earned 1.1% lower returns than the funds they invested in (in the past 10 years), according to Morningstar.

"Echo chamber" is only a concern if you let algos decide what you read; I use mostly the "following" tab

When AI can generate plausible-sounding content, it's critical to focus on curated sources

I often find new content by ticker search; but I also block any bad accounts I see https://t.co/tESWZhjOA6
