No More Handouts From Benny and Co?

[FilipinoHibs]

Folks on here are probably aware the world's stock and bond markets are in meltdown. Central banks are raising interest rates to fight surging inflation. A global recession is on the cards.

Benny's Scottish Mortgage is down 56% from its peak. Tech stocks are in meltdown with Tesla down 48% and the speculative Ark tech fund down 77%. The broad US stockmarket is down over 20%.

The nearest comparison is tge 1973 to 1975 period. Then football clubs did not depend on rich individuals with a high paper wealth.

That has changed and many clubs are now financed by such people. This might see a bursting of the great football bubble as owners start tightening up their finances. Our own Ron will be taking a hit to. The masses themselves will be looking to cut back on their luxury spending as inflation eats into their finances. So expect to see a reduction in subscriptions to Sky Sports etc and a reduction in season ticket sales.

Players' wages will have to come down to deal with this new economic climate.

The Oil Princes of course will benefit from the high oil prices and the Man Cities of this world will be partially protected.

Fair enough all this new stuff but have you not been saying this for years? And he's still giving them cash....plus others

He, personally (not SM), has committed himself "in the long term " to financially support Hearts.

Some of his wealth tied up in SMT but all asset classes are down heavily. Paper wealth will be a lot smaller now.

[FRes Hibbie]

You hint that Hearts might be not get any more cash from their benefactor - to the extent it’s worth starting a new thread to mention.

This might happen because of an economic downturn you predicted some time ago but you also predicted it’ll be the average folk that have to pay the price.

Oh also, our own owner will probably take a hit to the pocket too.

What exactly is your point?

Empty vessel making noise.

Think my point is pretty obvious in my post.

[BILLYHIBS]

Don’t panic Pike !

So what do you suggest us investors do sit tight or crystallise our loss ?

It makes you wonder how much Ron has pumped into our club during the recent pandemic

I bet at times he wishes he hadn’t bothered

The club needs us supporters now more than ever in these difficult financial times and 10000 have stepped up to the plate with more no doubt to follow before the big kick off

All we need now is a team on the park worth supporting

IIRC rightly, you are regularly on here with this line, or a derivation of it. Anderson’s wealth is far greater than his interest in this. He is fully committed to continue to fund Hearts. In fact recently I heard, he was pushing for those on the Hearts board who weren’t going to put their money down too, to be replaced by those who will. They are currently in rude financial health..As good as they’ve ever been probably. Anything else is fanciful.

The financial landscape has changed dramatically particularly over the last few weeks. Benny and other individuals whose wealth is attached to the financial markets are significantly less well off. They will be reappraising their financial commitments.

In broad terms, that is everyone then. Outside of those who have assets that are guaranteed (e.g. a guaranteed final salary pension).

However for the vast majority, they will be in funds that are diversified across the world and across different markets.

If you had all your money tied up in oil and gas, you will be making a fortune - however, even the Saudis who have a huge wealth fund will not have everything tied up in these and will be diversified like everyone else.

Most people look on investment decisions over the longer term - While you are right that the S&P 500 is down 20% over the last 6 months..............but even with that loss it is still up 54% over the last 5 years.

I dont see James Anderson changing his commitment to Hearts funding, he doesnt strike me as someone who would commit the cash unless it was freely available.

SMT started its decline last November when Benny was at the helm. Previous low was March. All before he left. He does not seem to have taken appropriate action. Everything is down there are no hiding places unless he was in Oil. Cash is no good with inflation running at 10%. This a rerun of 73-75 but with addition of pandemic, climate chaos and a prolonged war in Europe.

I posted a doomsday scenario on a Financial network yesterday. It got 23,000 views, 100s of likes and tens of shares. This is from financial professionals most of whom are hurting badly. Batten down the hatches where are in for a long storm.

James Anderson clearly knows his stuff when it comes to the markets, more than the OP does, so I'm sure none of this is a massive shock to him.

Can you link your article? It would be good to get other peoples perspective on your view - which I'm sure is a well educated one by the way.

The only thing I disagree with you on is that he will suddenly pull the plug and Hearts will start to circle the drain again: I don't think he will and even if he does they have 8000 fans digging in to their pockets every month to put extra cash in to the club, as well as their European football generating extra cash.

I don't think he will pull the plug but be more prudent

Here is my post on Financial media group:

Is This 1973 All Over Again?

In 1973 there was as an oil price shock when the Arab producers cut off supplies to those countries that supported Israel in its war in the occupied Palestinian territories and Golan Heights.

There was a surge in inflation that averaged 11% in 1974. As inflation ate into people's buying power, unsold goods built up in warehouses. Companies cut back on production and laid off workers with unemployment reaching 9% in the major economies.

A recession followed that lasted 17 months from November 73. The global economy shrank by 3.2%.

The Dow Jones sank 45% and did not recover its pre recession peak until 1983 after a second milder recession.

The parallels with today are frightening.

[FilipinoHibs]

No I did not say that. I pointed out at the time we did not know who Benny was, a poster who knew the chairperson of FOH, said that Benny was prioritising other causes when the markets melted down at the outbreak of Covid 19.

I pointed out if there was another meltdown which I predicted would happen this year there would be a similar reappraisal. We are in the middle of that meltdown now.

Is This 1973 All Over Again Part Two ?

The 1973 Middle East War only lasted 19 days.

The current war is in Europe in the Ukraine and is over 100 days old with no end in sight.

The war in 1973 hit oil prices. The Ukraine war has hit oil, gas, wheat and fertiliser prices.

We are more dependent on global trade than we were in 1973. This means high oil prices hit the cost of transporting goods so has a more inflationary impact now than it did in 1973.

In 2021 the warehouses of the world were being filled with goods in the expectation of high consumer demand. World trade in 2021 was $28.5 trillion, 13% higher than in 2019. As inflation eats into consumers spending power, we are seeing a massive overproduction of goods lying unsold in these warehouses. Producers will cut back on producing goods and making some of their workers redundant.

There was no global pandemic in 1973 with broken supply chains.

There was no climate chaos in 1973.

The US debt to GDP was 33% in 1973, currently it is 140%.

Central banks typically cut interest rates and pump money into the economy to recover from a recession. In 1973 they could not do that because they were fighting inflation. The same applies now which is why we are likely to see a prolonged recession and a long period of stagflation.

This is just the start. Situation is very similar to 1973 when 50% was knocked off the value of shares. That takes us back to 5 year ago levels. Inflation is running at 10% a year eroding wealth with it. The US central bank sees inflation elevated until at least 2024 and they have been behind the curve on everything. We know from another poster that Benny was going to cut back on his commitment to Hearts when we had the covid-19 crash. Things are much worse with inflation and war in Europe. No Baillie Gifford salary and bonus now.

History tells us that it's not the very rich who suffer most during downturns - it's the ordinary man in the street. I don't know anything about him, but I'd be surprised if a large part of his wealth wasn't suitably protected.

On this website would it not be more relevant to discuss the potential consequences for Hibs?

[ScottB]

Ultimately, the guy isn’t an idiot. I’m sure if folk on here could see a downturn coming that might have effected his wealth, either he or an adviser of his will have too.

Can’t fault his generosity, we’re all lucky Hearts have largely wasted what he’s given them.

James Anderson among them ? :greengrin

Has Andersons name ever appeared on a Scottish rich list.

The Sunday times didn’t do a Scots list this year, apart from top 10 or so, and the Insider magazine has a top hundred rich Scots but it’s for subscribers only.

Thanks. The developments we have seen in the last few days will be making many investors reaccess their commitments. You may be right. If you have a very very big fortune that becomes a very big fortune and you are senior in years what are you going to do with that money?

The only doubts I have is that a poster who knew the chairperson of FOH stated Benny was reassessing his charity priorities after the Covid 19 2020 crash. The situation is a lot worse now with Benny semi retired and his assets sinking in value. We will see. As to will be Doctor Budge's.
