Great stuff! I tend to agree with No.3 particularly, some ETF exposure to VUKE (or similar) rather than just something like VWRL would be my pick for cost averaging in ETF type investors.

My predictions:

  1. UK BoE interest rates stay at 4.25% or above by year end (current 5.25%).
  2. House prices grow +5% or more in nominal terms (due to some govt pumps for election) based on either Halifax or Nationwide indexes.
  3. Govt changes inheritance tax to be lower (donโ€™t think they will abolish fully though)

Some stock predictions:

  1. Boston Omaha ends year above $20
  2. Markel buys back over 4% of their shares in 2024
