KissAnneMr. Orange and his <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tariffs</a> have had a huge effect on stock markets and so on my "voluntary <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pension" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pension</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/savings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#savings</a>".

C.Yes, you take your chances - there's the occasional outright scam, or so-so quality parts (like the ones that inspired me to write this), but you go into it with your eyes open. You take a chance because it's dirt cheap.And 90% of the time, the parts are just fine.For anything important, or safety-related, or mains-connected, or anything I build for other than personal use, I won't use yum-cha parts like this. For those, I order good name-brand parts from a reputable supplier (Newark/Element14/RS, DigiKey, etc).But for hobbyists just having fun, messing around? AliExpress and friends are an absolute godsend. You can now get into hobby electronics for practically nothing, and build stuff and see if you like it.There's a place for quality parts, and a place for cheap parts. Knowing which is which isn't hard.Three cheers for cheap components!2/2<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/build" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#build</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maker</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/circuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#circuit</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/student" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#student</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/money" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#money</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/savings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#savings</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/cheap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cheap</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/DigiKey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigiKey</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/RS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RS</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Newark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Newark</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayLike Rachel Reeves, Maria Luís Albuquerque (EU financial services commissioner) has no doubt been lobbied the financial services sector; she is making similar calls for people to be 'incentivised' to use their savings to invest in stocks & shares, not just use savings accounts.What they both should recognise is this is an issue of both a lack of trust (in financiers) & an issue of precarious retirement making people risk adverse with their savings for old age.<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/savings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#savings</a> h/t FT

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayClaims about the better return on stocks & shares ISAs against cash ISAs do two things:1. they flatter stock market returns by carefully picking the period that they report returns for, wilfully ignoring that many savers are not wanting long-term commitments but are parking money they may well need in the medium term;2. many cash ISA holders explicitly do not want to risk their capital for the reason above!Rachel Reeves should ignore the bankers & listen to voters.... <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/savings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#savings</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayIf Rachel Reeves does cave into the growing pressure from financial services firms to scrap cash ISAs to 'encourage' more savers to invest in stocks & shares, ignore claims its to enable savers to get bigger returns or that its a part of a 'growth' strategy.Its entirely about financial services firms wanting to have a larger group of people to charge for their (frankly) pretty inconsistent & over-priced services.The bankers are not trying to help you... just themselves!<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/savings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#savings</a> h/t FT
