Pensions advice please? - Hi. I've had to retire myself at 53 as I have early onset dementia. I have 2 pensions, one a government pension and one an old railway pension. Neither worth much unfortunately but enough between them to have some nice holidays with my wife and trips and stuff and to get some jobs done here at home which are beyond me and we can't afford to pay for. I don't think I'll reach proper retirement age based on my decline and if I do it'll be worthless to me or my wife as I'll be gone cognitively.
Am I entitled to getting these as lump sums early? I'm in the UK in England. Thanks in advance.

Berkshire is hoarding so. much. cash.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can ... See More rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.

Buffet indicator is showing some wild times ahead perhaps, combine that with Berkshires record high cash hoard of 30%... chart via barchart.com / Longtermtrends

Looks like we're going through something, but who would have thought with all these tarrifs, inflation and trade wars going on

Where does this end up long term with small stocks suffering white giant caps are taking all the coin?
