Brexit and the Consequences

[Atilla]

I don't think that anywhere has high interest rates just now. We have that problem in Spain.

People are buying into shares for that reason but, wait! That entails risk. Company dividends will, eventually, affect prices. Then what?

Yes indeed and this is the reason FTSE100 global index is rising. With fall in pound and easy money with it no where else to go FTSE100 is the best in fact the optimal place to park ones cash.

Can't see the bubble popping with Japan and the UK providing more liquidity. US bound to follow soon along with China.

Just make sure one buys into companies with div cover > 2, I reckon.


Impact of Brexit still to be hit. We simply getting a taste of it at the moment.

When the fan distributes the poohey stuff Brexiters will say we told you so but the ultimate test will be who comes out the other end cleanest. Exciting times. Cusp of a new era we are at )

Are we on Cameron's Honours list?

 

[Mr. Charts]

Are we on Cameron's Honours list?

No, you're not unimportant enough.

 

[DionysusToast]

Are we on Cameron's Honours list?

No - but apparently Peppa Pig is for some reason.

 

[Mr. Charts]

Try "In The Night Garden" for your little one - much better

Also Iggle Piggle was put up by Jeremy Corbyn for a night hood for intellectual stimulation of his supporters.

Also, this is a little too dramatic headline for me.
Pound Tumbles Below $1.30 as Traders Await More Brexit Bad News

Talk of slowdown more than expected in comparison to our EU counterparts should, however, be of concern. This goes against the Brexiters shameful lies about EU slowing down and UK steaming ahead.

 

[Inquisitor]

You have a highly polarised view, what about the shameful lies of the Remainers stating that the FTSE would collapse on an out vote as well as a whole host of other statements most of which have been wrong?

It is still far too early to make any real assessments of what the long term effect will be. Your analysis is akin to attempting to measure a long term monthly or even yearly trend by reading intraday time and sales data.

 

[Mr. Charts]

Hope springs eternal, which is wonderful.
I see we will be doing colossal business with China.....

 

[Mr. Charts]

FTSE 100 rises as sterling falls because many of their earnings are from abroad.

 

[Mr. Charts]

So not a good indicator of UK long term economic growth.

 

[Mr. Charts]

Still too early to tell for sure but signs are not good.

FTSE250 did collapse and if not for actions of BoE the index would be at a very different level to what it is at now.

Political outcome has also been considerably different to what the Brexit clowns led with.

If any of those clowns were in charge now, you'd also see another level for the two FTSEs.

Having said that, glad to see the back of Osborne and find Theresa May a superior upgrade to David Cameron.

The Ftse did fall , ftse shares are priced in pounds the 6800 now = 5900 just b4 brexit .

I can't make out if this is good news or bad but I'm going to read fall in house prices as being positive. In fact lower price of anything or what is free is always better than what one has to pay for; give or take a few losers.

Stuck With U.K., Billionaire Li Warns Brexit Pain to Last Years

Li has much riding on Britain as the country is the biggest profit generator at the billionaire’s business empire. His comments came hours after the Australian government signaled it would block a bid by one of his units for a local electricity distributor, a deal that could have helped the 88-year-old tycoon diversify away from the U.K.


Shouldn't this CEO tycoon be investing in the UK and not away from it? Just asking like?

Seems to me like we are now exporting our foreign investments along with the kitchen sink!

Maybe IF house prices fall then young people could afford to buy them. But I wont hold my breath.

Rate cut following Brexit vote deepened U.K. pension deficits

Declining birth rate, aging population, rising tax burden, lower GDP, rising debt. Baby boomers coming home to roost.

A fund run by Woodford Investment Management LLP has sold its 160 million-pound ($209 million) stake in defense contractor BAE Systems Plc, citing concerns over its underfunded retirement plan in a move that shows how the U.K.’s growing pension crisis is alarming investors.
The CF Woodford Equity Income Fund said in a post on its website that it had unloaded its stake in BAE, which a spokesman pegged at 0.9 percent. The fund, run by Neil Woodford, also recently offloaded a roughly 300 million-pound holding in U.K. telecommunications giant BT Group Plc, whose pension deficit has also swelled.

The Bank of England’s Aug. 4 interest-rate cut, which followed the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union, has reduced the returns that pension funds receive by pushing yields on government bonds to record lows. The total deficit of U.K. defined-benefit pensions has reached a record 1 trillion pounds ($1.29 trillion), after bond yields plunged further on the bank’s failure to buy back sufficient government bonds on Tuesday, according to a report Friday by pensions consultancy Hymans Robertson.
