Brexit deal agreed, pound and markets roofing

Can't blame them for wanting the best for their country. The UK has left itself open to being broken up with the whole Brexit process. Eventually we'll all be separate countries again thanks to the 51%

Can delay as long as they like, but at the end of the day the DUP are not having it. They've pretty much got a veto on it until they're happy. I think it highly likely to kick the can down the road, be that with a view that we are getting closer blah blah, or an outright barriers still remain commentary. Any negativity and I feel it will be a bloodbath later, across all ftse markets.

The currency market is suggesting it will be a negative update as the pound is weaker. That said it is bouncing around alot so hard to judge.

Eu press conference at 2 today supposedly. Whatever they say will guide the share price for all UK stocks this afternoon. Positive should see nice gains, negative and I suspect RMG will test the high 190's.

Feels to me very much like it's like wanting something for nothing. I'm sure we'd all love a pay rise, but we only get it if we work hard and do well for the company, be that by making them money or improving efficiency. Rewards and incentives are fair, but it feels like CWU want it without necessarily putting in any work. Long term it will simply encourage RMG to automate more and more roles, and I don't blame them for that. Unions are self destructive for their members long term in the modern work of tech advancement.

Around 6m people in the UK earn less than the mimimum living wage, add to that 1.3m unemployed, add those on disability or those on low cash paid work and that's a big chunk of society that earn significantly less than those strikers whinging about having to work a less than normal working hour week, on excellent salaries and packages. I'm sorry but Joe Public will have no sympathy for Royal mail strikers. Add to that the millions of people who work long hours in crap jobs, and I'd be amazed if even a handful of people had any sympathy for RMG strikers.

I love how the CWU 'Hopes the public gets behind strike action'. Well I'm a member of the public and I can say I have zero sympathy for their plight. Get back to work and stop whinging about earning more than most people in the country do! Show me one member of the public that has any sympathy for people striking on such good employment contracts. I'd just hire loads of temp workers and let them strike for eternity personally.

Still think 230. No resistance between 220 and 230 so when we break 220 will get there pretty quickly.

Yes, I think we will see 230 by close

So what was the deal they agreed. I can't find any reference to it on the facebook page.

I find it a bit weird that their page has it ah woohoo look at us we got a yes vote etc. It's a bit of an odd mentality, like they've won a new contract or cured cancer. Very strange folk unions, can't abide them in any form of business. Their existence is utterly pointless in my view.

Strap yourselves in then folks and enjoy the ride

If that's true then this will be a roofer later

Try the SXX board, vast majority on their are as offensive as they come. Only board I've had to report people for abusive and racist comments. I don't understand how some people feel it's ok to write what they do sometimes. Not one for policing free speech but so many people cross the line on there.

I dont think ayone thinks they own shares Red. Just like Falk, all words. Always fun to read though hence why I've not filtered them, I quite enjoy reading the posts albeit with a smile on my face.

Scamp. Any strike news is utterly dwarfed by any brexit update. A strike is factored in, its known there is a vote. Brexit is still 50/50, hence why any brexit news has such a massive impact on UK stocks (see Friday's moves on a little hope). You seem too overly obsessed with any strike action. Strikes have very limited impact and are limited in scope and timeframe (strikes arent indefinite, and not everyone strikes). personally I care nothing at all for a yes or no strike vote, irrelevant in the grand scheme. Whether we leave or stay with brexit affects decades of UK and company financials and has a correspondingly large impact on share prices. Focus on one thing too much and you lose money I'm afraid.

I'm not commenting on other people Mike, I'm just saying how you come across. Anyway, enough of discussing it with you, behave as you wish, I wont be paying any more attention to your comments.

I don't know your past on here, but your messages come across as a little spiteful. If that's your bag then so be it, but in life I find it's always best to be civil with other people, even those you disagree with.

So you come on to a message board to post negative messages to make yourself feel good Mike, I don't get it? That's pretty low in my book. Wouldn't your time be best served in focusing on something more constructive?
