Yes, but if there is deflation gold will be a store of value. So who is at greater danger USA or China?

I have gone off Raab now I find he is dead against a no deal exit.

One thing no country can do is to prop up its currency. As Thatcher said you cannot buck the market. And of course USA debt is way its biggest ever in trillions, much lent by the Chinese.

Yes she was certainly that. But strangely while she was so stubborn with her own people she let EU run rings round her.

John46 Gold is always a safe haven but there is no yield on it. Do not know where you got that from. It may partly back the renminbi in its efforts to supplant the greenback as reserve currency. This would be a sort of gold standard not seen in 100 years

Ah that Dragi. Stage coach why would there be a flight of currency into the greenback. There is s astrong movement towards the renminbi at present.

Cannot follow the logic. No deal will conclude the problem removing uncertainty. Indeed a lot of stocks surged following Maybots removal.

Churchill was famous for crying maybe his half American parentage. Sadly May had no tears for all the people who were disadvantaged like the West Indians. The Grenfell Tower etc. I think she was exceptionally hard hearted.And of course like many of her predecessors not a conservative.

Who has only got 5 months?

just looked it up. apparently up to yesterday db shares have lost 40% of their value in 10 months. incubo.

Good point. At least my memory did not fail me. I think I am right in saying all British banks passed the B of E stress tests. More than can be said for Italy. Progress made here. My dds are actually being paid now. Seeing Notary and his dominant wife in a medieval palace in Citta di Castella on Monday. It is rented no wonder the fees are high. Even he is in despair at Italian bureaucracy in their banks. And s l o w. I asked for a new cheque book. It only took 3 minutes but does not seem to be personalised and has precisely 7 cheque it is . Needed for people like insurance some of whom dont do plastic!

I seem to remember that there was talk of DB merging with another German bank but that it was a non starter. Onlyif. Dominic Raab is my choice. I liked the fact he was a business man and an international one at that. The best as you say of a bad bunch.

Agreed. Forgive my ignorance but what is DB? I think you have realised with me but not universally on this board that actually GB is in a position of great strength. Not sure how Junkers (to be replaced by Barnier I believe) are going to take the influx of extremist parties.

Just what Junta do you think has been in power since 1707?

If we are in dire straights why is the stock market holding up so well.

Cameron and Johnson have had a long running feud since Eton and have only pretended to be friends. See the biography by Sonia Purnell

The Act of Union was 1707 no wonder I was confused. Stage coach. In fact the UK economy is now one of the strongest in Europe. Why? Because the government has not been managing it. I am not sure who is mentioning flashing red lights. Wishful thinking on your part I think. We have rising wages growth falling unemployment. You should see what it is like here in Italy!

Are you not rather out of date. A lot of shareholder power is now wielded by the institutional shareholders. Eg Fidelity, Standard Life etc

But neither was pm. Plenty of successful baldies around!

ridiculous prejudice. Did not seem to hurt Churchill being bald.

Included on voting slip for AGM. You may have uncertificated stock at your broker when you have to ask for voting. You seem to need a little instruction!
