Are we actually going to dig something up and sell it - astounding !

I agree it is good they were heavily defeated - I preferred the initial prediction of <200 seats - but if you think momentum has been eliminated - you need to think again. There is no credible opposition to the Tories, and that means JRM and the loonie right will call the tune. I don't see that as being any better. As for our economic future - I stand by what I said. Shall we agree to compare notes at the end of January ?

A country can't be "mainly importers" otherwise it goes bust. The one advantage financials have is they can short sell to cover adverse shifts. Do you think we will get the same access to EU financial markets after the no deal - because I think we will be quickly shut out - JMHO. BT may be an importer but its customers rely on exports. Everything is part of one economic web.

I know everyone is getting excited about the election and all, but the £ going up negates gains on foreign markets and while importers may profit exporters will be dragged down. Then there is the fact that leaving without a deal happens in January, Boris's hope is that he gets a deal by end of next year, and until that point i think the market will price in no deal. Therefore financials and even some retail may go with a boom but I'm not sure a rally for overseas earners will be as big as people think or even happen, and \i am pretty sure we will be down again - probably big time - by end of Jan. Has to be said. It is a good thing that the looney left have been heavily defeated, but I don't see them changing. A bad opposition is also a bad thing for the country

Yes I noticed... I know everyone is getting excited about the election and all, but the £ going up negates gains on foreign markets and while importers may profit exporters will be dragged down.

We are more likely to disintegrate further IMHO. The north and western parts of England are not happy with London centricity and nothing will change. The only one I can never figure out is Wales. I really liked the policy of 5 tidal lagoons and huge hydroelectric projects and can't understand why in all this green talk, people don't support hydroelectric as the Scots do - and have benefitted by it. Afterall one thing this country is good at - and will only get better at with global warming - is rain

I agree Frits - and I dont blame you. I only cant understand why after the Brexit vote, the SNP didn't get an immediate surge in support. Kept in the Union on a false premis and then dragged out of Europe against your will. Hell - I could almost forgive you lot all the grief I got when I lived in Glasgow. I think it's too late to stop being ejected now though, we're going to drag you down with us.

As for Trump - even more old flannel.

I don't think you'll get wee crankie. I think she's gong to get her country back and they are going to escape our isolationist self inflicted post brexit destruction

Why - you cannot influence the outcome ?

Yes but its amusing that the rule is they should publish significant news as soon as they confirm its validity. So obviously news has to stop for an election - don't think so. Let's see.

The insiders always know. We are never so lucky - we just have to gamble.

Consider I have 10 in the bank cash and 20 oustanding shares and venture value is 10. I buy 10 shares back and destroy them. I have 10 shares outstanding no cash and a venture value of 10 so nothibg changes except the ratio of pps. So unless divis float your boat buy backs wont.

Crooks - excellent - at last someone who agrees with me.

Somev interesting ones there Troj

Not a very bug jump anyway … so not very big ….

That's because it was a worked sell

Yes but corruption can work both ways - I am sure those that are looking for second suitors now were also buying VAST, PREM and BOD at the bottom and have since sold out. So of course they can walk them down and then buy back in on the quiet. Do you think corrupt people in organisations care about the general well bein of their dependents ? No of course not, so they could be playing this either way, and we would never know.
