All,
I don’t often post but feel we are all worried about the paper loss last week and our hard earned money losing value.
Some people have gained as always but non traders will feel hurt.
The good news is this is positioning from Trump. We roughly import £60bn from US so tariffs worth £6bn if 10% but export roughly the same so presents an opportunity for Starmer where other countries retaliate we can go to a tariff free zone becoming a hub to do business.
Much of the pain has been priced in for RR. Intrinsic value is assumed £12 so maybe now less but we are still trading below its worth.
Contracts have clauses for taxes hopefully so who knows the mechanics of each deal. May be protected.
RR was the worst impacted last week so clever traders will return as oversold. Company is well run and has a brand which is credible internationally.
Defence stocks have new revenue streams being developed from NATO and a huge opportunity.
Keep positive.
