Jayfax, timelines, events, and charts.

I know you don't think so jayfax. Good effort though and nice try in your explanation. Problem is it don't stack up in facts regards Lloyd's SP and Brexit.

Jayfax, nothing to do with brexit - another excuse.

I remember someone few years back when the SP was 89p predicting a 62p ish SP. A1 knows who it was, cuz he gave me some stick.

The US may well have the things you mention "assets" but their assets won't cover their liabilities WTSHTF. The Chinese yuan with gold backing

Newchurch. Trump during his election campaign said the market was in a bubble. Now he likes to praise himself for markets being higher. He said he's going to drain the swamp - the swamp is now deeper. Deficits are exploding so is borrowing. Unemployment rate 3.8% with 100million yanks off the register and seeking work - go figure. Smoke and mirrors mixed with BS. I agree the US won't give up top dog status easily, hence the massive increase in defence spending on borrowed dollars. The usual action in a country in decline, perceived as a safe haven under reserve currency status. The country relies on confidence in the dollar, and you should know what happens when it's lost - gone forever. The founding fathers would turn in their graves.

Anti-immigrant populist party wins election in Slovenia. Seem to be popular these populists - dunnowhy

Newchurch, I find it odd you believing the US doing well....? Am I missing something? Snige, your posts went completely over me head, didn't under them. So I wacked em through colossus to decifer, takes time you know....it's not looking good.

Civil servants predict Brexit "armageddon"!!! Hardly surprising is it. One of a group of camels with their noses under the tent. Snige - Nothing is 100% cert except death. Stupid statement. But what is becoming more certain is you climbing the plonker index with comments like that. Maybe you should be an undertaker?

Oil rich - country poor.

Venezuela has a bad day everyday

They're in Greenspan mode

Yes troajan, other banks are the same, some worse than others. Can't comment on the miners, but oil is a funny one. The petrodollar will fight to the end. Russians and chinks will see to that - all ready started.

Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output. … A steady rate of monetary growth at a moderate level can provide a framework under which a country can have little inflation and much growth. As long as it doesn't go berserk into the CPI 2-3% the feds are happy, cuz the know the general public won't kick off. But it's higher than that, and that's the way they want it - see! simple really. If it does go beyond expectations it's rate hikes of fiddle the CPI basket of goods which is done on a regular basis.

James, you did...lol. Or a rush to buy a BBQ. Been a warm day, ideal alfresco.

I said goodbye to him. Nice fella, was time to move on.
