Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

on that basis it's surprising to see DAX roaring ahead

Deutsche is in trouble by the sounds of it ,been in the papers this week . Be careful with the DAX i put a short on FTSE this morning going too far too fast maybe the same with the DAX .

certainly there's money to be made on DAX - in both directions

Index Trading with the MT4 Somnus EA
is a good and knowledgeable thread, but the system and application may be beyond my tiny brain

I'm liking what i am hearing from May in Birmingham so far ,it looks like won't accept free movement ,lets wait and see.

Theresa May has set Britain on course to leave the EU by 2019 in her first major speech on Brexit, saying that the UK would become a "fully independent, sovereign" country in the clearest sign yet that she wants a clean break from Europe's single market. The prime minister told cheering Conservative supporters at the Tory party's annual conference that Britain would insist on taking full control of immigration and refuse to accept the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice

A dream, when you wake up in the morning is still a dream!

Better than a nightmare though .

Nice one TM , always knew she was a closet leaver.

Hard Brexit it is then.

And your coming with us Scotland so get used to it Nicola.

there's a great many twists and turns still to come and it just may be that one party or another will manipulate a position whereby an early GE is indeed called

anyway, this so-genannte Great Repeal Act sounds an excellent way of taking power back from Brussels without throwing sensible legislation out with the bath water

lots and lots for fred to stay grumpy about :-)

When the pound sterling reaches parity with the Euro, will it be a good thing, or are we heading to be just another banana republic?

i see no reason at all for € persistent strength, but except when it went to 1.40 about 18 months ago, (imo) it has been ridiculously o'valued and still is

If/when the quid reaches parity with the €urobun, the €uropean exporters can say goodbye to the british market...should do wonders for their economies.

Max.

Have an interesting read:

Don't believe it:

It is an interesting read Fred.

Shame it's so one sided, and assumes that various countries inside the €U are willing to commit economic suicide by excluding blighty flat out.

The trade split as I have read is about 60/40 in the €urozones favour.

For example:

Blighty is the german car manufacturers biggest export destination.

We buy more French wine than any other country.


That's just two examples..but it boils down to cutting off your nose to spite your face.


Do you really think they will do that...really?

French wine will be too expensive for you.

Try Central Valley Chilean.

I doubt that once the real chaos of Brexit starts that the UK will be the flavour of the month, except for turning London into a weekend trip venue for the French and Germans.

(Forgot about visas.)

The unions on it's way out anyway .

there's loads of rubbish being spouted everywhere including here
95% of what you read on brexit will be for domestic consumption
the actuality will not be apparent for a great many more months - eg about 2 years

Manuel,

I have a spare cork for you to use.

i use a vacuvin which keeps the wine fine ......

personally, i find that the quality of chilean wines has fallen away in recent years as more and more vines are planted and higher yields encouraged

some of the argentinian whites are very good and also (so i am told) their reds
recently came across a uruguayan red which was suprisingly good
