Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

my facebook page as had over 1000 hits today on get us out of the eu gravy train
great response . we are nearly out just have to wait till the 23rd

what will the in campaigner scum now do will they all step down in shame over all their lies

I see lots of stock prices are going down on pretty low volumes.

What will happen to them when we do get the 'OUT' result? More 'down' or a 'levelling out'?

That's when we will also get to see who our 'friends' really are. I don't think France or Germany are. Maybe Spain and Portugal are friends and also Holland, Norway, Sweden Denmark. I'm not sure about Italy, Belgium or Greece

The only country that would be likely to leave the EU after us is Denmark.

i see lots of good news for my index shorts :-))

in the event of an "out" majority, the global markets will crash pretty hard while they try to determine the real effect
picking the point at which to buy will be a matter of faith

at some point prior to the referendum, i will (if i have any sense) close all my current index positions and subsequently re-open in one direction or another with guaranteed stops

If we vote leave, I would expect the pound and stocks to fall on Friday. However, if Leave is looking strong before the vote the market should fall quite heavily next week and recover on the Friday or Monday. They say 'move on rumours and recover on confirmation'.

Uncertainty is the game right now.

the market will rise big time on a leave vote .the money will pour in to the uk
remember this French rich and Italians will buy british and shares

I can see no reason why money should pour into UK as our future is very uncertain for several years.

hay it will be far more uncertain for the corrupt eu with 20b less to spend and no chance of Greece or the other countries paying more money into the kitty

and gemany having to find work for a million migrants and feed and house them
and the ones that leave the uk .
then vw and its massive fines that are coming plus another big issue for the germans coming it will tear the germans apart vw will have to cut wages cut pensions and pay more into the eu coffers .

MERKIL DAYS ARE NUMBERED AND WILL BE DRIVEN OUT OF GERMANY THE EVIL BITCH

Safe haven for hot money?



London house prices up 14% in a year, ONS data shows


In London the average house price is now more than £470,000



http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/london-house-prices-up-14-in-a-year-ons-data-shows-a7081566.html

uk investment property is likely to benefit as it will be much cheaper due to falling £
uk exporters will benefit for the same reason
uk companies with a high proportion of overseas earnings will benefit for the same reason

==============

london house prices have stagnated at best
in fact, ask any estate agent, and he'll tell you if he's honest that properties are not shifting at all
the referendum is trotted out as an excuse

highest luxury end is suffering worst as chinese, russian and nigerian buyers run for the hills before their swags of cash are investigated under the ever-tightening laundering laws

I had a booking to go to the south of france for all of august for 11 of us we have cancelled . we are going to go to florida to say we are here for our American friends

The average house price for London is not accurate. It is distorted by the very high end properties. The average house that real people buy are much cheaper.

Economies are stagnating, the currencies and debt markets determine winners and losers.
With it's massive debt, it is doubtful if the US dollar can retain it's status as the world's default currency much longer. The US Fed has bailed out a lot of private debt holders, the ECB holds lots of euro private debt and China and Japan governments hold a lot of their private debts. Our own Bank of England has bought up a smaller chunk of UK private debt. In a large part private debt is now part nationalised.

Now that all else has just about failed, the world's central banks are set to re inflate the worlds economy by going for the helicopter solution of throwing out money and going negative on interest rates.

Sterling is unlikely to be left standing, much less make it into the top league.
Who ever can wipe out most debt wins.
The surprise might be how well the Euro comes out of it. Who knows.

Anyway, In or Out we might just trigger the cascade.

Go to cash. But which currency.??? And maybe too late for sterling holders.

my info is from the horses mouth
though prices may (arguably) have risen 14% in the last year, it does not tell you anything about the current state of the market
and is that 14% on asking price or completions?

will - i don't agree at all with your argument re $, but of course the answer to your last para is that gold is likely to be taken as the safe haven as has traditionally been the case

Gold is already showing signs of being a hedge. If we leave I have no doubt our economy will receive a hit in the short term at least. The same applies to the EU and probably the US. It has the prospect of causing a recession, hopefully mild, in the UK, EU and US. I will vote out, but I have a worry that it may create havoc across Europe.

If they do go for the helicopter solution at the ECB then it'l weaken the euro
and thus make the pound a safe haven.
