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.

I second that EL. David Stevenson has come up with some cracking Investment Trusts this year, such as UEM (161p now 208p).

The pound has recently been sliding to new lows...

But this is nothing say some experts. The real fall is yet to come.

One expert (I'm don't know who) is predicting a potential 30% drop from around here at least, say some commentators. It could be more.

The truth is, we just don’t know how far the pound could fall when Article 50 is invoked and trigger-happy traders and bitter EU bureaucrats ‘attack’ the pound.

Stock up with
a. plenty of toilet paper and
b. a piece of leather to bite hard on whilst you are gritting your teeth waiting for all those shorts to close after this event has happened.

'Good luck' to those traders who feel good enough and well organised enough to catch this stuff when it happens. Sorry, but I'm not one of them - but I might try and catch events at or near the bottom a couple of times.

And I suppose, just the opposite to Gordon Brown selling gold, Theresa won't be broadcasting the date and time of the doing of it in advance of it happening.

Friends in the city advised GB????

Or enemies, just to make a fool of him?

or to line their own pockets.

Lol yeah that must be it , Gordon always was a good listener wasn't he !

Don't know.

Never spoke to him!

Fred

I was wondering...

Does your lift go up to the top floor?

Of course, you are all right.

Well, some of you.

"JP Morgan Cazenove has downgraded its position on British stocks while upgrading euro zone equities, citing negative pressures on British equities from rising gilt yields as one of its main reasons.

"Last week we took profits on our Emerging Markets 'overweight', as it became a consensus long, the U.S. dollar is moving higher, the Fed is coming up and Chinese property tightening is restarting," JP Morgan Cazenove equity strategist Mislav Matejka said in a note.

"Today we build on this move by cutting UK, which was our key OW this year, foreign exchange hedged. UK benefited from large emerging market exposure, low yields and British pound weakness. UK bond yields are rebounding, and this is clearly not 'for the right reasons'," he added.

He added that euro zone stocks looked better, on expectations they would benefit from the euro falling against the dollar and since European bank stocks could benefit from higher bond market yields, which could help their profits.

British 10-year gilt yields this month hit their highest level since June's Brexit vote, on concerns over a 'hard Brexit' in which Britain leaves the EU's single market in order to adopt immigration controls, disrupting access to its main trading partner."

Russia has a terrible leader.

Scotland's Sturgeon Calls Brexit Talks With May "Frustrating"

But what can you expect to say from a "frust" b!tch ( Scottish First Minister ) ....Salmon!

is she a woman she looks more like a man

Would prefer this mob.

Tell us something we didn't know. The compulsory aid budget could only have been dreamed up by politicians with no real world experience. I am warming to Priti Patel, she talks sense.

British taxpayers’ money is being wasted on “superficial” foreign aid projects by some of the world’s biggest international bodies, Priti Patel has warned.
In her first newspaper interview since becoming International Development Secretary, Ms Patel told The Telegraph that her department will in the coming weeks “call out” foreign aid organisations using British money in “completely the wrong way”.
And she disclosed that in future Union flags should be displayed on all British foreign aid packages, in a major show of “soft power” in the wake of Brexit.
Speaking on a trip to Africa, she warned that she will “shut down” any British funding streams found to be “wasting” money.
