Brexit -am I stupid or what

What a load of tosh. The same old scare stories from the usual suspects.

The first article is from a pro European Union organisation so will be biased and taking orders from its Brussels bosses.
Published by Boomberg whos billionaire owner has stated in the past that he wants Britain to stay in Europe.

Second article published in an online subscription only service I dont subscribe to so cant comment on. But remeber this organisation was on the remain side in 2016 and has shown its stance so yet again biased.

The third one from the Bank of England. The man from Canada Mr Carney has a new scare story nearly every month. He has a scare story for any topic. The mans economic forecasts are worthless. Nearly all of them have been proven wrong.

And to quote anything from The Express a paper thats full of scare stories on a daily basis usually weather related granted is laughable.

 

I used to work for a certain company and as such we were allowed to buy shares in a company share save scheme, having no proper pension is seemed like a good idea 25 yrs ago.
Anyway amassed a fair few shares over the years, they were priced at around £19 a share 7 yrs ago, they took a nose dive after Christmas and are now £3 a share.

Yeah, I'll hang on to them and hope things start to look better, but to me the FT 100 is not much use.

 

We know the rules re:the stock market."You may not get back what you put in" and I know I mustn't gamble my life's savings in my Capital & Income Bond but my modest monthly withdrawal buys the odd meal out as a treat and seems to prevent me from being tempted to take out more. Over the years it has served me well and the sum I invested - together with my monthly TREAT withdrawals is giving me a much better return than the standard Bank Interest rate, so I don't get panicky over the dips .

 

The Aim market was full of sharks and crooks from memory. Had a fifty bagger then G. BUSH knackered it

 

Easily explained. 70% of the profit of FTSE100 companies is earned abroad and with global growth currently close to 3.5% (UK growth in the last quarter of 2018 stood at 0.2%) coupled to the weak pound makes it FTSE companies attractive short term propositions to overseas investors which drives the price up. Bear in mind also that these elite companies are also paying dividends in the region of 4/4.5%.
Far more relevant is the FTSE All Share UK index compared to the FTSE All World index. Here we have underperformed at a worrying rate - 20 to 25%!
Most alarming is that Foriegn Direct Investment into the UK has dropped by 90%.

 

thank you @longk

 

AND WE ARE ALL FOOTING THE BILL FOR ALL THIS NUGATORY EXPENDITURE..

 

To me it all adds up to, we aint leaving.
If we do eventually "leave" it will be in name only and still shackled to the EU.

They, the politicians, MPs, have ground us all down, they know we are totally fed up with their squabbling, I think they prefer to call it "discussions".

And now the silly sods think we are going to vote in EU elections, are these people real?
I assume if we do, and if we vote for Farage they will set about altering that as well, not that I will, only thing I will ever vote on again is the rerun of the referendum from 3 yrs ago, when that happens.

My vote will be the same as last time.
But with the extra two fingers.
Up yours you R soles.
