Call me Dave should listen to an ex PM expert - given he's so blooming useless in the role

Vote him out post the vote - even if we remain

No more irrelevant than Cameron's comments regarding a car's ailments zangdook and as to why he'd listen to "experts" for what was wrong. Tell that to all the customers who went to Fastfits in the past and were told they needed items they didn't. As John Redwood rightly said, these so called experts have been massively wrong too many times to be relied on. Like Cameron and Osborne they have taken a worst case scenario in terms of their forecast instead of a realistic more likely view. I'm only sorry that the Leave campaign hasn't produced their own calculations to counter Remain instead of totally concentrating on Immigration which I think has been a mistake which I fear will cost them a win. As far as Turkey is concerned, there is no question that they will join the EU over time which I still believe will be within 5-10 years when entry requirements will be fudged to fit as was done with the likes of Greece, Iceland and Portugal and others. After a good week last week, the terrible murder of Jo Cox has turned the debate on it's head and will now I fear damage, irreparably the Leave campaign. It shouldn't for all our futures but I believe it will. The only positive is that the HSBA share price should fly but I'd rather forego that for a leave vote to get us out of this abomination.

Seems like the momentum is now firmly with stay - but who knows? Intriguing week ahead when careers will be made and lost...

Another person giving an irrelvant example. WTF does the millennium bug have to do with it?

[xxxxxy] 19/6/2016 13:01

The Past is indeed another country, but the Future is also another country, and there really maybe a chance to change the Future for the better. But there is the need for optimism and conviction to want to change for the better and improve matters. Staying with the status quo is the easy comfort zone option. Britain is the Future,so need to vote LEAVE the EU and OUT of the EU to finally give Britain that chance. It is the last chance, as they in Brussels/EU will never give us the chance of Freedom again.

'The economic experts concerns on Brexit have all the potency of the Millennium bug experts
By JOHN REDWOOD | Published: JUNE 19, 2016
In the run up to the new millennium a vast array of experts told us that our computers would not work and civilisation as we know it would come to a halt unless we took expensive and massive remedial actions. Many of us ignored this advice and did nothing. When we came to turn on our computers on 1 st January 200 they worked fine, as did all the main public systems.

The so called expert opinion that if we vote to leave the EU we will see a plunging pound, soaring interest rates and a recession has all the potency of the Millennium bug scares. So far despite the probability of Brexit rising, UK interest rates have fallen and the pound has held its value against the dollar. The experts have been wrong again.

I keep getting asked how can I think I am right about no Brexit recession when I am up against the Treasury, the Bank of England and the IMF amongst others? I reply, because they have been wrong about these big matters so often before. Look at the track records.

I opposed the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, on the grounds it would badly damage our economy. The Treasury, Bank and IMF recommended it. It gave us a very bad recession in the early 1990s, destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs and many businesses.

I wrote books and took a campaign around the country to explain how damaging joining the Euro would be for the UK. It was voters, not the institutions, who kept us out of a very dangerous project. The damage I feared was visited instead on Greece, Southern Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. They were plunged into deep recessions, made to cut spending drastically, and ended up with very high unemployment.

I with the whole Opposition in Parliament told the Bank and the Treasury that they were too lax in expanding credit before the 2008 bust. They did it nonetheless.

I warned against excessive tightening in 2007-8. They ignored the warnings and brought several major banks down, creating the biggest post war recession of them all.

These so called experts did not forecast the biggest two recessions of recent years, and did not understand how their policies created them. Why then should we think their current forecasts have any probability of being right?

There will be no recession from Brexit. Our trade is not at risk. We start our negotiations with the rest of the EU from the position of having common rules and standards and no tariffs. Who wants to change that? Certainly not Germany, who sells us so much more than we buy from them.

A future recession is possible, in or out of the EU but it will have nothing to do with Brexit. It is more likely to be caused by bad Central banking, as last time, or by a crisis in some other major economy of the world knocking on to us. It could even come about if the Eurozone has a crash owing to the poor design of their currency. Out of the EU we will have a bit more flexibility to cushion the blows.'

according to tdd these could be going to 363

[redartbmud] 19/6/2016 10:37

How much is Brexit already factored into the market?

From previous history I will bet my bottom dollar that it will be impossible to trade shares, on the day of the result, before the prices have been adjusted further up or down.

Should I worry about HSBC when divi yields 8%.

[marko1961] 16/6/2016 08:55

Keep powder dry for now. Wait for the vote

[smith99] 16/6/2016 08:37

How safe is that juicy divi. That itself is offering some share price support.

[supermarky] 15/6/2016 14:40

Vote leave!!I'm long 410

[essentialinvestor] 15/6/2016 09:01

375, really?, well may be, in any case put this back on my watch list.

[proj] 14/6/2016 22:57

It's a gamble either way, Steve.

The FTSE jitters have started in earnest today (under 6000), and it will snowball until the referendum, plus a period beyond.

I think sub-400p is nailed on here....just a question of how 'sub' it goes.

I can see 375p quite comfortably.

May be beter to buy next week any opinions ta

[proj] 14/6/2016 13:25

Down she goes. Should accelerate downwards over the next week.

The big boys hate uncertainty.

Sorry for your pain, Phil.

[philo124] 12/6/2016 17:33

Like what?

[proj] 11/6/2016 18:43

Sub-£4 on Brexit fears.

Might then be worth a 15%-20% trade.

Then again, there are better options out there.

Bradesco wins approval for HSBC purchase.

[anley] 06/6/2016 10:09

That makes not a difference - goes in to the P/L account and is spent on general expenses.

What this bank needs to do is cut branches in the UK and get out of areas that are not profitable and so forth and in any case it may have to cut its dividend if it fails to do this.

I am a long term shareholder so I have a vested interest.

Hooley - I think you spoke too soon

[hooley] 03/6/2016 09:13

Momentum and relative strength looking good for 470p. Yield of 7.7% on last year's payout. Bought a few more.
