Not mine either which is why our family funds are mostly cash with some gold interests and a smattering of what I call specials. We've pretty much agreed that something has got to give. It is well worth looking back at how markets in America behaved in the years following 1929. Now I'm not claiming that things will replicate that but something fairly similar can't and shouldn't be discounted.

And should be so in love with hypocrisy - then you should pop across to the arena where Depardieu and others left. wonder why?

Did you see Boris yesterday?

The guy is insane.

[porsche1945] 02/9/2020 18:25

Id much rather the EU ran the country that Dominic Scummings and wheezing Fat Useless Boris. Uk needs to stop having stupid referendums, no sensible countries have them, people are by and large, thick and self harming, especially in the uk. Just look at the brexit posts on here haha. UK now pointless for investing, terminal.

Encourage the bureaucrats to apply for €U positions by giving them P45's to help them on their way.

Well done. Not my game, I'm afraid. I'd be the one without a chair when the music stops. :)

All civil servants are obviously going to be behind another layer of bureaucracy that being part of Europe provides because it's going to deliver additional career opportunities. I bet there are hundreds of EU jobs opportunities advertised internally within the civil service. These people will do anything to thwart Brexit and need a good talking to.

Min., I agree with you that these tech valuations are crazy. I sold some ZM yesterday - having jumped from 300 to 450 in two days. Bought back in March/April at 130. Madness.

Boy, it's one big crash waiting to happen.

Minerve2. With Apple's Mkt Cap at more than the FTSE 100, I think you may well be right. How long can the Fed keep juicing.

US markets are a headbake.

lef - given you an uptick. Let's get the numbers up! Lol

"Don't you mean price to regulatory credits ratio?"

LOL

Great posts Graham and Lefrene.

:)

[minerve 2] 02/9/2020 16:17

Tesla’s price-to-earnings ratio is about 1,200.

ROFLMAO!

You can't be a vassal state to yourself!

DUH!

Not4EU, London , Thursday, August 27, 2020, 07:25:Another interesting factoid is that there are now more hospitals than covid patients. Less than one patient per hospital.There is, apparently, an asteroid due in November which has a 0.41% chance of entering the atmosphere. So there is more chance of this asteroid entering the atmosphere than the 0.04% chance of dying from batflu. Children are statistically more likely to die in a road accident than this bug.Yet the insanity remains & NO MP is calling it out for what it is, nor the baseless science on which our freedoms have been removed.Remember. This was 'sold' as "Just for 3 weeks to flatten the curve & prevent RNHS from being overwhelmed". In March.Now, ever more draconian measures are being installed despite evidence to the contrary. 'Cases' are now the the new 'rationale', but if 'cases' are rising (an inevitability with increased 'testing') but hospitalisations & deaths are not increasing, what does that tell you?As for 'testing', the inventor of the test has said that it should not be used as a diagnostic tool. What exactly is it testing for? Not covid19, but the generic term 'Coronavirus' which encompasses many colds & flus. Covid19 has not yet been isolated per Koch's Postulates, the standard for identification of novel viruses. I won't go into vaccines.The Diamond Princess was a perfect model for outcomes, yet the actual evidence is being ignored.The fact that this insanity is replicated worldwide should tell you that Govts & MPs appear to be complicit in intentionally deceiving the people & depriving them of liberty.

Alp, I return the 'compliment', I'm not "anti Alphorn", I believe in free speech, even if I do suspect the motives of the speaker.

Plainly you are of the view that the UK is better off being a vassal state of an entity that exploits it ruthlessly, and milks it to further it's own ambitions. While I'm all for the world being a better place, the Brussels crew after 70+ years are making a much worse job of it by clever design, than GB did by muddling through. All empires collapse because they go rotten at the centre, those that built the empire get displaced by entitled apparatchiks, who are only interested in maintaining their privileges. My guess is before too long historians will be looking back at the EU experiment and wondering why it all went so wrong? The ordinary people of course could tell them, but no one ever listens to the ordinary people, all that 'populism' you know, shouldn't be allowed! :¬)

Trikytree, enjoyed our day in Donny. Not many about. Yorkshire folk keeping their brass in their pockets. A lot of buildings being torn down and still a good few places closed. I reckon they must have a building program in place there.
