Thanks pf, is this the one you refer to?





A quick look found this:





I think these polls can be influenced by who/ how you ask the question, not to mention where, ie, the results can be finessed to suit the result you are looking for.


The big poll result (referendum) brought a result that was unexpected, certainly by the movers and shakers, not to mention our €urohuggers.

Lets get on with it!

maxk,

FYI, Anthony Wells has blogged this afternoon on a couple of polls, including the ICM in the Guardian. You can see his sensible, no-BS approach, which is SOP for him.

You are right polar, it did close above 300p on the 12/1 non event today oh well.

[smurfy2001] 26/1/2018 17:38

Lol 😂

Looking at the chart it’s been what 1 yr plus since it’s closed above 300p? 🤔

Currently on my iPhone so can’t post said chart

Just trying to make sure that the thread isn't mislead by your amateurish approach.

[smurfy2001] 26/1/2018 17:26

polar fox, bad day today? Hence why l wrote 300p+

[leedskier] 26/1/2018 17:12

A triple top?

[polar fox] 26/1/2018 17:03

You need to get your facts straight - the share price closed at 302.40 on 12/1 and 300.10 on 15/1. There's nothing special yet about today's close.

[smurfy2001] 26/1/2018 16:31

The CEO can celebrate with an Irn Bru this weekend. 300p+ achieved.

[smurfy2001] 26/1/2018 16:08

Struggling now :(

Here's a professional GDP analysis from the economists at Bloomberg:

The 2.6 percent headline rate doesn't do justice to fourth-quarter GDP where consumer spending rose a very strong 3.8 percent that reflects a 14.2 percent burst in durable spending. Residential investment, which is another consumer-related component, rose at a very impressive 11.6 percent annualized rate. Turning to business spending, nonresidential fixed investment rose at a 6.8 percent rate which is the fourth straight mid-single digit result. Government purchases, at a 3.0 percent rate, also added to GDP in the quarter.

What pulled down fourth-quarter GDP were net exports, at an annualized deficit of $652.6 billion, and inventories which rose at a slower rate than the third quarter. Looking at final sales to domestic buyers, which excludes inventories and exports, GDP comes in at a robust 4.3 percent.

Prices also showed life in the quarter, with the index at 2.4 percent vs the third quarter's 2.1 percent. This is a standout report led by the consumer that shows the economy accelerated into year-end 2017 with strong momentum going into 2018.

The US markets have ignored the weak GDP because it is reported it was caused by surging imports to meet high US demand. The US Indices are very upbeat at pixel time.

srpactive....yep - its called the gov't and civil service!!

I think the problem is, to many people are employed
to create and regulate these regulations.

Edit
Not just them the governing bodies of all industries, like
corgi, niceic and the nla to mention a few, claiming to be
charities whilst paying massive salaries to some.

Annualized change in the inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services produced by the economy;

also known as the US Advance GDP q/q but annualised


Was a shocker. Consensus 3%, actual 2.6&.

[leedskier] 26/1/2018 13:29

Almost Churchillian.

[smurfy2001] 26/1/2018 13:06

Have we finally broken 300p?

I'll wait till the end of the day cigar ready.

[leedskier] 26/1/2018 12:59

I imagine The Donald had been warned ahead of yesterday's meeting that Theresa was not the sort of gal who appreciated a warm hand on her derrière.
