Good morning Portside, I see you're still trying to kill off the the UK.

Please explain why people want to come to the UK, when everything is so bad here and the workers are so hard done by?

THIS CAMPAIGN has told all voters that to vote in a general election is pointless because we can now see the labour libs cons are all the same .

brutus8 think you will find they are being very careful now.. as everyone is....

[astol] 11/6/2016 19:18

Thanks QANTAS :-)

[qantas] 11/6/2016 14:01

Good to seize the day didn't mean to upset you with the jelly fish, just no follow thru.

Reading between the lines.

You have in your mind what the result will be plus directions of the share and others may also just wanted you to be aware of the risks involved but you do know them not everyone does trading on CFD'S the losses may be great and also rewards may be high and turn very quick.
Not everyone is able to watch the markets all the time.

My share target on this one is 205 Head and shoulder formed.

[astol] 11/6/2016 13:29

QANTAS sounds like you are making aspersions I still don't understand 'what's the point being a 'Jelly Fish'???? I am simply trading short at the moment-no backbone in this stance??? and presumably no backbone in trading long either????Indeed there is a Risk and there is also potential reward-Speculate to accumulate is my motto and I have taken a view as above to-'Carpem Diem'

[qantas] 11/6/2016 12:44

Risk and reward a Jelly Fish doesn't have any backbone....

[astol] 11/6/2016 12:32

QANTAS-I am very familiar with what one can lose, the guy who burnt a crazy amount of money deifies any common sense.I trade on speculation/sentiment/market forces-somehow I don't think I'll be blowing everything away as have a guaranteed stop and know what I can afford-also no Mrs so even better-haha-what's a jelly fish got to do with it? more a shark in my book!!!
My position is bearish up till the referendum ie I don't want to take a gamble on the actual result-just taking a considered view on the current downward/bearish trend

[qantas] 11/6/2016 09:18

ASTOL what's the point being a jelly fish.

Only gamble with what you may afford to loos....
You may get burnt being short next week have you read this.
The high risks with spread betting.

In a sign that the markets believe a Brexit is increasingly likely, the FTSE-100 on Friday suffered its biggest one-day fall since the beginning of the referendum campaign, falling by 1.86 per cent.

And the pound also dropped sharply on Friday night as a poll gave Leave a 10-point lead, with 55 per cent of voters now backing a Brexit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More volatility to come and accelerate into next week-Eisler I think 150p might be the bottom but we could test 140p pre- referendum-I have gon short on this basis but plan to close pre- results 23 June.

[runwaypaul] 11/6/2016 07:45

like many hoping for total carnage on a brexit vote and @90/110p.never now might get it.

[eisler] 10/6/2016 21:05

Happy to sit on sidelines for 150 by end of next week - brexit priced in by then

[terminated] 10/6/2016 18:34

I don't necessarily think interests would go sky high just because we leave the EU although to be fair high inflation is about to come to most of Europe anyhow. Every time Years of quantative easing are initiated there follows years of high inflation, this can't be avoided it's an economic reality, you can't have one without the other. However, short term the reason housing is so high is that people know that supply will never meet demand due to high levels of immigration. Brexit would supposedly make this drop and so a general concern about future demand will obviously affect prices. The south is already at the top of a bubble and the only thing fuelling it is that immigration is outstripping supply for housing and people project this happening for the foreseeable future.

There are many risks to leaving but there are also many risks to staying in. It is interesting to hear the many points of view.

[portside1] 10/6/2016 16:54

a man who I respect JOHN MANN has joined the out vote this man is no mug
very respected and no fool unlike Cameron the liar

[clond] 10/6/2016 15:49

plus the yanks will end no where near where they started again !

[pennstreet] 10/6/2016 15:41

Regardless of Brexit, the market has been running on borrowed time for a while. Market valuations make no sense whatsoever - be prepared for a correction !

[topicel] 10/6/2016 15:35

Well done with 184p Clond. I hesitated over 183p at the start of the week considering the Brexit worry wouldn't fully rear its ugly head until next week and so missed a few grand. He who hesitates and all that, a hard lesson.

Anyway, the mood is not likely to change to the upside for more than a brief respite until the vote IMHO. Yellen and the FOMC aside next week, with perhaps some nice forward guidance for July rate hike, otherwise, hold on to your hats on the roller coaster ride south would seem logical for the financial sector.

Where is the entry point? Probably around 160p which was the lower end of the previous 160-180p range I suggested we'd break out from at the end of May. The churn is pretty certain and if other bad data comes out then lower is possible, but realistically who would buy long here - or anywhere - until the 24th?

It is a known event with plenty of downside forecast so most with sense will park their money as they are doing now and await the day. If we leave, I'd stay on the sidelines longer, if we remain it won't matter what the price I'd be buying. Of course the opening rise will be missed by us PIs but perhaps a canny order a couple of pence above the closing price on the 23rd could mitigate some of that lost opportunity? Unless you have a very good broker that is... ;)

Anyhow, that's how I see it this weekend. Oh, and if Engerland do well that allied to a remain vote is always good for shares and the economy I believe. Equally they might be knocked out by then as I've heard we rarely get out of the group stage at the Euros. Ironic the tournament coincided with us wanting nowt to do with them, eh?!

I am not sure that so much cash as reported has exited the UK recently as the forex markets look too stable. Next week may be interesting though?
