Savogi, expect the unexpected. QE2 and further pumping of the market.

Oh dear oh dear... I hate to say "we told you so"... We have seen nothing yet..We are dealing here with a financial bureaucracy that has lost touch with the complexity of economic reality but that has now dug itself such a deep hole that any self-motivated turn-around can safely be ruled out.

This genius schemes which Fed and banks trying to hide their losses and the huge toxic debt from the public is the reason the system is busy collapsing under the weight of its own debt.. The truth is that we are in far worse shape than we were in 2008.So when the bubble finally bursts,it will be absolutely catastrophic

Banks will be protected by governments because they are the foundations of business, which in turn is the catalyst for wealth generation. Long term banks will do fine but their ability to generate wealth goes hand in hand with the nations economy. For any economy to do well they need to increase wealth. The majority of tax comes from wages (income tax, VAT, and payroll tax), corporations only contribute about 12% to the overall income, income and excise levies contribute about 10%. That means approximately 78% of a country wealth comes from wages and hence depends on them increasing.

For me one of the key reasons Europe is still in a depression after 7 odd years is because of wage depreciation. When wages start to rise people have more expendable income to propel the economy forward, and usually this would have naturally happened by now. However, Europe is currently swamped with cheap labour due to the free movement policy, and the EU will ignorantly continue to add poor (by western standards) countries ensuring wages will never increase sufficiently for the next 10 years, which in turn ensures we cannot pay our debt due to a lack of increased tax revenue, which relises on wages increasing. Peoples expendable income cannot increase to the point they can afford luxuries or go out on the town and enjoy a night out, increasing income for bars restaurants, who would have naturally needed to increase wages for its staff as hiring became more difficult (not now with open door immigration).

The EU has trapped the west in a depression that will continue until basic wage levels are able to rise sufficiently to service the huge amount of debt the countries have accumulated. And no country can possibly do this until wages begin to rise, which can never happen in a area flooded with cheap labour. People often see companies as wealth generators and this is only partially true because without them there would be no jobs, but the wealth and well being of a nation relies on wages increasing. At the moment business is benefiting from cheap labour but the nation cannot benefit until wages can bring in more tax and expendable income.

This is the reason the EU should have halted the open door immigrating policy, but they will never do it because they are idealists focused on social integration rather than balancing an economy. Any nation within it will not see any dramatic increase in revenue until the poor nations catch up with the other members making immigration unattractive to them. That could be 20 years away. This is the reason it has a lower growth rate than Antarctica. Anyone screaming to stay in the EU with its open door immigration policy must also consign themselves to low growth and the inability to pay of the national debt we have accumulated. I was 51% for staying in the EU but having research it more fully I think we may have made the right decision. As for the banks they will grow at a similar rate to the economies, so there will be no dramatic climbs. All IMO of course.

Perhaps we should have a breakdown of how many immigrants are being treated by the NHS.

The economy has been run on mass immigration creating demand - can't go on forever.

Invoke Article 50 of The Lisbon Treaty immediately.

There are plenty of perfectly legal non-EU immigrants who are keeping our health service going. Without them the UK does not have sufficient trained nurses and doctors available. This is only one area where we need CONTROLLED immigration

[alphorn] 06/7/2016 10:33

informant - I am talking about non-EU immigrants because no action has ever been taken over them; although it could have been. So why do you think magically something will change? If it is all about too many immigrants then it should be about ALL immigrants. These are people already in UK.

The arguments are inconsistent.

[informant100] 06/7/2016 10:24

Alphorn

Why are you talking about non-EU people. Brexit is about EU people. Non-EU if illegal they will get deported.

One thing I'm worried about. If we cannot negotiate a deal will France regarding Calies. We will have lots of non-EU people in a camp in Dover

what is the impact on BARC if there is negative interest rate?

Negative interest rates? it is heading in that direction,
we will probably pay the banks interest to keep our money.

Cameron was a good PM but he is only one vote against 27 others in the EU....

[chiragmahe] 06/7/2016 09:53

what is the impact on BARC if there is negative interest rate?

Will the share price go up?

thanks

[alphorn] 06/7/2016 09:49

informant - what about the non-EU people? Why suddenly the UK will apply rules that are already in place? You fool yourself - unfortunately.
