Do you know of any poor Politican?...

[tenapen] 14/10/2018 09:38

I agree that has been so in the past. Corbyn and this labour party will change it all. They do not care what the right leaning papers say and after this brexit shambles no-one is going to look back at the years of Tory rule with rose tinted glasses. Its been a disaster for the many, while the asset rich have become ......

Someone somewhere sits down and does all this figure workings to reflect how the everyday people have lost on their savings...but does anything ever change?...that is the problem...opposition party says they will do this that and the other...but once in power normal service resumes!!...

[tenapen] 14/10/2018 09:25

No shock to read in yesterdays, The Times news paper, that the policies taken by the Bank of England and the Tory party have distroyed the saving of the middle classes. Fidelity International have worked out that if you had £10,000 in the bank in 2008 it would now be worth only £7,636 . Along with the fact that the working classes are no better off than 13 (thirteen) years ago makes for a truly shocking picture of what the BoE and Tory party think of everyday people.

Vote; for the many, Not the few.

Porty
When you go to Dublin you do not cross a border, there is free movement between the North and South of Ireland. Infrequent spot checks may be made on suspect vehicles or security warnings. When we talk of the Irish border we are talking about goods and services. I was waiting to see what your response would be, re Ken's question, about how you would solve the border problem.

Barclays boss Staley says cards are a bigger risk to bank than Brexit. Is he right? | The Independent

The FTSE 100 has experienced a bull market that has lasted for almost 10 years. This makes it one of the longest bull markets in recent decades, and suggests that a bear market may not be far away. After all, the index has never risen in perpetuity, and this time will be no different.

The challenge facing investors, though, is deciding when it is time to become more risk-averse. Furthermore, contemplating which assets to buy could also be a difficult decision – especially when the outlook for the world economy continues to be relatively positive.

Bright future?

Of course, it could be argued that a great stock market crash is not imminent. The world economy is growing at around 4% per annum at the present time, with the US and China delivering stronger growth than many investors were anticipating. Even with the risks surrounding Brexit being taken into account, the UK is due to grow by 1.5% in 2018, while the Eurozone’s growth rate is due to be over 2% next year.

None of these figures suggest that a recession or a bear market are around the corner. Then again, many bear markets have proved to be obvious only after the event. For example, looking back on the dotcom crash makes many people wonder how investors were willing to pay such high valuations for what were essentially ideas of businesses which in many cases had no profit, and even no revenue. At the time, though, the internet was seen as a revolution, with businesses that could capitalise on its growth potential having the capacity to generate exceptional earnings.

Looking ahead, the risk of a full-scale trade war is clear. Tariffs have already been put in place by the US and China, as well as a number of other countries. Therefore, if a bear market results from this, investors may look back in years to come and state that it was rather obvious.

Defensive shares

While it is difficult to predict when a stock market crash will occur, one potential solution could be to focus on company valuations. At the present time, a number of cyclical shares are highly-valued, with investors having a positive outlook on the world economy. In contrast, many defensive shares appear to have wide margins of safety at the present time. This suggests that there could be an opportunity to take profit on cyclicals and switch into defensives that are offering the potential for reduced downside risk over the medium term.

Of course, some investors may wish to move out of shares altogether. But with interest rates set to rise, bonds and property may lack relative appeal. Therefore, shares which offer strong balance sheets, resilient earnings and low valuations could prove to be the best long-term opportunity at the present time. Clearly, predicting when a bear market will occur is challenging, and timing the market may not always be possible. But by focusing on company fundamentals, it may be possible to outperform the FTSE 100 over the long run.

allow the DUP to have a north vote , to see if they want a border or want to stay in the uk . that will solve the issue

[kenbachelor] 13/10/2018 13:01

I believe in democracy Portside, what I don't believe is that you can tell me how you would overcome the Irish border problem.

It's the weekend and there's nothing to say about Barclays, so please explain in detail what how you would deal it.

[portside1] 13/10/2018 13:00

IF YOU VOTE VOTE FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN THE 3 MAIN PARTIES

[kenbachelor] 13/10/2018 12:34

If we don't vote for anyone, then we won't have a government and we can put Portside in charge. He'd soon sort it!

[portside1] 13/10/2018 12:28

UK state pensions ranked the worst in the developed world

Since the study began the UK has consistently ranked low on the list, ranking below Chile and Mexico last year, however it has never come last before.
