IMO one should consider todays market actions in many weaker performing stocks V the 100 point drop we have seen in the FTSE 100 following a circa 250 point drop in the US DJIA late yesterday.


Consider then


What kind of falls in such stocks can be expected if the DJIA sheds over 500 points in a couple of days

Followed by another 750 points in the following week

Then 1000 points in the week after that ?


RISK management it's called

OIL dropping lower now can do this IMO

THE CENTER FOR AMERICAN GREATNESS


No, Tariffs Won’t Ruin Christmas

By Spencer P. Morrison

The media also pretends to care about American workers, and yet they support the offshoring of millions of good-paying, middle-class American jobs to China. Say what you will about tariffs, but there is no debate that tariffs boost demand for American labor—this is the part of the economic argument for opposing them in the first place.

What about the social consequences of the economic dislocation caused by offshoring? It’s a fairly obvious fact that unemployed people vote for socialism—this is why the formerly red Republican Rustbelt turned blue. Could this be the real reason the media supports free trade? I wouldn’t doubt it.

I can think of no good reason why anyone would actually want to buy anything from China. They only do so because they have few, if any, other options. By invoking tariffs to level the economic playing field President Trump is carving out a space for American industry—he is giving us options.

Now it’s up to us: buy American.

Pvee, re your response in post 131822. I have no more idea than you what the situation will be after we leave the EU. I am however much more optimistic about this country and it’s future than you appear to be. Trade is between business and consumer not governments, so other than price I see no difference on 1st November than 31st October. Most of the key cards lie with the UK in a No Deal and we are far better situated to overcome initial problems than the EU. Using your Nissan example as an example of Brexit damage, how do you explain their decision to close their only EU factory in Spain?

The only reason for a No Deal is EU intransigence in accepting we are leaving. They want to make an example of us to prevent others realising the failure of the EU exercise and doing the same. It’s stupid. We want to buy EU goods, their consumers want to buy UK goods and EU manufacturers want to supply goods to UK consumers. At last we have a PM and government who won’t buckle and will leave with No Deal if pushed to do so. That’s crazy and hopefully Governments will see that and overrule Brussels. Out of all the states, Ireland stands to suffer most and the Irish people know that and will eventually turn on Varadkar. Using the border issue has been nothing but a smokescreen. There can never be 100% stability of the border, it crosses towns, streets, farms and areas which can’t possibly be policed so on that basis no system can ever suffice to release the UK from the backstop. Lunacy as is so much of the EU argument. We are coming out by 31st October and they need to accept it, as do Remainers here.

The cost to protect against a Communist China debt default just spiked the most in 6 years

Communist Chinese credit-default swaps jumped the most in more than six years Monday after the yuan slid to a low against the US dollar.

Credit-default swaps increasing in price mean that investors are worried that Communist China won't be able to repay its debt and are trying to insure against losses.

China's Yuan Falls Past Key Level of 7 to the Dollar

China's currency Monday fell past the psychologically important level of 7 yuan to the dollar, days after President Trump threatened to broaden U.S. tariffs to cover essentially all Chinese imports.

The depreciation is likely to exacerbate the U.S.-China trade dispute. President Trump and many other U.S. officials have long accused China of weakening the yuan to make its exports cheaper and gain an unfair advantage in trade.

Group of 45 US senators promise Boris Johnson they will back a trade deal with Britain even if the UK leaves the EU without a deal


The Republican lawmakers threw their support behind the new Prime Minister and offered him and the 'lion-hearted' British people their 'unwavering support' as the country prepares to leave the European Union.
