JerryPosted January 14, 2020 at 9:27 am | Permalink"The USA is still growing considerably faster thanks to big tax cuts, a fiscal stimulus and active encouragement of growth and sensible lending by the Fed,"I do wonder why this might be, obviously tax cuts and sensible lending plays a part but perhaps the biggest stimulus and active encouragement for growth has been Trump's MAGA doctrine, with people in the USA not only wanting to buy products 'Made in the USA' but often willing to pay more for those products, resulting in a rebirth of manufacturing via "on-shoring".The UK, perhaps, needs a post Brexit system that allows the customer to know exactly were their intended purchase was made. No one can me made to 'Buy British' but at least people would be able to make an informed choice. I note some retail websites in the USA are indicating when the product has been imported

mitchy : Like your last sentence ...ain't that the truth! You're right about 'itchy fingers' too. I find it far better to research , take a view , set limits and walk away. The only exception being forecast-able events likely to move the share price ...like the off on 13.12 when my finger was most definitely hovering! 2019 Finals , on 20/02/20 is some way away .Plenty of time for the MMs to march the share price down even further ..to generate 'a bounce' back into the sixties.

Well done that man. My timing sucks as usual . I think I only got 67+ ..then back in to soon at 64+.I'm ok with my second bullet at 59.7p but once again my timing was off. Itchy trigger finger I knew I should have waited but then again if Santander hadn't reported struggling mortgage market it could well have bounced yesterday.Sterling under pressure today. There's always something.

Ian Blackford on politics live. Basing assumptions on people attending pro indyref marches. Same mistake as the remainer losers marching in London. Will they never learn.

mitchy : After yesterday's further fall , another 2.6 % , it's hard to believe I sold out at 68.67p at the off on 13/12/19. Today's 'recovery' tells us both all we need to know for the time being. Have left my limit buy in place at 57p ..for the time being.

Keep on Nicola. Great politician.

[minerve 2] 14/1/2020 12:20

Man City sorted you out the other day. Great to watch.

"but then Man utd is a really big club"

Erm, hello? Not any more. You are even second in Manchester.

[m5] 14/1/2020 12:17

If they don't win it from here I will laugh for the rest of my days. One thing is for sure we will be back and it won't take anywhere near as long as its taken Liverpool, but then Man utd is a really big club, so not really fair to compare the two, :-)

You might win, it is just a single game, of course for Man U the match this weekend is their new CL final. LOL

We have greater fish to fry than a mid-table Premiership side struggling to come to terms with their new position in life. :)

Min, ironically, the half a million English living in Scotland control the outcome of an in/out referendum. Muh ha ha ha !

[m5] 14/1/2020 12:08

Its not great Min, but then we have to let smaller clubs like Liverpool have a go now and again. I mean its been a long long time since they won the league. Anyway I have had a punt that we are going to turn you over at the weekend and with a following wind and if my mate comes through I will be there to see it.

Score 2-1
