No point being afraid if it’s ten years away though!

Wow, Ladeside you must be really, really old.

Reading this board and the views of the majority coupled with the general feeling across Europe and the macro financial climate, I can see HUGE similarities to the 1930's.

Nobody saw it coming at the time back then and it's pretty similar now.

Be afraid, be very afraid..........

More stupidity from WBecki.

The post of the day so far is #040.


The physical location of start-ups is generally not important. The ideas are bought and most often are very portable. How many ideas (start-ups) actually stay in the place of discovery?

Would you prefer that the start ups go somewhere else?

It is the age of deleveraging folks.

If bond yields are negative and low, and there is an over supply of capital, it tends to suggest a market crash is unlikely and if it happened it would be short-lived.

However Trump, mini-Trump and Brexit morons are trying their best to create one!

LOL

[poikka] 21/8/2019 09:59

Here's a thought.

The backstop is undeniably undemocratic. I mean what government other than a dictatorship would prescribe cutting another sovereign country in two?

The EU could easily come to a trading agreement with the UK, after all we're more or less on the same page already, unlike other countries that they're obscenely rapidly cobbling some sort of agreement with.

It's therefore in the EU camp to stop hindering us.

If it's true that there could be food shortages, as shouted out in the media, although I think it doesn't add up, it would be EU intransigence that KNOWINGLY could lead to that situation.

Therefore, the EU would knowingly be hoping to starve the UK into submission.

The work of the worst kind of extreme dictatorship.

Hi-tech startups are inherently risky and in the early stages don’t have correlation with economies. Therefore Brexit is a low risk against all risks investing in this sector. The cheap £ internationally and the desire to avoid other investments will encourage investment here.

If you think news like that endorses that Brexit is believed to be a good thing by these investors then you are deluded.

[poikka] 21/8/2019 09:52

I agree Trev and Rubi, but just cutting interest rates isn't the answer. Trouble is that politicos won't face up to the issues, preferring to kick the can down the road for their successors.

The US has a particular issue with China.

The EU has a particular issue with the Euro - and over-regulation.

[123trev] 21/8/2019 09:41

The problem is everybody and his dog has been expecting this crash for long enough now and it hasn’t actually happened far from it. When it does arrive I agree it will be catastrophic but is it going to be this year,next year or in ten years! Every country in the world is in trouble when it does come so the emphasis is on keeping the plates spinning for as long as possible low interest rates extra massive QE and just printing more money etc could go on longer than any of us could imagine because the alternatives are far worse.

Brexiteer weapons of mass destruction






Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott (pictured on BBC Radio 4's Today programme) said today she will be 'personally campaigning for Remain' regardless of whether Labour commits to staying in the EU or not



Ms Thornberry, shadow foreign secretary, (pictured) has said Labour would be 'off our bloody rockers' not to back Remain

Poikka,

Low interest rates means everyone has been forced along the yield curve, and into riskier assets.

When the collapse comes it is going to be a sight for sore eyes.

Thought 2008 was bad.
The incoming recession will make it look a picnic.

[poikka] 21/8/2019 08:51

This interest rate question that JR refers to and which is bothering Trumpy, bothers me, too, but differently maybe.

How, if at all, have EU countries benefited from zero rates? Are folk spending like crazy to boost their economies? No sign of it. And what harm has it done and doing? Guess most know the answer.

So what is wrong with the EU project that it needs such boosts, that aren't working?

I'm not including Trumpy now because his is a special short term case.

Foreign investors pile record £5.5bn into British tech start-ups


Simon Duke, Technology Business Editor

The Times




British technology start-ups are enjoying an unprecedented investment boom, shrugging off concerns over a no-deal Brexit.

High-tech companies have received a record $6.7 billion (£5.5 billion) in new funding this year, 50 per cent more than the same period last year. They are on course to secure more than $11 billion by the end of the year, easily eclipsing last year’s total of $8.7 billion, according to official figures. The data, from the government’s digital economy council, suggests that Britain remains the most attractive country in Europe for overseas tech investors.
