The truth about migrant boats from France... 30 minutes ago.

Lads, with the prospect of a no deal brexit increasing and multinationals being forced to cut jobs due to C-19, UK is top of the list for these job cuts.

C-19 is giving international first both the excuse and opportunity to bail out of the UK.

Lads, you are on a sinking ship!

Popcorn anyone?

mm2 - where did I say that is was?

The question to ask is who is the less weak amongst the feeble? Maybe China and US in the Western World?

UK about to become a 3rd world country.

Alp :

Swiss Watch sales have plunged amid the crisis.


Rolex Closes Swiss Factories Amid Coronavirus Pandemic.


Swiss manufacturing PMI sinks to lowest level since 2009 on coronavirus fears.


Swiss companies have started issuing profit warnings.


Swiss unemployment rate rises fastest this century.

I've been think for a long time that coming out with no deal is the aim. No deal no £39m. Reading today 49% of Italians want out of the EU. Spain and Greece are of the same mind, in particular Greece who have had no help with the refugee influx and no financial help, the EU (Germany) have refused to help. Many EU states now see with the covid19 it's good to have control of your own borders in more ways than one.
For sure we need to be out by year end before demands come to bail out Europe who will its said from all quarter be in a much darker place than us and will take longer to recover because of the bureaucracy of Brussels/EU.

Factories shut due to bugs.

Who's ordering?

[alphorn] 21/5/2020 11:13

diku - No!

Very few equity positions and 'all in' on forex.

This news just out - "Factory Orders in the United Kingdom decreased 62 percent in May of 2020 over the previous month". A direct quote but have difficulty in believing it - even for an ultra bear. Typo somewhere?

No wonder this country is going 'further' down the pan. We are being taken over by stupid bimbo's, thick council house scumbags, grabbing foreigners and asylum seekers."

And that's only counting people IN this Government!!

Alp...I thought you were long on domestics?...

[diku] 21/5/2020 11:04

Doubt of negative interest rates...could be just tough posturing talk on options available...as a last resort...

[alphorn] 21/5/2020 11:00

gnr - it was a straight question - you opened original positions at 1.36 and today is 1.11. What would you do? Take the gains because you believe that No Deal will be a success or still hold? Real positions; the only way to focus beliefs.

No Brexit trade deal odds shortening.

..................................................................................

Bring it on. I think we need to be completely clear of European influence so that we can take whatever action is needed to stimulate our economy without the EEC moaning that we are acting unfairly and violating their bureaucratic rules.

As a sovereign nation we have the ability to borrow money internationally and to print it ourselves if necessary. Not ideal I know, but the USA is printing money like there is no tomorrow.

There is no good way out of this crisis as far as I can see. However, long-term I would rather we stand on our own two feet and act in our own interests

[gaffer73] 21/5/2020 10:50

It would be worth the drop to 15p to come out of the EU with no deal.

CPI was 0.8 yesterday (Apr figure). Down from 1.5% (Mar fig). Quite a fall!
