Wonder what opportunities lie ahead when we can negotiate with three times the trading partners when the EU removes it's stranglehold on us ?

Britain gives far more in overseas aid (add) - £12.2 billion this year -- than it contributes to our small EU trading partners.

Market was expecting a promise of more ECB stimulus.

No more was on offer.

[leedskier] 20/10/2016 14:12

U.S. stock-index futures slipped on concern that European Central Bank stimulus won’t jump-start growth in the region’s economy, while mixed earnings reports from American companies provided little direction.

The UK has prospered over the last 30 years.
Who knows how much of it was due to our partial EU membership.
the bast of both worlds, we still control our own currency.

Leeds for once we agree about the EU...its good for the small countries who have everything to gain from being part of it AND paid for by the big three!!!

European Central Bank is set to keep interest rates unchanged but may lay groundwork for more easing in December

UK retail sales in September were unchanged m/m.

The real beneficiaries of the EU are not the juggernauts but the small countries, who have as a result, NATO protection, a reasonable degree of prosperity and freedom of movement.

I was in France for most of September. Every French person I met said Britain had done the right thing voting out of eu, they want out also.

Absolute ... fantasy!

Morning leeds.

from your newsfeed.



* BREXIT: The Scottish government believes that contributing to the EU
budget might be a price worth paying for keeping Scotland in Europe's single
market if the broader British state leaves as part of its Brexit deal.



That made me smile :-)

leeds...the markets, the economies go round and round in circles .....prices rise/fall, inflation up/down, recession/growth.,.all have to come and go.

As for hitting share prices...well how much harder can RBS be hit!!!!!! Already smashed to bits

[leedskier] 19/10/2016 12:52

Yesterday all the chatter was about food prices and inflation with a significant rise predicted next year.

Today it is all about the probability of flat earnings next year.

House prices are said to be 10x average earnings. Far too expensive, reflecting cheap money and speculation.

A fall in house prices in combination with food price rises and flat earnings, will, inevitably, hit UK focused shares, including house-builders, banks, supermarkets, airlines and supermarkets.

Call it cyclical, call it a consequence of the fall in Sterling and fears of the unknown, it matters not. If it happens, it will impact on share prices.

[cfc1] 19/10/2016 12:43

careful...the only weakness the UK EVER showed was being too f@ing soft!!!!!

[careful] 19/10/2016 11:46

Remember the fundamentals of the art of war.
You must know when your enemy is superior and avoid confrontation.

The idea of the UK being tough with America or even China post Brexit is daft.
Notice how Theresa May reversed the Hinkley point decision as soon as China warned her about the consequences.

Britain must tread very carefully after this Brexit disaster, diplomacy and marketing must be perfect.
We must be aware of our weakness.

Leeds.....I mean the US seem to fine/punish do what they want whenever I just wonder if WE do the same to their companies?

Lets stop going on about Europe - no problem with Europe....I have a problem with the EU!!!! USA its not about falling out its about being tough/strong and not rolling over and playing dead!!!!
