For many British investors it would be nice to have something to take off the table.

Hurricane Irma maybe causing chaos off the Florida coast, but it is Hurricane Theresa who is causing it on this side of the Atlantic.

At least the effects of Irma will (hopefully) pass quickly. Not so with the storm she has whipped up with her draft immigration bill.

The real kick in the nuts is that the CAC40 is up 0.5% and the DAX 0.99%.

City spin some rubbish. Wonder if they will ever grow a set of adult balls. haha

[leedskier] 06/9/2017 15:06

According to the Telegraph the FTSE100 is weak todey because of North Korea jitters!

Given the S&P500 is rising notwithstanding North Korea and Hurricanes, does anyone believe the City spin?

This is going down beautifully.

For historical family reasons I follow the Pprune website blog and especially the Military Aviation section which includes many contributions from retired Royal Air Force pilots and navigators.

What is interesting in the context of the immigration debate, is how many of them have, on retirement, moved overseas to live. France is particularly popular.

From the Telegraph ...


Leaked documents show-skilled EU migrants will only be allowed to work in the UK for two years before being sent home under Brexit plans to curb migration after 2019.

How does that square with the NHS offering a contract worth £100 million to employment agencies to head hunt overseas doctors?

Are these doctors only to be appointed for two years?

It is not merely that the Tories have completely lost the plot but the lack of joined-up thinking.

If Britain wants skilled workers, whether doctors or scientists or computer programmers, it cannot dictate the terms and length of their employment.

Incidentally will this apply to footballers?

Bell Pottinger has confirmed that it is putting itself up for sale.
A spokesman said: "I can confirm that we have appointed [accountants] BDO to look at the options for the business moving forward."
The PR firm has seen a loss of clients since being expelled from the industry trade body for a campaign stirring racial divisions in South Africa.

The Bell Pottinger story is a shocking indictment of political manipulation of the South African presidential election and which makes the allegations aimed at Russia over the US presidential election pale into insignificance. That the PR company is Britain's largest PR firm, should come as no surprise. Corrupt practices in the UK are rife and largely go unpunished.

All the banks are just heading down at the moment.
I say at the moment, however, other than for RBS, it's been that way for months!

[leedskier] 06/9/2017 08:09

I do not spread bet, but those shorting the Index will be creaming it this week. Sadly ditto RBS too.

Hurricane Irma

[leedskier] 06/9/2017 06:34

Hurricane Irma strengthened into a dangerous Category 5 storm Tuesday as it roared toward the northeast Caribbean on a path that could take it to the United States.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Irma had sustained winds of 185mph, making it the most powerful storm ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean.

US futures are negative, which may explain the FTSE100 giving up much of the earlier gains.
