Get ready for a blue un folks.....Today we move.

[essentialinvestor] 14/5/2016 09:36

Mentioned this previously, the current odds heavily favour a Remain result-
however I backed the Conservatives at 7/1 for an overall majority
before he last GE and also had Corbyn as Labour leader
so aware the betting consensus can be incorrect.

In a two horse race to stay in is 1/3 and to exit just over 2/1 anyone who knows betting knows that us a huge difference.

[chesty1] 13/5/2016 18:09

Well at least we finished the week blue.Any Chartists out there, 1 month chart is that possibly a double bottom or just wishful thinking.Be lucky to all and have a great weekend.

Go Go Horsey !

[chesty1] 13/5/2016 13:40

Bye bye red.....

[chesty1] 13/5/2016 13:23

My average is £3.28p and no worries longer term. No more funds to add though. Loaded.

[essentialinvestor] 13/5/2016 12:27

That is better than my average today, think we may be looking at sub £3 before June.
Would not tend to be a hero here and go all in at once unless you are
extremely sure, could pay to add in stages, reserve the right to be wrong on that )

[chinese investor] 13/5/2016 12:05

I got mine for 3.108p.

[essentialinvestor] 13/5/2016 11:20

nick, you can get up to 5/2 on leave, the best price I can see for stay
is 4/11 - from oddschecker.

2/1 odds for Brexit now commonly available.Lagarde may be harming the case more than help it. Most of the voting population do not see the obvious connections with a financial markets crash and their usual day to day.To many, it is a short term, necessary move so as to satisfy the common objectives.Why are the odds shortening?

[essentialinvestor] 13/5/2016 10:16

If the U35 vote does not turn out in the numbers expected we are out imv,
younger age groups tend to be remain voters.

If you are a cynic you might expect a market plunge pre vote to scare the
absolute sh1t out of some older voters helping the Remain vote.

When people begin to see the value of their investments significantly lower .. etc.

3.1048 was the lowest price I got this morning, made 4 small buys,
looking to add lower.

Great Dividend !
The Only Cloud Is The Euro Referendum !

I've Topped Up !

[philo124] 13/5/2016 10:12

Good odds. Will be close.

[essentialinvestor] 13/5/2016 09:41

nick, your guess is a good as mine.

We could be on the cusp of a major market sell off here,
the referendum has impacted SL. but there are much wider concerns for
markets such as some of the US retailer updates this week which have been dire,
renewed China weakness chatter, always something.

[nicksoj] 13/5/2016 09:37

Essential More than a month away. Odds are commonly 9/4 Brexit this am.Is today the turning point??

[essentialinvestor] 13/5/2016 09:29

Will be very glad when this vote is finally over.

[chinese investor] 13/5/2016 09:19

I've Topped Up !

[petewy] 13/5/2016 08:56

I'm in at these levels which I feel won't ,ove til winter.

[chesty1] 13/5/2016 08:41

Market will pick these up all day long around £3.10p cannot believe it has got this low, it will bounce. Imagine buying these a year ago, ouch. I hope I am not saying the same this time next year but feel these will come good.

[its the oxman] 13/5/2016 08:40

Real bargain time - I hope, when we look back at year end.

[essentialinvestor] 13/5/2016 08:40

chesty, I'm sure you known what you are doing but don't discount possibly
significantly lower levels here in the run up to June.
If your view on SL. is to hold longer term then it may be easier to live
with potential downside over the short/medium term.

[chesty1] 13/5/2016 08:12

Another 2.5k £3.12. Got quite a few of these now.

[nicksoj] 12/5/2016 22:59

Brexit odds seem to have shortened today. ImoAlmost 2/1New polls?Is this going to go to the wire?

[essentialinvestor] 12/5/2016 20:33

Moodys warning today that LGEN and SL. are among insurers most likely
to be hit on any post BREXIT volatility and their solvency ratios may suffer.


That is called stating the bloody obvious and being highly paid for doing so )
