Sometimes referred to as Sir Bob, as a citizen of the ROI that is
incorrect, he can use the letters KBE- completely useless fact there.

The sight of Farage riled by Geldof is deffo a reason to be cheerful.Roll on 24th...

Markets are searching for bargains and looking a little perkier...

Doom doom doom. Market has pencilled in brexit...if and when we stay bbbbboooooommmmmmm

[nicksoj] 15/6/2016 08:17

Dr. I agree. Just reading the Brexit bloggers - on the guardian no less! Appalling.I don't blame the bookies for hedging but fx is still at a decent level.

I sold 60% about 3 months ago. Brexit gone from 9/2 to 6/4 with the bookies.

Chesty, if it helps I was 10K plus down on RDSB at one point,
did nicely in the end, same with BP but that was a much smaller position.
If you believe the Company is fundamentally sound and has longer term
prospects, then perhaps look away for a few days, much easier said than done
admittedly.

Would expect wild market whipsaws with a trend lower over the next few days,
but I don't buy an end of world market plunge on a Leave vote, it will
be largely factored in pre poll result, all just IMV only, reserve the right to be wrong!.

5500-5650 is the level I'm looking for on a Leave.

[chesty1] 14/6/2016 17:17

Well I must admit this drop is hurting, imho the market is pricing in brexit so if it does happen I don't think we will see a big drop but if we stay then it's game on.I think we will stay in and it's not over yet.I think it's scaremongering and games being played and not a fun one.Be lucky to all

On a Leave plunge I would add to UK exposure, and sell down some more US.
Some very interesting longer term opportunities in the UKX lower down,
most are large multi nationals, with the UK just one market of many.

When buyers vanish it can be quite stomach churning how low things go EI.

Lets face it, who in their right mind want to be holding anything UK listed post a brexit.

It could take months for the fall out to clear and during those times there wont be any sensible buyers with a brain cell left.

[essentialinvestor] 14/6/2016 16:06

I thought worst way 270's, but that may be wide of the mark.
My smallest holding but will continue to add in just small amounts.
Everything is getting rapidly cheaper atm.

[my retirement fund] 14/6/2016 16:02

This could easily see £2.50 on 23rd imo and <£2 if its bexit

[essentialinvestor] 14/6/2016 14:37

Had a small amount at 303.45, less than 500 shares.

[chinese investor] 14/6/2016 14:37

CHESTY1,
We are all grateful for that !

This is a good yielder and I'm topping up at these levels.

[chesty1] 14/6/2016 14:32

Not doing the conga around the office naked just yet but looking a little stronger.....

[essentialinvestor] 14/6/2016 10:56

Sold a chunk of my US equity exposure yesterday, not sure if that is
the right decision, but the US has held up remarkably well, if we
vote Remain there will be a very significant FX bounce.

[nicksoj] 14/6/2016 10:47

Chesty.Sterling holding onto 1.41 v dollar. I hope you win big.

[chinese investor] 14/6/2016 10:32

This is all to do with BREXIT !

[pippin6] 14/6/2016 10:32

Chesty, had you not thought about leaving it until after the 23rd ? Things look like they are going to get worse before they get better ?

[chesty1] 14/6/2016 10:30

I must be mad.....

[essentialinvestor] 14/6/2016 10:29

chesty, never let it be said you are not consistent!,
hopefully it works out for you.
