Post by: Corporal Jones on July 06, 2016, 22:51.: What is it with these egotistical people who state that anyone who voted out was misled and wasn't aware of the potential consequences of leaving the eu, just because we dont work for a multinational or live south of watford doesn't make us thick or ignorant. Just for the record weve got the best part of a million pounds invested in Spanish property so any currency devaluation will have a massive consequence.

Yes I would. By a strong Prime Minister who should never have offered a referendum in the first place

Post by: Corporal Jones on July 07, 2016, 08:29.: From memory Chris they used to call these strong leaders a dictator who ran an autocratic country where the people got told what to do, fortunately were now in the 21st century where democracy rules, though i think there are still people in the london bubble who regard lenin as a great man.

Post by: John H on July 07, 2016, 15:18.: Good thinking there Tony, the thought never crossed my mind.
Made the next 6 months wages on the markets in the last couple of weeks though, even though I've been cautious......every clouds got a silver lining

Post by: John H on July 07, 2016, 17:49.: The drop in sterling has helped ekriscal, you get a double whammy on funds invested in overseas markets of market performance and exchange rates.
I'm not sure what's driving the markets at the moment, I reckon we are in for a fall quite shortly.

as long as you do not sell, you have not made a penny ...
Title: Re: exchange rates
Post by: John H on July 07, 2016, 21:00.: Ive sold, as I say I think the markets over valued at the moment, I'm in no hurry to get back in.
I've made a living for the past 10 years playing the markets, the time you're out of the market is just as important as the time you're in it.
