This has been mentioned before - the Duke of Brussels will totally ignore your post and this one too - other than I have just prompted him to react, it could be interesting, it might not be
Share prices in the FTSE are denominated in £Sterling. At present share prices (in £) are high. Given how much the £ has dropped during the past year, share values in international currencies are 5% lower than they were a year ago. So much for "stock market highs".
Whatever you are selling (goods, services, assets, shares, labour) they will definitely be easier to sell if the prices are cut. Anybody selling anything always has the option of cutting their prices and increasing sales. So does that mean it is a good strategy to adopt? Not altogether - there is a downside which is pretty obvious to most people. Except some posters on here, apparently.
The stock market is also being propped up by a flight from bonds and, I suspect, the excess liquidity from QE that is searching for a home. Hopefully some good inflation will come along soon and help return us to some form of normality.
Flexible strategies are best to be sure but profit earnt on small margins but heavier sales often beat higher prices and lower sales Clearly
This hypocritical little weasel is exactly why we shouldn't be having to answer to any unelected foreign elites. Jean-Claude Juncker blocked EU curbs on tax avoidance, cables show | Business | The Guardian
Do as I say, not as I do. It's a example of how deceit and corruption enabled people like him get to influence the EU. A nothing country that became a "beacon" built on cheating other EU members. And his EU colleagues watched it happen then put him in a position of power and influence in the whole shebang. The fact he's still there influenced many people's vote in June. Lest you forget this embarrassment.
Unfortunately Junker will have the last laugh as the Brexit negotiations start with the UK being handed a bill for £50 billion to pay for future liabilities such as pensions. The fact that he is securely in place without any real challenge after his dubious behavior and tax schemes just demonstrates that he is just the tip of a rotten iceberg that is the EU leadership. This rotten bunch and their attitude to the UK over a number of years is the biggest reason for my voting to leave. Jean-Claude Juncker, 61, President of the European Commission Salary: £245,629 plus a residential allowance of £36,844 and a monthly expense allowance of £1,135. Pension of £52,500 for life from age 65.
The EU might have a large bill for us but I think we have a claim on the building and infrastructure of the EU we helped to build, it works both ways.
The 50 billion was a slight dodgy claim. It included our yearly fee's whilst we are still in the EU until 2019 plus one year where Britain had signed up financial commitments that finish in 2020
I found this quite interesting,mainly because it pretty much describes how I see things and it saves me the trouble of trying to write it all down Yes I am a Breitbart reader,(I try to avoid any website that concentrates on Kanye Kardashian whoever that may be ),and no I have no idea of who Delingpole is,(some things are worth reading regardless of who wrote them). No need to read it if you don't know the real meaning of the words,"equality",and,"democracy": it will only piss you off if you do. DELINGPOLE: Rules for Righties -- a War-Winning Manifesto for 2017
I saw on SKy this morning, they said they had done a poll ( didn't say where they had or how many were involved) that said 75% of the U.K. felt more racist and less happy. They then went and had a number of guests to comment on it whilst promoting their own survey as facts of the entire nation. Most media are like that kid at school, the nasty shit stirring kid that causes more problems than anyone else whilst saying honest it's true.
Ivan Rogers played a key role in Cameron's negotiations and improved (?) deal negotiated with the EU before the referendum was held. Is his resignation bad news? I think perhaps not.... Interesting article by Andrew Mar: An optimist's guide to Brexit
Whilst not ideal to lose a member of 'a' negotiation team so close to the proposed start date, I too feel that his loss is greatly exaggerated by the remain camp and being used as something else to moan about. Negotiations do not need to have somebody involved with previous history, or relationships with those whom you're negotiating with. If anything it can soften stances too quickly, give too much away too early, or simply put us in a weak position especially if the person negotiating is known to not believe (or want) in the things they're negotiating for. Equally, I don't blame him for resigning early. It's probably not that he feels pushed out, possibly more so that he can't really fight for what he wants which I presume is to remain, at least in part.
> Netflix: Hunting Britains Most wanted > extradition. Not sure if it's worth a watch?... only watched the first 15 mins yesterday, Since the expansion of the EU, linked to open borders, the UK is a popular destination... Although it mentions people from all over the world. Talks about crime rates. The expansion the police had to undergo to deal with it during a time when they were having to contend with cuts.. Perhaps a load of rubbish.
