spunko2010 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 All scaremongering. The city boys want to influence democracy so it only goes their way. Hold tight, Brexiters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renting til I die Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 UK is now the world's sixth biggest economy. Fall in pound means France has overtaken us. And remember: we have years of uncertainty ahead. Years. 2 or 3 years, plus lots could happen in the Eurozone in that time to make those 2 or 3 years seem better than you think!

renting til I die Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I really don't think Brexit will actually happen. The House of Lords can veto the vote can't they? I'm still thinking something like this is possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renting til I die Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Everyone in London is so sad right now. Really really muted tone. I'm not! I've been buzzing all day. I didn't think this would happen, I'm still not sure it will, but wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R K Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 FTSE now up 2.66% on the week. Which is a pretty good week. So much for #DOOMAGEDDON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80sBaby Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 DBAG - Just made a bunch of redundancies from their trading operation. These jobs are moving to the EU. Job losses in the City already.

Sour Mash Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 FTSE now up 2.66% on the week. Which is a pretty good week. So much for #DOOMAGEDDON Hows the pound doing though - could just reflect a repricing to take the currency it's denominated in, into account.

GloomMonger Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Hows the pound doing though - could just reflect a repricing to take the currency it's denominated in, into account. Pound about the same against the Euro as late 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80sBaby Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 There is fear the BOE might intervene over the weekend, coupled with general reluctance to hold risk over the weekend. Today was a day run by risk managers! Seems like the Armageddon is over. Back to normal then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewig Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Hows the pound doing though - could just reflect a repricing to take the currency it's denominated in, into account. Interesting theory how does that work in practice? Pound gets weaker, so foreign money can buy more FTSE shares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockton Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 What does everyone make of these articles? Builders lead FTSE fightback two days falls developers bankers snap cheap shares The Mail revealed how on Friday and Monday bosses of some firms were already buying stock. Yesterday, even more used their own money to back the sector.Berkeley Group founder and chairman Tony Pidgley, who is known for his ability to pick the top and bottom of housing markets, snapped up £795,534 of shares in his company.He bought the 35,061 shares for 2269p each. The stock closed at 2375p last night – resulting in an instant paper profit of more than £37,000. and Housing bosses snapping shares companies amid rout sector Brexit vote Directors have used the sharp fall in share prices as an opportunity to pick up stock on the cheap in a vote of confidence in the sector.But with values still falling they are already sitting on paper losses.Former Bank of England official Dame Kate Barker, 59, an independent non-executive director at Taylor Wimpey, yesterday bought 20,000 shares in the company for £26,953.44.But Taylor Wimpey shares closed down nearly 15 per cent or 20.3p at 115.8p – making those shares worth £23,160 and leaving Barker with a paper loss of nearly £3,800.Fellow Taylor Wimpey director Baroness Ford and her husband David Bolger bought just over £40,000 of shares in the company on Friday. But they were worth less than £32,000 last night.They also bought £44,000 shares in landlord Grainger, where Ford is chairman, but they are now worth under £40,000 with Grainger shares down another 8 per cent or 16.9p to 193.1p yesterday.Grainger chief executive Helen Gordon spent £38,124 on shares on Friday but they are now worth £34,758. Glyn Barker, a non-executive director at London housebuilder Berkeley Group, snapped up £52,060 of stock in the company on Friday but has seen their value fall to £46,820.Savills director Rupert Robson has seen the value of the shares he bought in his company at the end of last week fall from £49,729.61 to £46,449.42. Do you think they know something is coming (HTB4 maybe?) to help share prices rise for a quick profit or are they trying to shore up their companies and hold these shares for a longer period?

R K Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Volatility is usually a long term buying opp. Media "explanations" are irrelevant narrative. 40% mark downs were a gift. Personally I am now waiting for a much deeper correction overall to load up over coming months. Im sceptical Friday was it & in any event spreads were too wide & liquidity too low.

Stockton Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I agree I dont think Friday was it. Just found it strange that the MSM is talking about this, unless they are looking to get the masses to jump into housebuilders shares... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
