nausea Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 To be honest, after a period of looking everyday I don't bother anymore; maybe, towards the end of the month when my pension payment is due. Up down, up down - it's like a bl#@dy yo-yo. I will start taking a serious interest towards the end of the next financial year, when my 2nd pension becomes due, which I intend to take as a lump sum. So far I've been lucky with timings - sold my flat- 69bt, got my main pension lump sum- 50bt. I suppose, nowadays, if you were really canny you'd keep your funds in the UK and transfer on the upward trends. I'm too lazy for that. I think it's uncertainty that's driving this volatility, when the dust settles we'll know where we stand. Personally, I can't see a major Western economy nosediving, like we're all linked, the hurt would be spread around, the butterfly effect. Link to comment

turgid Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 My prediction - Yes vote today - pound will rise. Business likes certainty. UK Shares based on international currencies (miners, oil - most of the FT 100) will fall. Stuff like BT with revenues in UKP might rise. No vote - more chaos and uncertainty. Guy on Sky News just pointed out that its impossible and irrelevant to vote against or exclude no deal. The very definition of No Deal is no deal . EU have said deal or no deal has to be in place by 24th May otherwise the 2019 EU elections will throw a spanner in the works as any deal would have to be ratified by the new representatives. Interesting times. Link to comment

Interesting times. well, your first prediction was wrong. as for what the pound will do after a yes vote, I say it will fall further, because: - I guess markets currently expect the situation to evolve into a second referendum and eventually into a remain - if the Brexit finally takes place against the will of parliament (don't kid yourselves), this will mean a lot of short-term trouble for UK trade as well as for the city, a lot of banks will leave London taking their business with them - the sterling will then be between a rock and a hard place. if the sterling appreciates, UK exports will find less buyers, and the BoE has practically no room to lower rates to boost the economy so that a slump is likely, which will erode the pound, UK economy might have problems to fund itself, leaving the BoE with no other choice than to increase money supply which will in turn weigh on the pound. so I don't see the pound benefit from Brexit, sorry.

nausea Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yes. I guess. Or maybe not. At least we won't be dependent on some politician's utterance. What me and the rest need, is some kind of certainty. You can't plan when you're standing on quicksand. Link to comment
