There was a similar scenario in a West Wing episode, where Bartlett pulls a stroke and trashes Ritchie before the election, ostensibly unaware that heâs on air, allowing a debate to fester on Ritchieâs suitability while being able to get away without making further comment.
Not necessarily. Himself and Rifkind probably just donât give a fuck anymore. Rifkind is out and Ken is coasting to his 50th year in the Commons and is out of frontline politics. In terms of his word carrying weight, with 3 Brexiters on the ballot, him being pro Europe doesnât carry much frankly.
The FTSE 100 marches on like a colossus because those companies are multinationals reporting in sterling. The UK economy is irrelevant to most of them. Weaker sterling means higher earnings.
agreed we should be more focused on the 250 to look at british companies and the british economy, but who says anyone is worried about the local english economy, bad news for Fredâs caf in Wakefield yes thats depending on some metalworks i agree, but the rest of usâŚ
who gives a fuck about? that.FTSE100 booming is good for heavy hitters who have semi conductor shares on NASDAQ, thats all this forum focuses on
Where you donât want to be at the minute is a non-sterling based investor in UK shares or a company that reports earnings in something other than sterling but has a large exposure to earnings in sterling.
