Brexit - good news...

[noseall]

I realise that but these people cannot be that clever at financial prophesying to still have salaried jobs.

Your opinion is noted, ta.

Perhaps MC has something to gain by announcing all the Brexit doom and gloom, mebbe?

 

[Ihavenojob]

nor is he likely to get up in the morning and head straight to his press secretary and say "I had a dram last night".

And more than just a wee one , judging by some of his comments.

If it is over-inflated blarney, what has he to gain by broadcasting it?

 

[Brigadier]

Has Brexit actually happened then and we all missed it? Poor Brig is confused as usual.

He might get one right, but poor you for relying on the miracle shot to support your narrative

Yes, however I'm sure they have the nous to know that if a country is going to rescind itself from a cushy trading arrangement' into the unknown, whilst being run by an inept government, then even Dave down at Ladbrookes could predict a slowdown.

support your narrative

Seriously boyo, Brexit aint till next March. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Thanks.
As it has completely escaped your comprehension, I'll put it more simply:

Carney's record on prediction ("forward guidance" was the term he was keen on) is not good.

prediction

Speaking of predictions, what have the leading Quitlings been right about so far?

That sounds really sweet. I feel guilty now calling you Clingers

Thanks.

But in response to your confusion here.....

what has MC correctly predicted up to now anyway?

...I need to remind you that Carneys predictions about Brexit will not be realised (correctly or otherwise) till March next year. You do remember posting that doncha Brig?​

Wouldn't fit the definition of "prediction" otherwise, would it?

Then as an investor I would be investing abroad.

Wise people spread their investments rather than put all their eggs in one basket...

Or maybe we could say 'setting sail on the Brexitannic without pre booking a seat on a lifeboat' isn't such a smart idea

I see no predictions, a lot of could's, should's, can's , etc etc, meaning "were hopeful" .

Any wise invester would spread their bets on investments they believed would make them money.
