Brexit - good news...

[Brigadier]

Like Motorbiking said, dependent on a whole raft of what-ifs, compounded by worst-case scenarios.


And, as someone on r5 said this morning, what has MC correctly predicted up to now anyway?

what has MC correctly predicted up to now anyway?

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

 

[^woody^]

Does Carney actually have a clue about what will happen as opposed to may-be's and could-do's?

On past performance, I would not even put 10p each way on it.

I would imagine that a person in his position would have some clue about the economy. Do you reckon he will have a few people working the numbers for him also? I bet they can forecast stuff, innit.

On past performance

Que?

Not so - otherwise they would all be fantastically rich and retired.

 

[motorbiking]

Anyway - today he is toning down what he said.

Do fantastically rich people not work?

Yep. He's now saying that a no-deal Brexit will make Britain worse off than during the 2008/9 recession.

Joy.

 

[noseall]

Not so

I didn't mean the winning lotto numbers, silly boy.

Property investors would jump in before any young people could save up the deposit on a property .

Because they know it will rocket up again when we shrug the EU off our shoulders

Yep, 50 years Ree Smogg said boyo.

They do for some reason.

What I meant, as you know, is that there can be no financial advisors still working who are any good.

Then as an investor I would be investing abroad. So no need to worry about investors buying all the property.

 

[noseall]

there can be no financial advisors still working who are any good.

What I meant as you know, is that MC does not announce his media releases upon a whim, 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 that the economy will tank, post-Brexit".

I'm guessing there will be conversations with other clever financial people first.

 

[EFLImpudence]

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