Just for the record, if it was me you were referring to 'being pounded', I didn't feel pounded. I DID sigh, feel somewhat disappointed and frustrated that yet again, like a fair few others to remain unnamed, the individual resorted to a pathetic ...

EU demands access to UK waters in order to sign trade deal

You're making assumptions. I haven't said anything about fairness. If it was straightforward there would be no need for negotiations. It isn't, so there will be. I am merely making a point about how each side may choose to frame any argument. The EU ...

EU demands access to UK waters in order to sign trade deal

Quid pro quo' in negotiations is an absolute but it's an interesting theoretical point for discussion about the differences between natural resources on the one hand and manufactured goods or services on the other. The natural resources contained ...

EU demands access to UK waters in order to sign trade deal

Indeed. The 'single' candle move up from the close immediately prior to the Exit Poll was effectively a 'gap' which the markets always look to close before any new move. The gap has now been closed.

GBPUSD collapses at European open, trading down to 1.3160. Stops Triggered

I've no particular issue with the first paragraph. It's a judgement based on analysis. Whilst I know you to have stated constantly that the UK is doomed and Europe is not, I'd love to know the reasons why you are so certain that you can see into the ...

GBPUSD collapses at European open, trading down to 1.3160. Stops Triggered

Anyone that thought that an election result would settle things is kidding themselves. Markets rely on volatility and the makers and large players will always look for the next fear to feed the rumour that greases the axles. News rarely does the ...

GBPUSD collapses at European open, trading down to 1.3160. Stops Triggered

I could be well wide of the mark but I would say that in this US/China game, China believes its strongest card is the waiting game and the USA's weakest is the need to get things done. So, this is probably an attempt by Trump/USA to disrupt the ...

Brexit Party said to have stepped down from 40 odd seats - Telegraph

I've been considering the cause and effect on this news: Brexit-influenced news releases before now implied that any or all of the following list impacted GU negatively: 1) Any form of Brexit 2) Anything less than a Customs Union 3) No Prospect of a ...

Farage: I Was Very Unhappy With The Brexit Deal Agreed By PM Johnson

Some good points made, worthy of debate. Thanks for your civil response. I wasn't writing off Ol' Uncle Sam, merely stating the short-term outlook, based on the cards in the hands. Longer-term, democracy and capitalism should have the better cards ...

China is said to doubt long-term trade deal possible with Trump

A single-party authoritarian state vs an democratically-elected presidential state with approximately 2 years, or less, at the helm. Unless the Chinese economy tanks in such a way that prompts a revolution, it's hard to see beyond the waiting game ...

China is said to doubt long-term trade deal possible with Trump

This may well be an opening negotiating stance with the Conservatives with regard to the WA, rather than the GE, and in light of the Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru and Greens developing a pact. In interviews since the UKP passed the WA, Farage has restated ...

Labour leader Corbyn: Party will back plans for general election in December

I find complaints about the timeliness of 'news' baffling. Timely news reports or gossip should be somewhat irrelevant. The markets aren't going to wait for a start gun to allow everyone to line up equally. Markets work on the basis of pricing in ...

Labour leader Corbyn: Party will back plans for general election in December

Heck! Don't hold back! Get it off your chest! Got any other extraordinary generalisations or stereotypes you feel inclined to offload onto the world?

EU agrees to give the UK a Brexit extension until January 31

Just to be clear, there was always only 2 ways for No-deal Brexit to happen: 1) That either/neither the UK Gov't or EU negotiated an acceptable deal or 2) the EU did not extend the UK's membership of the EU. Option #1 has happened: the EU and UK ...

UK Chancellor Javid: The Government Cannot Take No-Deal Off The Table

It would appear that Tony112 has kicked off a comedic stress-buster. An important service I am sure. For the benefit of some of the other comments on this stream that suggest the political shenanigans is not quite understood, here is an attempt at ...

U.K.'s Johnson Loses Vote To Fast-Track Brexit Law

Whether the deal (Withdrawal Act Bill: aka WAB) passes or not, GU will be unlikely to react in equal measure. If WAB passes then primarily GU will rise as a result of the markets being relieved that a No-Deal Brexit is off the table for good and ...

UK Parliament To Hold The First Vote On The Brexit Bill 7PM Tuesday

It's surprising someone decided this was 'News'. News would have been a hint of anything less than the full, head-on opposition to anything or anyone that doesn't fit their ideals.
