Hmmm.... Angela Merkel calls for creation of 'real, true' EU army https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/emmanuel-macron-eu-army-european-france-angela-merkel-germany-trump-a8631806.html

Sure, tell him or her it's not likely to work, but if they want to try, they should do so. I don't see how else anyone can live up to their potential without trying (and yes, probably failing...but that's life).

Goldman Sachs, which employs 6,500 UK staff, is set to at least double its Frankfurt workforce to 400. Citi has confirmed around 150-200 staff will be affected out of 6,000 in London Barclays also expects a "small number" of roles - around 150 - to move from London to Europe, with most...

I missed this, this was in November: https://www.politico.eu/article/trump-calls-macrons-comments-on-building-a-european-army-to-defend-against-u-s-insulting/ Macron during an interview on Europe 1 radio called on the formation of "a true European army" after Trump announced that the U.S. was...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46792556 Leader of the main opposition party beaten up. Too bad. I'm shocked that the opposition party in Germany is a bunch of far right extremists. Maybe they'll be in power in the next few years. Even more shocking is that people want the UK to stay...

Most of my assets are in GBP. After all, I live in London. I do take positions though both for hedging and speculative purposes. My last trade was being short from 1.27, I exited at 1.25 when the flash crash happened last week. Predictions? FWIW, going forward, a no deal brexit will cause a dip...

They sampled 57 firms out of thousands of financial services companies in London. 44% (25) said they were moving some assets to Europe. Which is fine, I would also be moving some assets too if I were the management of a firm which had EU dealings. To my mind it's more noteworthy as to why 56%...

Mate, you never answered my queries, just kept on with your pro EU propaganda. My last question I asked was if there was another economic free trade area that a member paid £10 billion to, hell, any amount, you couldn't even answer that. You are clearly out of your depth. Bye.

Most guys who start Formula 1 after passing their driving test will probably be dead within a day. But there will the one or two who might just make it...same thing in trading 1 minute and 5 min...they will not know unless they try.

Nope. Over £10 billion a year. We could just take that money and spent it on any industries that are affected by a no deal brexit. Btw, can you name me another 'free' trade area in the world where a member pays £10 billion a year to be in the club. Does the US pay to be a member of NAFTA or...

Depends on definition. £350 million is the gross amount sent to Brussels. The EU sends some back in terms of grants and subsidies etc. After that is taken account of, the net contribution is £250 million a week. Which is £10.5 billion a year.

From your favourite left wing newspaper: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/07/hunt-boxer-assaulted-french-police-gilets-jaunes-protest-paris "The French authorities said a total of 50,000 protesters took part in an eighth successive weekend of demonstrations across the country." But...

Use whatever u like....as long as it's profitable for you.

July 2015? There were daily and nightly demonstrations. Check it out on Google and on YouTube.

That's comforting to know, thanks.

Like the other guy, you shoulda gone to the capital of the country to witness the nonstop riot which in this case was Athens.

Um, well the rioting and petrol bombing is scheduled every weekend in Paris. You need to go there, that's where the action is and the sky is falling down.

Good to hear u had a good time in Paris. Fwiw I've enjoyed Paris too. I dunno about protests years ago but apparently the protesters are using petrol bombs etc these days. I'm not worried about the finance guys and girls who are moving from relatively peaceful London to riotous Paris...im...

London has a couple of trillion of assets coming in and out every day.

Why on Earth are these guys investing in London real estate if they want to leave for Europe? Why are rents in London at their highest ever if everyone is leaving? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2019/01/02/foreign-investors-defy-fears-exodus-offices-deals/ Investors poured £20bn into...
