Re: Brexit Virus Here Now..... HiMust admit my thoughts very similar to shovelier`s post.Results out only recently, barring anything unexpected, no new news due until May 14.CNA fundamentals hardly changing on a daily basis so whilst people wait a bit of relevant discussion re Brexit/politics not really doing any harm.It does not prevent anyone from posting their own view on CNA.CNA covered by 21 analists/brokers that I am aware of, plenty of reading out there if wanted.Average rating is hold, if of any interest.Markets are in a foul mood.GL Allsoi

Re: Brexit Virus Here Now..... I don’t see any harm in a bit of off topic discussion from time to time as long as it’s done in a good natured manner. I rarely contribute to it but it is interesting to gauge the feelings of other people with whom I have other interests in common.This occurs on many boards, notably RDSB, BP and other major FTSE companies.

Re: O/T. Brexit last post Maybe not Pro Gov commissioned these and would have given a brief. The (Pro EU) civil servants put the data in a spreadsheet and out came the results. ========== ========== I asked:1. who wrote them?2. what qualifications have they?3. what methodology was used?Your answer is as unsatisfactory as the uncompleted, leaked and unethically secret report itself, which btw, also did not model the scenario of a bespoke deal being agreed! As we all know from all the other dodgy predictions, ask the right questions, and you can get any answer you want.I note you didn't answer the second question:Why do you put so much faith in such discredited forecasts given their past failures?

Re: O/T. Brexit last post Maybe not . We know they came from DEXEU, but who wrote them, what qualifications have they? More importantly, can you tell me what methodology was used to come to these dire predictions? No you can't, nobody knows, it remains a secret.========== ========== ========== ========== =======Pro Brexit Gov commissioned these and would have given a brief. The civil servants put the data in a spreadsheet and out came the results. The Gov had a look and hid them (democracy?) only released when they were leaked. If the results had been positive it would have been on tabloid front pages and BBC. I don't know how much extra we will sell to Japan Australia NZ, Canada, India, China, USA, Indonesia, Brazil, etc etc. ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ======neither does anyone, the idea of us selling manufactured goods, cars etc from the Uk to those countries is ludicrous and Banking and Finance will result in jobs abroad and taxes paid offshore. Even your Brexit backers Dyson and JCB manufacture in Malaysia and India I do not expect to see a significant drop in trade after Brexit as they sell us many 10's of £Billions more than we sell them. It's one thing to play hardball in negotiations, but imo it's another thing altogether to see profits reduced, jobs lost, factory's closing and political unpopularity, solely because of EU ideology.========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ======lets hope your right if things so wrong it will be very painful for an economy with weak manufacturing and dependancy on banking and finance easilly controlled.I think though the only way we get a deal to see no drop in trade is If we accept EU laws Pay exit fees and ongoing fees and as TM was asked "whats the point".

Re: O/T. Brexit last post Maybe not Thats why the Pro EU Govs Impacts studies showing GDP loss of between 3% and 8% in any deal is not in any of you calcs, and creates a massive loss for Uk PLC.========== ========== I see you again have reference the dodgy leaked DEXEU forecasts. These **estimates of the impact of Brexit in 2030 were between minus 2% for EEA membership & a loss of 8% for no deal and a reversion to WTO. Tell me PTNQuestion 1.1. We know they came from DEXEU, but who wrote them, what qualifications have they? More importantly, can you tell me what methodology was used to come to these dire predictions?No you can't, nobody knows, it remains a secret. No details are available on how the figures were arrived at. Many would regard this as completely unsatisfactory and unethical. And yet you always come back to these Mystic Meg predictions.Pre referendum project fear forecasts came thick and fast from the Treasury, OECD, IMF, also from academic and commercial forecasters. All have been **proved** badly wrong, as they were with the ERM, and the Euro. Question 2. Why do you put so much faith in such discredited forecasts given their past failures?To answer your question. I don't know how much extra we will sell to Japan Australia NZ, Canada, India, China, USA, Indonesia, Brazil, etc etc. But I know we would strike trade deals with the growth economies of the world a lot quicker out of the EU, than in it. As for EU trade, at the risk of repeating myself, I do not expect to see a significant drop in trade after Brexit as they sell us many 10's of £Billions more than we sell them. It's one thing to play hardball in negotiations, but imo it's another thing altogether to see profits reduced, jobs lost, factory's closing and political unpopularity, solely because of EU ideology.PS Looks like the populist, Eurosceptic far-right that has swept through Europe, will be gaining ground again in Italy. Well done the EU, another vote of no confidence! Will they ever learn?
