What does prorogation mean for your money?

Post by Richard Frost » Thu Aug 29 2019 6:11pm

MoneyWeek's executive editor, John Stepek says “I'd expect turbulence over the next couple of months, certainly. But if you're an active investor and stock picker, I'd use that time to build up your cash reserves and make a watchlist of stocks that you want to buy. This is the kind of torrid atmosphere that creates buying opportunities for quality companies at unusually low valuations."

The question is which shares to keep an eye on?

120 Euro = £100 could buy 100 shares of a certain stock at £1 per share.

today

120 Euro = £120 can buy 240 shares of the same stock at 50p per share.

These are approximations but you get the picture. Its not rocket science. If my savings were in euros, I know what I would do.
What do you think European investment companies will do?

On the serious side: it's not just about numbers! It's about prospects for future growth, any external investment is telling us that the prospects post-Brexit are rosy!

They are putting their money where the prospects are so I'm kinda guessing that means they know what they are doing!

Rosy for who? Not for anybody in the UK. Everything we own is being devalued day by day. Certainly a good investment for anybody outside the UK in the prospect that there may be some level of recovery. They can't really lose.

How about sticking to the question in the OP rather than rehearsing entrenched positions about Brexit.
