    Sterling falls, more tourists. Buy hotel shares?

    Companies that export UK made goods. e.g. hover crafts?

    I can only repeat the age old mantra.

    Diversify, Diversify & Diversify again.

    I know that I live in the Uk but I see the UK as part of the world economy and so much of what I buy is world (dollar) priced. I even know of very large UK companies that do internal costings and pricings in euros or dollars.

    I read somewhere that inflation is probably pent up in the stocks and when it gets out to the real economy, people shall be in for a hyperinflation shock!

    But I do read alot of vaguely convincing stuff. Still don't have a clue what to believe. :lipsrseal

    Nothing has happened yet. We are still fully paid up members of the EU. All we have is mention of a hard Brexit by Theresa May to keep the swivel-eyed loons quiet at the Tory party conference. For that the pound has lost 20% of its value against the dollar.
    I'm afraid its looking like more than 3% inflation to me. :(
