    So you base your investment decisions on what a politician says?

    Other way to view it: GBP just dropped against the FTSE 100. I presume you are paid in GBP, not FTSE 100 shares?
    Selling off the UK's gold reserves at USD 276 per ounce was a really good idea, which I will not citicise in any way.

    What did you expect people to say?
    And why are you paying so much attention to what these politicians say anyway?

    Staying is better than a bad deal and better than no deal.

    Boris seems to agree when he says that the Chequers deal is worse than staying in - so surely staying in would be the preferable option.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Why get gloomy over a buying opportunity? although I do have a valid answer to that, both my wife and I have already paid the max into our SiPPS and ISA's this tax year.

    So invent some kids and open new accounts. (Chuck Norris doesn't sleep - he only waits.)
