Yeah, its not like the express ever make exaggerated claims

They've spent several of the last 10 days being insistent about the odds-on prospects of white Christmas and even worse chances of blizzards between then and New Year's Day.

Instead, let's look forward to a year of Boris Johnson's hedge fund manager friends - the ones who poured millions into his leadership campaign, and what do they want for their generosity - boasting about the money they are making from every announcement he makes that affects the economy.

For instance, the pound got immediately stronger on the exit polls on election night, but by only a few days later the increase had entirely disappeared as the prospects of No Deal rose again, by setting an arguably very difficult deadline.

I sense we are heading towards no deal and expect the markets to trundle down to lows through the year.

Which presumably for many on here will still be Labour and/or Jeremy Corbyn's fault :rotfl:

The chances of a UK 2020 stock market boom are slim.

Also noise to be ignored.

Daily Express article, LOL!

Is Diana still on the front cover? And what about their weather forecast articles! Hilarious!

By all means cite grown up articles in respected publications.

Respected publications making stockmarket predictions = noise.

Most are to be ignored, or at least de-prioritised in credibility. I think we can all agree that the Daily Express are near the bottom of the credibility ratings. Which was my point.
I don't think I've ever seen a Daily Mail/Sun/Daily Express article printed that hasn't made me want to laugh out loud. That people read this stuff and regurgitate it, saddens me.

There is always the next crash or recession waiting around the corner...always!

Ooh I hope so. I'm sitting on a very heavy cash position having taken profits at the end of 2019 so an imminent crash would represent an excellent buying opportunity.

That said, I've been waiting for the next crash since the taper tantrum in 2013 and this bull market just keeps on giving. What's an investor to do?

Timing is for mugs.
