Above, the Scillonian III in heavy weather – a not infrequent occurrence!
I am a creature of habit. On weekdays my routine is the same: After breakfast, I switch on the computer, download the emails and then surf onto the internet. First website is Google Finance to check on my stock watchlist. Depending on the data, the routine can change from that point. When it does not change the next website is the BBC. I surf onto other websites after this.
I do not spend all day on the computer. I do other things. The point of the above information about my weekday routine is that this morning the UK stock market is up. I reckon that in the not too far distant future the UK stock market is going to go down – a lot!
I have my eyes on a certain stock. IF the stock market goes down a lot and this stock’s price falls significantly, I will purchase some stock.
We live in a very uncertain times. It is in fact somewhat surprising that the UK stock market is at the values it is at this time. The devolved Scottish and Welsh and English local authority elections (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62nq678nyzo) on Thursday 7th May will likely result in some significant changes of electoral fortunes. Should these be significant to very significant degree and result in a change of Prime Minister we might see some moves in the London stock market. However, global developments will drive major movement in stock values.
FACT: The Labour government is NOT in control of events! Events are in control of them!
