Morning all, I spent an interesting hour or two reading over yesterdays debate ... as usual, we always find ourselves in interesting times. Complicated times too...so it's unusually hard to forecast, and forecasting is unusually hard! Seems to me the UK may be the blue print... since a fiscally adventurous government had its wings clipped rather quickly...the markets, currency and government bonds said NO. The rest is history....a little less fiscal adventurism please.

Taking a risk here, but Paul fires the starting pistol for a new bull market in UK small caps! (just an opinion remember, could be right or wrong). Valuations are now becoming so attractive, due to many investors pulling out, that opportunities galore are presenting themselves. Hence why I think this is now time to be loading up with decent company shares, at modest valuations. I think sentiment may have now bottomed out, and money could begin flowing back in. Time will tell! Hosted on Acast.

Re: Portmeirion (LON:PMP) Thank you Wolf - no I'd not seen the brokers note. That leaves me looking hopelessly optimistic I think. I like to think its contrarian - but in this case it might just prove to be hopelessly optimistic. I probably wasn't clear - as an optimist, my figures are a middle case. Where the de-stocking is not completely reversed but the orders do recover to some extent in H2 as indicated by forward order book and customer direct buying.

Good morning from Paul & Graham!News today from the ONS that UK inflation has dropped a little more than expected, but is still way too high of course. Here are the main points (with thanks to the ONS) - The Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH) rose by 7.3% in the 12 months to June 2023, down from 7.9% in May. On a monthly basis, CPIH rose by 0.2% in June 2023, compared with a rise of 0.7% in June 2022.
