One day the papers point out things are booming next day they claim it's hitting the lows. The FTSE 250 is almost back where it used to be prior to Brexit, and higher than it was 6 months ago. The exchange rate is fairly stable and we are aware that a drop may increase the cost of imports but reduces the relative cost of exports so no real overall issue save pride.

Economies go up and down, the cost has been much minor than expected already, and the signs are that there is no issue having a buoyant economy when fully sorted. The media tell us many places are enquiring about lining up in a market arrangement outside of the EU.

If you haven't sorted your pension that has to be your own responsibility.

If people keep talking it down, investors will get nervous, ergo, self inflicted often with malevolent intentions.

[Baldric]

It was on the Biased Broadcasting Company, don't let it worry you.

I wish your pension well, SP.

FTSE at 6700. Not bad. (My modest portfolio has risen by nearly 9%!). So the world hasn't yet ended. Seems we didn't need Osborne's emergency budget either. Nor (yet) the 250 billion Carney said he'd stashed away to settle the markets, support the pound or whatever if we were naughty enough to vote the wrong way.

How was your dinner the other night?

"The media tell us many places are enquiring about lining up in a market arrangement outside of the EU."

because up to now the eussr prohibited us dealing with them,we could only deal with eussr countries...remember play.com (now Rakuten I believe) ? based in jersey, CDs could be puchased through them a couple of quid cheaper...oh no says the anti-competitive eussr, you can only get your cds at from where we tell you...oh and yeah, at a price we decide (higher)

so now we can do what we like and stick two fingers up to the eussr and get the best deals from anywhere we choose.

AS usual the Blatantly Biased Clowns have cherry picked a scare story, rather than highlight the reports that show things on a lot of fronts have now exceeded pre brexit levels etc, property prices havent fallen 18% (did anybody actually believe that ?)

My pension is actually doing fine. Many use foreign funds anyway and you could have chosen them.

So sorry your post is b*****ks this time. Quite surprised you wrote that as you are far from daft

[vetuste_ennemi]

Then of course there's ARM. (Wipes tear from eye).Weren't we told that the ONLY reason any foreign company would invest in Britain was because we were inside the EU?

"So sorry your post is b*****ks this time. Quite surprised you wrote that as you are far from daft".

We all have our off days, Yougmafbog.

Blame the market people and currency speculators - they are just knee jerking to take some quick profits - even the IMF has had to improve its ats initial recommendation.

Ask Lagard sp, she's happy to splash the cash when required:

I take it you Brexiters will put your money where your mouth is? After all, you all so sure...

[webbo3]

I deal with pensions, Bonds and investments on a daily basis and pretty much every pension and bond has gone up since brexit, don't forget sp you pensions are not only invested in uk companies.

[Postdog]

Dunno what this is about and can't be bothered to find out, but thoroughly sick of remainers moaning. Just saying. So sorry my concern was for my country rather than your pension.

[retrocop]

As a Brexiter I have ample to survive on comfortably ,thank you ,with my pensions. Mind you when I contributed what seemed at least a 1/3 of my meagre pay about 47 years ago it was a big worry and a struggle. Thanks for your concerns but those I know who paid nought into their non-contributory pensions (BT) all those years back are not gloating at me and feeling so smug now. :-)

[Peter Pedant]

erm Sp the answers above can be summed up as

we dont give a toss Sp so long as our pensions are OK !

[New Judge]

As has been pointed out, sp, your complaint holds little water.

Quite why you think this news will influence your pension is a little unclear, especially as the story is at total odds with one published only yesterday:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/brexit-has-not-caused-a-sharp-slowdown-in-business-activity-bank-of-england-says-a7145796.htm

"EU referendum has caused a sharp uptick in uncertainty among firms, but most firms are maintaining 'business as usual'"

(Similar reports are in other journals lest you suspect the Independent is not, er... independent).

Many things may effect your pension and Brexit is certainly one of them. However, with just four weeks since the vote and nothing of any significance having taken place it is ridiculous to draw long term conclusions. However, I am not a gambler but if pressed I would wager that in ten years time, long after the EU has slumped into irreversible terminal decline, you will thank the stupid voters, the ignorant voters, the old voters and the stupid ignorant old voters for rescuing your pension.

Settle down Petal. its early days!!!!

I nearly started to weep to read your cont

As a Brexiteer - I don't have anything like enough in my pension after the Lehman collapse (halved it, so I struggle). So, we are all in the same boat, at the whim of the markets - as per usual in fact.

It will all settle down eventually - has already started to do so, so just hang on - you have more chance than I had. Life is chancy.
