Post-Brexit

1 comment

London has long held a reputation as the leader of the financial industry, at least in terms of banking. However, after Brexit, banks currently located in London are planning on relocating elsewhere to the European Union - to countries such as Ireland and perhaps France. What does this portend for England, the EU, and the rest of the world?

    What do you think about affect of automation workforce?

    Especially, Japanese companies are facing a workforce automation problem. It’s not the kind you normally hear about, though — workers aren’t afraid they’ll lose their jobs to machines. Instead, the companies need to engineer robots to replace the droves of Japanese workers approaching retirement age. Right now, over a quarter of the Japanese population is over the age of 65, and that number is expected to jump to 40 percent over the next 40 years. That’s bad news for industries that will need to replace those retiring workers, especially for industries like construction for which automation hasn’t caught on as quickly.

    24% earnings growth

    Another week of stellar earnings reports has gone by without any payoff in stocks. Even Friday’s rally, the biggest in almost a month, couldn’t turn the tide. Why do you guys think people aren't responding well to earnings growth? I personally don't trade on earnings. I usually rely on others to.
