I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure that I know more about my business than you do.
I think you are more than likely right, but, if you are primarily involved in exporting goods/services then shouldn't the fall in the pound be a positive indicator in terms of selling power?
Maybe the margins between inport/export are extremely tight and you could be classed as both, I dunno?
You know more about it than me.
But in aggregate most businesses are worse off now that the pound is worth less (as we import more than we export). To argue otherwise is obtuse.
Well, yeah, I suppose that is true if taken as a whole that 'in aggregate' the cons outweigh the pros, as it stands today. What about tomorrow? The next day? The next year......?
Could the trade deficit slowly swing round to a surplus, given such favourable conditions.?
"Or am I being obtuse, Mr Dufrense?
I have no idea what this is about.
Are you making a reference to the fact that even the iconic British baked bean is an import? That haricot(?) beans don't grow in Britain?
It was a vested interests sort of quip, that's all. You seem to be rightly concerned over the personal economic impact the, EU Ref has/may deliver to you.
There's nothing wrong with that in the slightest, it's possible that I might have voted differently myself when faced with such a binary decision if I thought the financial consequences, to me personally, weren't looking favorable.
The vote itself was a blip, an unexpected result, and that brings with it uncertainty.
It's the 'uncertainty' causing the fall of the pound rather than the result of the vote.
The fall, has non the less been welcomed by some.
