| Quote: | | | | This is what the whole Brexit mess was built on. Misdirected blame at the EU for situations which had either been created or caused by the sovereign nation involved. | | | | | And it's covered quite well in this interview with James O'Brien. Not a fan of Owen Jones though. |

Farage has given Boris until 14th of November to agree an alliance - but only on the proviso he drops the Deal.

Ideally a company should be able to invest it's earnings as a higher rate, so high dividends tells you something about the company, quite often it's about to go bankrupt.

| Quote: | | | | | Sorry, but that is so not true. The second part. | | | | | Depends how high the dividend appears to be, if it's much above 10% in todays market the dividend will likely cut because they cant afford to pay it, if it hits 25% the company is about to collapse, the dividend being so high as the share price has fallen significantly. What part is not true? or is your definition of a high dividend different from mine?

My feeling is that it will linger for a while yet.
