LONDON, April 18 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May will make a statement outside her Downing Street office at 1015 GMT on Tuesday following a regular meeting with her senior ministers, May's office said. It is unusual for leaders to make a statement outside Number 10 Downing Street and most prime ministers only use the setting for major announcements. Her office gave no indication on the subject of Tuesday's statement.
MAYBE a general election announcement - speculation?

FFB for a long term hold is virtually impossible to beat, as you will have gathered by looking at past performance and the latest divvie:-
"dividend increased by 25,12% from 62,81 cents to 78,59 cents per share compared to the previous period."

« on: April 08, 2017, 12:41:47 pm »Worst still coming if Rand's local rating is downgraded. Think I'll actually worry if news of that happening starts making the rounds.Well, Fitch has downgraded local Rand denominated debt to junk together with foreign denominated debt. If Moody's does the same, that's when the big selling of government bonds will take place as they then cannot be included in bond index trackers like Citibank World Government Bond Index and JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index.
That will cause the R. to weaken further. Our S.A. Inc. shares have not priced in this scenario. Very baaa..aa..aad.

Unlikely. Z. has done his homework. Majority in NEC still supportive of Z. This thing is here to stay, not a Nene replay scenario. Emigrate if you can.
