Did I just hear a London investor correctly on News at 10

[Jimbo.GRFC]

He stated that Honda, Suzuki,, Sony, Panasonic etc have ceased their production. Whilst it is bad news financially for us in the markets we do have a glimmer of hope with a company who can supply emergency electricity. What a complete Hope he doesn't get a wink of sleep tonight.

Still I suppose your bonus's pay well,, tell you what spend it all on sleeping tablets and take the lot.

Knowing you probably not.

Was he not just talking from a financial perspective and the state of the Japanese economy? Was he asked what he thought of the atrocities that have happened in the past few days?

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Hardly 'atrocities'? Tragedies perhaps? Assuming you are talking Japan and not Tunisia.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Libya not Tunisia... jeeze got meself confused now!

 

[Giraffe]

Nothing wrong with any of that Jimbo

Picky.

I see it as being an atrocious act of mother nature.

Would disastrous or catastrophic suit you better?

Unfortunately that's life (& business). The very sad events in Japan will be viewed by some as an opportunity to make some money / increase market share etc etc. Plenty of Gordon Gecko's out there I'm afraid.

I reckon they're having real problems with their supply chain, getting parts in for manufacture and goods shipped out. Any rival companies based elsewhere will be seeing this as a chance to exploit this situation.

It also demonstrates how far-reaching this crisis is for the Japanese. What will happen to the companies who support Sony etc? What about their employees?

Very sad when you think this is on top of the awful loss of life, injury and displacement on such a massive scale.

Happy to stick with tragedies thanks.

this. they want a broader economic perspective, so you ask someone from the city.

 

[Jimbo.GRFC]

You being one of the biggest ones.

EDIT: probably followed closely by me

 

[beorhthelm]

nite, and you can stay away if you like, come back when Gus leaves for Chelsea to say you told us so.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Nothing wrong with that, if he's a city worker, he's there for financial information, he's not the Red Cross.

 

[backson]

He's an investor, that's his job to consider the financial implications of such things, and that's probably what they asked him about.

Don't see a problem.

 

[chops]

Was going to make a comment but Tricky Dicky and backson have pretty much summed up exactly what I had to say in the previous two posts.

At least the car manufacturers aren't boasting about which one floats the best...VW used to use it as a selling=point for the Beetle, being watertight.

isn't that what the NWO want to do

and those rubbernecking at the death and destruction could be culled first.
