Hi everyone I hope you are all well,
August has been a quiet month for retail bond issues but we expect activity to pick up fast as we enter September.
It has been reported that European banks have to reduce their assets to reduce risk so we expect more companies in the U.K. and Europe to start actively issuing retail bonds or organising themselves to do so.
We have had www.retailbonds.co.uk active for some time and are soon going to revamp the site and make it more informative.
We will now start to make the European site more informative www.retailbonds.eu for those who wish to see how the European market will grow country by country.
Happy and successful investing to you all.

Retail bonds attract local authority thinkers.
It is believed ,having discussed this at previous meetings,that some local authorities are thinking of the possibility of issuing retail bonds to assist in their financial requirements.
It is believed that at least one if not possibly two city local authorities in the West Midlands in the U.K. are discussing this.This will be a first.
If it does come to fruition we will report it to you with the necessary information.
Happy and successful investing to you all.

U.K.finance and the summer blues.
Hi everyone,
moving into the month of August summer temperatures are cooling.
Contrasting retail figures show turnover up and profit margins down.Some of the big boys are running to stand still.Can they continue running fast.I do not think some will keep it up.
The business horizon is changing and some of the big boys are facing new financially well backed competition especially in the food trade.Expect some of the big boys to suffer as the competition comes really active.This will hurt them in their cash flow where it really hurts.
Watch them start to dump some of the business models they are in and watch them dump some of their product lines they have entered which never have really made them money and just used up their cash flow.
In the U.K. crowdfunding and peer to peer is now taking off but does need to be explained to many businesses that can now raise funds by this way.It will be some time for the market to grow with independant traders and other businesses but the market will be large.
Crowdfunding sites and peer to peer can be accessed through www.nonbanklending.co.uk for sites in the U.K. this includes property peer to peer sites also.
Hope you are all keeping well.
Happy and successful investing to you all
And may the sun shine on you so you can enjoy life.

U.K.has to change.
Hi everyone,
The latest in the U.K. is to change all the empty high street shops into living accomodation. Therefore making people use some type of transport to shop out of town .If you have not got transport hard luck.
Where is this thinking coming from?
There seems to be an attitude in the U.K. that others do not matter.The others being all those that are getting old, not computer literate and do not have or cannot afford transport.
Everything is going on line.Rubbish . 11% so far in sales on line but how true are these figures.Oh you should not ask that.What about wrong products dispatched or items returned.I would like to see those figures.
Also when I went to school 11% was not all unless mathematics have changed in the intervening years.
Also there is talk that people in the U.K will soon be having to retire at 70 years of age based on our living longer.
I think it is about time we had some leaders get together and look at the really long term because the way things are projected in the U.K at today's thinking we will be retiring at a 100 years of age in another 70 years time.
Time for us to get together and decide what society will want and to make some financial investments work for society not for a few who get super rich on them.
Having a really good living out of being successful and skilled is not a problem.Becoming super rich is the problem.
Happy and successful investing to you all and lets sometimes think of others and change the world for better times.

August retailing in the U.K.
Hi everyone,good times ahead?
In the U.K. although there is a lot of money in the U.K. it is not moving around.Cashflow is really tight.Many large companies have still not grasped the power the internet has given people.
People are educating themselves and are better informed.Internet retailng is still about 11% in the U.K. not the 'it is all going online as they say'.
Spending has dropped dramaticaly as earnings have dropped in the U.K.
Profits have recovered for many companies substantionaly so. More income has to filter lower down and 0 hour contracts will have to be got rid of .O hour contacts are a growing problem for many and there is a growing resentment of them in the U.K.
However things will improve in the U.K.

U.K. Summer in recession.
Hi Everyone,
Summer in the U.K. I do think this summers heat has just about saved the U.K. from recession yet once again.It has definitely saved a lot of businesses(holiday) from going bust as people stay in the country.
However to the end of July cash was getting tight and cash flow again is not good.One cannot decide whether the public are paying back bills or just not spending or have now spare money.It is hard to guess.
It would be nice to see the economy lift as we head to September but I still think some big retailers will go bust as they are not making the profit required on their sales .We still need a clear out of the big boys who are spoiling the economy in the U.K.
On a better note happy and successful investing to you all.Win the day,most of the time.
