This was primarily to reduce exposure to US assets, not to specifically gain exposure to UK assets. In fact, if you look at their holdings you’ll see the relative percent increase is much lower for Sterling than Euro, which could signal lower confidence in GBP than EUR.
No, they could believe that UK assets have a different risk profile than US assets and want to diversify, even if they think UK assets have a lower risk-adjusted return. Diversification is valuable.
What is your brilliant solution? Bring back to power PNL plus a (so called) right coalition? Put Traian Basescu as prime minister, the liberal that stole Romania's entire naval fleet? In my town PNL won and they make Trump look sane! They claim they will bring a Tesla factory! We have no infrastructure and Hungary is absorbing electric car projects like crazy! Even Trump's dumb wall idea to keep Mexicans out of the USA sounds sane by comparison!
"What Are Your New Years Resolutions or 2018 Goals?"
Too not have a new year resolution. I don't need the start of a new year to make goals that I am already working on. I enjoy being flexible and free.
However I am committed to learning every day.
I have a plan to keep track of and hopefully I will achieve my dreams one day.
Oh, boy, another series of layoffs and the rich getting richer.
"But my free market!!"
Means squat when the elite hoards all the goods and the barriers to entry are extremely high.
So... Communism? 100$ shirts? Sweatshops? Ludditism? Also there is no free market anymore - have you seen all the punitive economic sanctions recently.
More than 90 % of its revenue comes from ads so I don't see a way they would be affected.
The only valuable brands are Youtube and the search engine(android could even operate as a nonprofit funded by Google). Progress but hardly a "win".
Yes but most of those services gain traction from the search engine. Google2 could quickly use FOSS code to integrate similar products to those that they would lose and even if they would be a MVP that would still do the trick. See what I mean ?
>Google has to do this to prevent trolls from doing it.
So you believe that a company as powerful as Google deserves more consolidated power.
No, thanks.I will stick with the possibility of getting sued by a troll than handing that power to Google.
No, but they've never used that power whereas trolls always use it for bad.
The fact that you'd rather have a troll own it than Google is literally retarded. That's like advocating you'd prefer North Korea have nukes than the US, because the US already has too much power.
Why would you rather be sued in real life over a theoretical fear? Is absurd.
