Here we are, only a week to go before we vote and I don't know about anyone else, but I am getting a sense of deja vu. In the lead-up to the referendum vote, we all took quite disparate views about trading and those who sold up might well have done very nicely. Actually, some of us who sat on our hands did well enough. I find myself wondering if I should at least top slice some of the profits in some of my holdings in the expectation of post election turbulence. Part of my problem lies in the nature of my portfolio, the design being "buy to hold for dividend yield to be drawn down only in the future". I take great care in initial selection and only part with a company when it fails to bear regular fruit. I will probably, therefore, ignore the whole grisly business, but I'd be interested to read other peoples' philosophies.

It's going to be much worse than an unsettled week. We are looking at T May standing down, a catastrophic weakening in the Brexit negotiating position and another general election in the Autumn. And a resurgent Labour party with an anti-business, high tax manifesto. It will take longer than a week to settle all that.
