Profit Warnings In The United Kingdom Reach “Post Lehman” Highs

Companies in the United Kingdom have issued profit warnings that are at levels not seen since the post Lehman Brothers collapse.

According to information obtained by the Telegraph from accounting firm Ernst & Young, warnings from UK listed companies reached 287 at the end of the 2012 reporting period which was a rise of 26%.  This represents the most in one year since 2008, the year that the global economy came to a standstill after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September of that year.

Concerns cited by Ernst & Young include continuing risks across the entire Eurozone and the United States with concern cited for slowing growth in China. The British economy showed zero growth for 2012 and it marked Britain’s worst economic performance since 1830.

    1. Tinka is my favorite long proxy for silver. They have the goods. Let's wait until we can get a better read on this silver decline before adding substantial positions.

      My view on Tinka has never changed.....it will be a winner and for those that got in early enough, already has.

I encourage free speech. I will not tolerate hate speech directed towards race, ethnicity, colour or religion and no trolling for the sole purpose of being disruptive I expect respect and civility. Thank you.
