Surging stock markets say Trump is a conman and May a phoney

Markets are betting that they won’t address the economic grievances that propelled both of them to power

So you thought 2016 was an unpredictable bastard. Now meet 2017, his wilder sister. This is the year that Brexit turns from conjecture into trajectory. The process of departure will start to happen when Mrs May delivers her “Dear Jean” letter to the EU, the piece of paper that formally notifies the commission that Britain wants a divorce.

It is conceivable that this could be delayed by the verdict on the parliamentary process that the Supreme Court will deliver later this month. But Article 50 is going to be triggered in the next 12 months, with consequences that the best minds in politics, diplomacy and trade can only guess at.

Before that, in less than three weeks’ time, Donald Trump gets his fat fingers on the nuclear biscuit. One of the most inexperienced and erratic personalities ever to occupy the Oval Office – and that’s the PG version of his character – will take office at a time of severe geopolitical turbulence.

1. The surging stock markets are a bubble. The tools I use are triggering a large amount of

caution going into 2017 when the orange man gets the reins.

2. Bubble bursting about late February or March .??

3. Once the euphoria bursts, likely quarter end, and reality settles in. I'm keeping

my risk level low. We're in totally uncharted territory with this guy and his regime.

4. Agreed.
