I do not think there is any obligation on people to respond rapidly to queries on here but as you are in a hurry Naomi I will answer that i think Mikey was probably referring to Khandro's post
"An abysmal performance last night on Q. Time Special, all he could talk about were fiscal matters based on the views self-serving "experts".

^ not these - In 1999 a majority of economist surveyed by The Economist were in favour of dropping the pound and joining the euro currency which we now know would have been a huge error

[mikey4444]

FF....experts have been rubbished in this Referendum debate since it started, on both sides but mainly from the LEAVE camp.

[fiction-factory]

How do we know it would have been a huge error?

[ToraToraTora]

Told you that last week

[naomi24]

fiction-factory, I'm not in a hurry and I know there is no obligation for people to respond rapidly. However, I also know that Mikey will not respond to me at all - hence my request. Must have been something I said. :o)

Thank you for your response, although it doesn't really answer the question.

[fiction-factory]

I should have made it clear my comment was in response to Orderlimit's. I'm not sure whether yours, TTT, is to me or mikey.

[fiction-factory]

I understand Mikey's comments.

The "experts" wrt the economy are more "best guessers" than is the case for dentists and doctors because the markets are more chaotic. It's changes with public confidence for one thing, no one can get a good handle on that or every investor would be a billionaire and there would be no one who lost their shirt. We all know the consequential, wildly incorrect forecasts made by "experts" in the past.

Brokers aren't called brokers for nothing, They invest your money until you are broke !

Plus we are aware that if you put your favourite assumptions into whatever calculations you make, you tend to get the answer you desire.

I think the lack of respect for "expert" opinion is probably based on that past experience and the suspicion of hidden agendas, either making it easier for the "expert" if change can be avoided, or a desire to boost official Government policy.

[Old_Geezer]

We know because we can see the well prophesied issues it caused/causes for non-German countries.

[Orderlimit]

Big subject FF but i think it is now generally accepted in hindsight

[ToraToraTora]

Mine is to the OP

[-Talbot-]

mikey ...Who's rubbishing which experts?

[-Talbot-]

oh wait ... I think he is ignoring me too

Would someone else ask mikey

//Who's rubbishing which experts? //

[naomi24]

Mikey says //I don't understand this rubbishing of experts views….. When I go to the Dentist., etc., etc//

… and then when questioned on that statement goes on to say // experts have been rubbished in this Referendum debate since it started, on both sides //

… which begs the question, why does Mikey think that only the 'experts' wheeled out by the ‘Remainers’ are credible?

[Khandro]

Cameron's "experts" on whom he puts so much emphasis, have been wrong on every issue on which they have advised, not least, that Britain should join the euro.

[Kathyan]

Naomi, it's not just you. I'm still waiting for an answer to a question from about three weeks ago!

[naomi24]

Kathyan, I'm in good company then. :o)

[Jackdaw33]

Mikey's probably at work or out canvassing for REMAIN.

[Baldric]

Is he a Door Knocker, like a JW then?
