CITY VIEWS: ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT STOCK MARKET TURBULENCE?
PETER WALTON | BT
“It is always going up or down. The uncertainty does make it difficult for institutional investors to manage very large portfolios. It goes up or down for often unknown reasons, and I don’t get too concerned about short-term undulations in the indices.”
ANGIE TABBINER | CITY OF LONDON
“I wouldn’t say I was worried about it. It feels like it’s under control, as much as a stock market can be. I think it will balance itself out. I can understand that it makes some people concerned, when they have so much of their own money riding on short term rises and falls.”
ANTONY DENCH | PCL WHITEHALL
“My opinion is that I’m very worried about it. I don’t know that it’s turbulent as such; it seems to be moving downwards pretty convincingly. I don’t follow the day to day numbers that closely, but the big picture is pointing down. But then some people make their livings betting on stocks falling.”
