By Jim Mellon Two weeks ago, I pulled my first all-nighter since I was 18. The news that the side I supported—those urging the United Kingdom to leave the European Union—had won the referendum was a shock to most observers, including myself. I had a variety of bets on the outcome that paid off, but I had placed them more out of emotion than rational analysis. Immediately after the vote, a movement among disappointed Remainers began to question its validity, with demonstrations in London, vitriol on the Internet, and mooted legal challenges. The liberal, metropolitan elite couldn't believe that it had lost, particularly since all the runes had indicated a successful outcome for Remain. They still can't believe it, but the predictions of doom haven't come true (the stock market is now up by some measures, and the pound has fallen to what I think is a reasonable rate).

Engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce (RR.) has bought the outstanding 53.1% of Industria de Turbo Propulsores for a €720 million (£617.1 million) consideration. The company believes that the purchase will strengthen its civil aviation division by helping to capture additional value in the longer run by taking an additional share of aftermarket revenues. Up to 50% of the value of the deal may be paid in shares, but a decision on the exact split of the consideration will be made at a later date. Rolls-Royce shares closed the day at 724p, down by 1.50p. |
