I read MW weekly and it's pretty damn good if I might say so. Here's a gist of what I've gathered recently from it:-
1) Sell equities, especially FTSE 250.
2) Some companies may be good long term buys, commodities companies in particular - BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, and the oil majors BP / Shell.
3) Food inflation makes a good investment, CORN etc.
4) Silver is a good buy, better than gold even.
5) Nikkei is a good bet as it is often contrarian to world markets, and the JPY is likely to appreciate fast, hence increasing your investment worth.
6) Property is most definately over as a good investment.
There's a lot more but I can't recall it all off the top of my head.Comment

What makes it different this time is the tightening of credit. Something we haven't seen before. If UK lenders haven't been loosening credit, then it will not affect it, and the housing market will continue. However if lenders have been changing the conditions to allow greater borrowing, eg. not asking for deposits etc. then this is dangerous as higher prices have been funded by borrowers being allowed to take out bigger loans rather than borrowers simply being richer.I'm alright JackComment

You are also ignoring the fact that most UK banks are exposed to the US market, so it has already happened. Look at Northern Rock which is effectively not offering mortgages any more.Hard Brexit now!
