Seems overinflated to me as well. Only a few months ago we were looking at a EURO collapse. We still have a good war with Russia to go yet, so I've decided to buy a Nuclear Bunker and fill it with Tescos Own Brand Beans just in case.Originally posted by DodgyAccountant View PostSeptember / October

A bubble of 15 years ago would be a third greater today on 2% inflation. The S&P is about a third greater than its dotcom peak. The FTSE has been a dog over the last decade or so when compared to many other indices, mainly due to it's composition, with heavy mining, oil and gas components.Comment

It's a very simple one this.
If Labour win the election or form a coalition, we will see a FTSE crash, if the Tories win, I reckon it could hit 8,000 plus easily.Comment

Labour will form a coalition. But the city likes Labour. Lots more cash floating around.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostIt's a very simple one this.

Death by radiation poisoning or methane gas, that doesn't sound appealingOriginally posted by MarillionFan View PostSeems overinflated to me as well.

No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment
