Call the FTSE bottom for this year

[SantaClaus]

Oh and someone will blame "Short Sellers" or Hedge funds and call to have them banned.

They are always the pantomime baddies in these scenarios.

Don't forget the algos. Nothing like a stock diving 90% of it's value, only to recover by New York close.

That's true. I forgot the HFT's. It's all their fault.

Clearly capitalism has failed and the only solution is to live in a commune with a gold-plated roof.

On the ticker, Daimler Chrysler is optimistic about sales in China, which sort of confirms this is more panic than sense.

They'll be selling lots of A class cars, wohoo!

Back to topic;

Going for 25% fall from close today so going for 4500 by year end*


*Low reached at some point between today and year end

Ok. It's a fools game guessing .... but 6800 by year end ( 31st December 2015 for the avoidance of doubt ) .

Optimistic! I've caveated mine as there will probably be a bounce from a low

Well you know .... overdone sell off .... live cat leap ..... World Peace III .... QE IV .... "They" will do what it takes to stop a crash.

Actually I don't know. Nobody does 6800 is as good a guess as 4500.

If we are talking low of the year and given that it hit a low of 5768.22 I don't think 6800 is going to be the lowest value this year...

4720 no sweat.... if "they" don't start the QE printing presses again.

We're talking about a closing value on 31st Dec 2015.

Zardov has 4500. I say 6800.

Where do you guess?
