There is only so much flotsam and jetsam the Market Makers can spin. Sustained lowered growth depressive forces on demand and currency wars will bring the markets down.
'Peak debt' seems to be a new phrase.
More accurately put as 'peak debt fuelled demand'Comment

More Bank bailouts on the way no doubt. Lessons have not been learned. Wonder who will get ripped off this time and how, taxpayers and savers a given, perhaps they could steal bank deposits?Comment

Bail-ins more like. Wave goodbye to your CoCo bonds and deposits greater than the statutory protection.Originally posted by ZARDOZ View PostMore Bank bailouts on the way no doubt.

Does seem like you're stuffed if you've got over £75K in any one bank. I'm not even comfortable with having lesser sums sitting about. You can stick it into NS&I and I think you've got £250K 'covered'. There's also a FCSC clause about cover for £1million for a lifetime event such as buying a house or inheritance. As far as I can tell, once you've popped you hard earned into a bank, it's not your money anymore, you just become an unsecured creditor.Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostBail-ins more like.
