Black Monday

I was wondering why no support calls at ClientCo - they are all too busy jumping out of windows...

PS I do know that there are no documentated cases of stockbrokers jumping out of windows.

What about getting a gig with an undertaker or the HMRC? They're not about to suffer a downturn.

They're not about to suffer a downturn.

Oh they are, big time...

Oh they are, big time...

But if everyone is jumping out of windows, then business should boom - more death duties, inheritance tax, more coffins etc.

The markets closed at the lows: FTSE down 5.5% and DAX down 7%.

The market is pricing in a Recession.

Expect a downturn in the IT contract market come April..

I think this time sentiment and economic fundamentals are in agreement.

Got to be cool on Wall St -when you're index is low
AJP aint got time for the Bums
They wind up - on Skid Row
They plead with him
Alf - can you spare a dime
- But I aint got the time

You need a yen -to make a mark
If you wanna make money
You need the luck to make a buck
If you wanna be

Oh, Tony Blair
Did your money make you better?
Are you waiting for the hour
When you can screw me?

`cos youre big enough
To do the wall street shuffle
Let your money hustle

Bet youd sell your mother
You can buy another

Yesterday was no more than a blip. You will see that now I am back in the country, the markets are recovering.

My careful stewardship over the past ten years, building fundamental stability into the UK economy, has ensured that there will be no more boom and bust here, unlike over the previous 18 years.

But we all need to be prudent.
