          Are we not just going to talk ourselves into a recession and make this a self fulfilling prophecy...?

            When interest rates hit zero and economy still does not respond. I reckon 2010.

            As I have said repeatedly, it is the disparity between rich and poor that ultimately causes this.

              I want this to be a total financial wipeout. I have cash and gold and will clean up. Bring it on!!!

                There's something quite satisfying about getting slagged off for being 'witty' by Atw and DP.

                Must be doing something right.

                    At least you'll be able to use the cash as loo roll. In a total financial wipeout, money is worth somewhat less than blank paper.

                      Is it safely under the floor boards !? Your mates at New Liebour will be after it otherwise when everyone else is cleaned out. The problem with holding cash is we might have hyperinflation, it looks like that is the way the yanks are tackling it.

                      I don't think we want total financial wipeout, it might be a bit scary if the masses are out on their ar*e. I don't see how the welfare state would survive a 30s style depression.
