Sounds gloomy, but how different are these headlines from the ones you'd see in BOOM times?

And don't call me shortly.

Dow is up today (early close and shut tomorrow). However, the point where it became a bear market at around 11330 is now resistance level.

Err

House prices double overnight
Unemployment falls 15% in May to 324
Stock markets make massive gains again today
IT rates top £2000/day for trainee admins

Something like that?

Who cares we have the New Labour miracle economy where, because of the actions of the greatest ever chancellor for the past 10 years, we will be protected from all the worlds ills due to a combination of low inflation, unicorn eye lashes, low wage increases, fairy farts and good old fashioned British resolve to teach Johnny Foreigner a damn good lesson when it comes to running a superior hat stand tomfoolery economy. Snaark!

You're selecting bad headlines from the doom times and good ones from the boom times though. There are usually less of the latter but there were probably some good headlines today, e.g. rise in debt collecting agency profits, etc.

This is great news.

If they stop building so many new houses the value of mine will kepp going up for ever.

If the Americans have no jobs they'll have to turn to lower paid jobs. Then I can buy my GAP T-shirts knowing that they were not made in Asian seat shops, but in American ones! Guilt free at last.

Sockpuppet will have more time to spend here.

Cheap cars for all

Fill yer pockets.

Boomed!

I used to be scared of all the doom. Then it dawned upon me that there's flip all I can do about it, and if the gig gets canned then the gig gets canned. Bring on your worst doom
