    Folks

    For many months Ive been warning that the credit crunch starts when banks stop lending to other banks.

    From todays FT -

    Barometers of financial stress hit record peaks across the world. Yields on short-term US Treasuries hit their lowest level since the London Blitz, while gold had its biggest one-day gain ever in dollar terms. Lending between banks, in effect, stopped.

    My advice - insure now with Prudential - oh gosh they've gone pear shaped as well ???

      Good question! I guess its the sovereign funds? Probably Arab and Chinese?

      Soon USA is going to be owned by them - what will happen then? A massive shift of power?
      already owned by them arent they? As are the UK i would hazard a guess
