All my shares down 40%

Yet people here are still in the 'old way of thinking ' eg property prices will go up - the market will bounce back etc

They will - question is when. May take 10-15 years.

The Japaneese Stock Market is still down 80% from its all time high made in 1990. And that is in nominal terms without taking into account inflation.

Even in the UK and US during past crashes like 1974 and 1929, it took decades for the market to get back to the all time highs when inflation was taken into account.

So if you are above a certain age (ie 50) then the market doesnt always come back, atleast not in your lifetime.

Which version?

Among some traditions, the Bible includes apocryphal books that were not accepted into the Tanakh. Eastern Orthodox Churches use all of the books that were incorporated into the Septuagint, to which they add the earliest Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible; Roman Catholics include some of these books in their canon; and many Protestant Bibles follow the Jewish canon, excluding the additional books.

Yep, Adam's first piece of totty before Eve has been removed from most.

The Miss Deuteronomy centrefold is another valuable missing part of the Bible that the Vatican cruelly keeps under lock & key. Bah!
