FTSE in freefall - in the 3000s now!

[thunderlizard]

shares eh?

I lost more money during the journey into work today than I'll earn this month.

Still, the Lord moves in mysterious ways and the sun is shining

I recommend against jumping in front of a train since it screws up so many other people, particulalry the driver.

I think your best bet is the old hose from the exhaust pipe into the car with the engine running?

Nah, a bridge off the M4 would be a better bet. The PM and convoy are on their way back from Swindon....

[Old Greg]

Anyone else tempted to get the chequebook out on the weekend and buy the FTSE?

What makes you think that anyone would accept a cheque with all these banks going bust?

Anyway, by the end of next week you'll be able to buy the whole lot for about 5 gold pieces.

I see Lakshmi Mittal has lost 21.4 Billion on paper recently. At least that might help to put the mockers on QPR's ambitions.

They're not necessarily panic sellers. I saw a list of UK companies that the Icelandics are invested in and it is quite extraordinary and big percentages. These businessmen are now being forced to sell due to circumstances at home, just to liquidate assets to pay debts. Such companies include Woolworths and Debenhams, House of Fraser, Hamleys and of course West Ham FC.
