    A nice enough article, but it only echoes what we're all thinking. Sadguru et al seem to think that a correction to march levels is the most likely outcome, but I fear it could be much much worse.

    Investors would run for the hills at the sight of any such correction, and having been bitten once would recoil still further. As the banks have been healing their balance sheets rather than passing savings on to savers people are still suffering from increased fuel costs and taxation, with low interest rates hampering their saving efforts.

    So all in all, the "searing financial pain" that Bilderberg promised us earlier this year is coming to fruition.

    Global financial reset anyone?
    I agree with SG. I dont buy into the meltdown stuff. I am still going for a fall of 8% in output (top to bottom) and so avoiding depression.

          Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              Looks to me like the Dow (and thus the FTSE) are topping out.

              But, even if it goes higher first, the beauty of options is there is no stoploss

                  I'm glad I don't have to print pages like this and this, as I'd soon run out of red ink.
