    Seriously though, it feels to me like things are going to go titsy, but I'd rather have some insight from someone who actually knows.

    I'm flattered, but by no means an expert. I just go by technical analysis and that nothing has really changed since the crash earlier in the year. Unlike others on this forum though (ahem: sadguru), I have put my money where my mouth is

      You're dying to know what I've done, aren't you?
      Lets just say I don't have a massive overdraft like you do.
      Hard Brexit now!

            The higher the rise, the bigger the fall.
            I will adjust my position accordingly.

              But the market isn`t high, it`s low. This isn`t just a fall from the 2007 or 2008 peak, this has been part of a longer term fall for the market. When was the market this low? 2003? When everything is considered, stocks are back at mid 1990 prices.

              We may have a little hiccup soon but I reckon that`s all it`ll be, the crash has already happened and it`s over.

              All IMO of course

                How does that famous quote go? The markets can stay irrational for longer than you can stay solvent?

                  I still don't understand....

                  So if you think there is going to be a crash??....

                  Have you:

                  Sold shares and then later going to buy back at a lower rate?

                  OR

                  Effectively bet on the the shares dropping?

                  I'm baffled?

                  Its probably best I don't know as I'll want some of the action but interested... (also why is this smiley called "Freaky" when it looks more confused?)

                    Pound is up too. All green

                      Everything green?

                      That'll be the world's largest economy hitting a record deficit of 1.4 trillion dollars.
