Big problem we usually have is calling the time to sell, though.

This is all becoming terribly bothersome. Can economists and investors not put their supposed expertise into agreeing on a solution to all this instead of just shouting DOOM all the time?And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Gonzo turned up to lecture number three of his second year economics course which the lecturer started by stating
Over the next three weeks I will be talking to you about how the international currency markets work. Of course, if I really knew how the international currency markets work I wouldn't be here talking to you, I'd be making my living trading the international currency markets.
It was probably a short sighted decision but on the plus side, I find the events that are going on in the UK at the moment really interesting.Comment

Gonzo resigned from the Economics department after that lecture and sought refuge in the Politics department.

I'm with Blaster Bates, oh and I love a good crash.
We could see a correction but I doubt we'll see a crash. Nothing IMO in the short term will be able to shock and cause panic like 2008 did, and I doubt we'll see a 'crash' as you all call it. As I've said before, the crash has already happened and it's over. DOn't let the emotions of hating the missed opportunity make you miss out on what could be the mother of all bull markets.
If the conservative get in, we could see a nice rally, even if the fundamentals don't necessarily support it. Without doing my research, hasn't the stock market seen better times under a conservative government?Comment

Trading is easy
..... making money out of it consistently and constantly is the difficult bit.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.

Conservatives get in, raise interest rates. Then it will start.Comment

A return of a Labour government will mean that there will be a huge risk premium on UK debt. Effective interest rates will be a LOT higher under Labour.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.
