Friday sell off, bet next week they hit 8%, the market doesn't move in straight lines

Highly unlikely. A sell off results in prices going down and yields going up.

Yeh, the Snot Goblin has a great record for accurate prediction, not. Didn't he reckon the banking crisis would be over in months?

Always thought Darling fairly sane though, white hair and jet black eyebrows are a sure sign of genius.

There was a reason why Brown was not recommended for a top job at the IMF by the new government, against convention. And that is because everyone knew he'd f*** it up.

"He urged Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president and current G20 chairman, to draw up a “global growth agreement” with major powers such as China."

What the f*** is this "global growth agreement"?

love the comments:

yep, liked this one;

Gordon Brown goes on a state visit to Israel. While he is on a tour of Jerusalem he suffers a heart attack and passes away. The undertaker tells the British diplomats accompanying him,
“You can have him shipped home for £5,000,000, or you can
bury him here, in the Holy Land, for just £100.”

The British Diplomats go into a corner and discuss for a minute. They come back to the undertaker and tell him they want Gordon shipped home.

The undertaker is puzzled and asks,
“Why would you spend £5,000,000 to ship him home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only £100?
With the money you save you could help pay back some of the deficit, help pay for the Olympic Games or help the elderly”.


The British Diplomats replied,
“Long ago a man died here, was buried here and three days later he rose from the dead.
We just can't take the risk.”
