Cameron Laughs With Boris And Osborne At Davos Dinner On Eve Of Dire GDP Figures

Now i'm no fan of Dave and George, but the fact they have a dinner is hardly news, the guy who took the pics works for greenpeace - might as well ask how he can look himself in the mirror eating out when all the whales are being killed off!

Actually if you really have got to retirement then you’ve done well; we’ve got a guy at the company I’m working for who’s doing a lot of work on statistics and ‘big data’; he’s convinced that in the next 10 years people with some statistics education can earn wheelbarrows full of money.

Aye, he's right. That's why I'm back out of retirement

It will kill bad investments and free up resources for good (productive) investments.

I think I wasn't clear enough.

If we borrow at such low percentages like 1% - then as soon as any kind of normality is resumed, just a 1% increase could result in DOUBLE the repayment right?

Whilst if we are being sensible and working on 3.5% to 5% and the rate jumped 1% it would be a hit, but not a total emergency.

Perhaps I'm being daft...... Unfortunately I think the treasury is.

"The market always normalises. "

Sorry last one, but WHAT?

Which "Market" Always normalises? We've only been running multinational corporate economics for the past 30 years - do you seriously believe the market from pre 1940 has anything to go off? We are a long way away from the commodities markets during imperialism you numpty.

What you're basically saying is "It always normalises, it hasnt changed in the last 70 years has it?" (when in fact it has too).


anyhoo.... back to work I suppose Happy new year everyone !.

Scoobos your tenacity is matched only by your idiocity.

You're a nice person, but maybe just don't comment in the future ok.

Or at least get within 100 miles of the right end of the stick.

Give it some explanation then?

As we've said before at least I have a qualification in economics , if you believe that I am 100 miles away then explain how.

No, he'll get an explanation involving 'market equilibrium' and fractional reserve banking; it's the kind of conversation that's reputed to make a girl's knickers turn moist at 50 paces.

[Scoobos]

Am I being really stupid?
