    TOMTOMAGAIN === 6800
    SantaClaus === 4720
    eek === 6200
    PurpleGorilla === 3250
    DimPrawn === 6200


    If anybody would like to either amend their guess or post an guess then please do and I'll add them to the list.

    Still more doom to come yet. Think my prediction is still safe

    From Telegraph article

    Mike McCudden, of Interactive Investor, said: “Commodities are on the rise as confidence appears to be returning and investors have switched back to 'risk-on' mode.

    “However, the underlying story behind these moves is fear of more turmoil from the Asian markets and investors are taking the gamble that China's problems have dissipated.”


    Heads in the sand!
