Bail-ins more like. Wave goodbye to your CoCo bonds and deposits greater than the statutory protection.

Does seem like you're stuffed if you've got over £75K in any one bank. I'm not even comfortable with having lesser sums sitting about. You can stick it into NS&I and I think you've got £250K 'covered'. There's also a FCSC clause about cover for £1million for a lifetime event such as buying a house or inheritance. As far as I can tell, once you've popped you hard earned into a bank, it's not your money anymore, you just become an unsecured creditor.

More Bank bailouts on the way no doubt. Lessons have not been learned. Wonder who will get ripped off this time and how, taxpayers and savers a given, perhaps they could steal bank deposits?

Tanking again. Maybe 5000 by end of Feb was too high?

500 by the end of the year.

There is only so much flotsam and jetsam the Market Makers can spin. Sustained lowered growth depressive forces on demand and currency wars will bring the markets down.

'Peak debt' seems to be a new phrase.

More accurately put as 'peak debt fuelled demand'

Seems like the correction is underway now delayed after a couple of pre Christmas months pretending everthing is OK.

FTSE 5000 by end of Feb?

Heading my way

Six years later, and this is still relevant as ever.

So true!

I have stopped looking, four figure losses day after day is not good for my health!

Still confident that this is all just cycles, healthy dividend return reinvested (ironically at times like this when markets fall) and I can still retire at 55

Well at some stage it will double again, so there's a good opportunity after Gordon Brown steps in and saves the planet again from utter destruction by paying off all the bankers bets with public debt.

5000 by end of June.

It might be the end of Jan at this rate FTSE down 3% so far today. Panic Panic Panic

Probably a little longer, but rallies are being consistently sold now, unlike last year, so there's strong downward pressure, although perhaps more in other indices than the FTSE 100. The FTSE 100 is a dog of an index anyway with a lot of banking/commodities negativity baked in. Valuations in the FTSE 250 look far more stretched if the UK economy takes a turd.
