Thought I was going to be moving into shares for the first time in 10 years today. I just needed the SP500 index to fall 35 points lower than it did for my strategy to trigger a switch of 50% of my funds from property to shares.

Oh well, it may still happen.

That's one of the great things about being poor. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

unless you are in the USA when you could move to underclass...

Why should I give a fsck? I don't have a mortgage. I don't hold any shares. I don't have a pension. The markets can go through the floor for all I care.

Yesterday was no more than a blip. You will see that now I am back in the country, the markets are recovering.

My careful stewardship over the past ten years, building fundamental stability into the UK economy, has ensured that there will be no more boom and bust here, unlike over the previous 18 years.

What I said.

But we all need to be prudent.

Got to be cool on Wall St -when you're index is low
AJP aint got time for the Bums
They wind up - on Skid Row
They plead with him
Alf - can you spare a dime
- But I aint got the time

You need a yen -to make a mark
If you wanna make money
You need the luck to make a buck
If you wanna be

Oh, Tony Blair
Did your money make you better?
Are you waiting for the hour
When you can screw me?

`cos youre big enough
To do the wall street shuffle
Let your money hustle

Bet youd sell your mother
You can buy another

I think this time sentiment and economic fundamentals are in agreement.

[sli_gryn]

The markets closed at the lows: FTSE down 5.5% and DAX down 7%.

The market is pricing in a Recession.

Expect a downturn in the IT contract market come April..

But if everyone is jumping out of windows, then business should boom - more death duties, inheritance tax, more coffins etc.
