Did you make any money?

Not in the market at the moment – it’s a bit silly out there so I’m taking the opportunity to concentrate on the next phase of my business development.

Down nearly 800 points one day up nearly 500 the next.

Ya gotta laugh.

Yeah, very glad I didn't bet on more doom as I suggested yesterday evening. Madness (and not the musical variety!).

George Bush sees the tax payer as a nice little bonus payer for his mates.

-see the Iraq 'rebuilding' contracts

In fairness to Bush (my god, what am I saying? ), he did give the taxpayer a nice "bonus" to try and get the economy going. Anyone see Gordy with his hand in his pocket??

No no, instead we get free nursery places for 2 year olds. Brilliant.

Better order "Learn Chinese in 21 Days You Dummies" off Amazon quick sharp. Just enough time before Asia declares the west their new gimp in the cellar.

I expect the yanks will try to fight their way out of it.

Genius. Gimps in China's cellar - all of us!

It's ok, Gordon Brown is 'monitoring the situation very closely'.

Still, I've seen worse.

Bloomberg are saying that the amount wiped off shares was about 50% larger than the size of the bail-out package.
