    My prediction is therefore that you won't be working in the City before end of 2009.

    Is that specific and measureable enough for you?
    Another example of your saying the obvious since I said I want to do a degree in September.
    If you are saying that I would be forced out of the City you clearly have no clue what I do or indeed how the city works

    And managed to somehow have some money in there as of last Friday, after advising people to get it out earlier in the week, a true genius.

    I nominate myself for the Atw Award for Financial Acumen.

    Thread for atw's predictions:

    According to atw, he, solely, of all people in the world :

    1. predicted the housing crash
    2. figured out that Iceland was a gigantic hedge fund.

    So let us have his "wisdom" on record.

    atw, why don't you predict something specific and measurable that will happen in the next 6 months and we can test you?
    I know it will be hard, but do try and avoid the obvious. Tell us something surprising that only you with your advanced foresight could know.

    I have a lot of savings.

    Should I keep cash in a bin liner in the garage, buy gold, keep it in bank accounts or buy more BTL properties now?

    Yours,

    For some reason I am not suprised to hear this from someone working in the City!

    Either way, he is not your sockpuppet is he? Why won't you speak for yourself, you are supposed to know economics and City stuff better than me, so why can't you point out to your financial predictions that came true?

    But here's a prediction:
    SKA will not succeed in its present incarnation.

    I don't see you posting there saying Iceland banks can go bust, and I did not post there because at the time of that thread I was not posting.

    WTF were you trying to prove with your bogus link?

    Incidentally the Iceland situation has been known about for years - it was no secret and didn't require your 36 hours pass module in economics to figure out
