    3000, according to the long term, quarterly, charts. That may be in the second half of next year. The same chart shows this downswing started in the third quarter of last year and no one, so-called experts/pundits, politicians and more frighteningly, bankers, didn't see it or made any mention of it.

    This isn't, therefore, a crisis or turmoil, to use the dramatic journalistic expressions. Just part of a cycle, albeit with the added ingredients of a bunch of incompetant bankers and politicians.

    FTSE bounced off support from August 2004 at around the 4200 level. We may retrace a bit here before continuing down.

    Keep talking Gordon!

    Doesn't matter where it bottoms, the lower the better.
    When it does, fill yer boots.
    Bargains to be had.
    I am still predicting tomorrow morning for confidence, though we may have to wait for the new moon which is about the 24th I think.

    From FT.com

    FTSE 100 Index (FTSE:FSI) set a new 52-week low during today's trading session when it reached 4,327. Over this period, the share price is down 34.76%
    Ouch!

    Edit: now says " when it reached 4,245. Over this period, the share price is down 35.39%."
