Unfortunately politicians on all sides seem to be clueless morons. It's about time we had politicians with scientific inclinations rather than political and we get the country's health in order. Unfortunately these types aren't attracted to politics and we have a steep and painful hill to climb. Forget about the debt though, that's just money and the least of our worries.

It would help the the voters were not such complete morons.

Those who "read" the sun or daily mail should lose the vote.

this country will blow up, managed by clueless New Lie morons , with as end result the highest debt in human history...

I saw on another site that a guy purchased 100,000 pounds worth of HBOS shares at 1.70 each. They are now worth about 78p.

How are your shares Sascretin ?

Problem is a secular bear takes loooooooong time before "long" brings you significant gains...

As per the great depression...

3869 - near the 52 week low...

Will the FTSE be lower than that at the closure today?

Almost definitely. Yesterdays low was 3808.
Need to see a double-bottom on high volume before even considering going long.

Seems to be going up today. So far.

This article is quite good (timing on mega cycles) until he starts wittering on about gold.

Unless inflation is rampant just keep everything in cash (or index-linked gilts if the interest rate is under RPI) until the new bull market starts, which will roughly be when USA house prices stop dropping and foreclosures slow down.
All this "8% a year on average" seems to be based on the bull market between 1982-2000. Most IFAs don't know any different.

Finally reached my prediction around 3800. Took a bit longer than predicted.
