At what point does the value of the FTSE get "REAL", or has it, or is it not a true indication?

It is always "REAL". At any one moment it is spot on.

It's that everyone change their minds.

FFS. Anyone besides Threaded know what the hell he's on about?

I presume he thinks some right wing nut job will take a pop at Obama on the Ides of March. If so, he can expect an imminent visit from a bunch of bulky guys wearing dark glasses

After todays stats from the USA - this is possible - ie dropping to 3000.

But if it drops below the 3000 mark it will have a serious impact on the markets from a psych perspective - I think it will hover in the current 3100-3600 for a short period....

It will drop to about 3000 within the next few months and then things will start to get better.

When the forward P/E average gets to about 8.
Problem is no-one knows the forward earnings for sure.

The FTSE is the price of Doom.

Right now I think it looks excellent value.
