    Seem's to be the norm these day's. If a word end's in an s, add an apostrophe, just in case.

    Have a look at the logo on the top left corner of every page - the one that says "The IT Contractor Portal"

    Non-IT types are still welcome in TPD, however

    Look at today. Today is the beginning.

    The world is printing trillions $$ and ££.


    Nice mix coming up. Wage deflation, unemployment and inflation of prices.
    .

    The Retail Prices Index (RPI), which includes housing costs, fell to 0% in February on an annual basis from 0.1% in January.


    Told you!

    Then I realised that I'm not in the 1920's, and that this is modern day.

    And the the same statement applies, except for 1 word.

    Then I had visions of bankers in Roll's Royce's (Al Capone's favourite car), roaring up and down Wall Street, shooting innocent passers-by.

    plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

    The M4 delivers anybody to Reading. So which pipe delivers your turds ?

    M4 is moving quite freely so that's a good sign.

    M0 is high, M1 and M2 are rock bottom. When M0 starts flowing into M1 and M2 you'll get inflation. So not till next year.
    I read a good piece recently on why, contrary to received wisdom, broad money increase/decrease actually precedes narrow money.

    Most people think that due to the money-multiplier effect, M4/M3 is affected by M0 changes, i.e. the dog wags the tail.

    This article argued it's really the tail that wags the dog.

    I'll try to dig it out.
