Dude, give me a trillion dollar bailout and I'll show you a good time for a few months as well. It's easy to reinflate a credit bubble with a few freshly printed billions.

Trouble is, then this credit bubble bursts, it will be like nothing on earth ever seen before.

Rightmove and Nationwide both showing gains.

Come on, where's the economic collapse, next failed state etc?

Nothing can stop New Labour now.

I remain convinced that, whilst we might be seeing green shoots, these are not the green shoots one would expect at the end of a full-blown recession (that we're still in).

Unemployment continues to rise, house prices are at best flat and CPI is volatile.

Beginning of the end? No, perhaps - at best - the end of the beginning.

The initial panicking is over.

But the economic sh!te is not.

Exactly. Average salaries around £600K pa.

All we need at that salary is lenders to do 8x salary at 125% LTV again and we're all laughing. Bedsits for everyone!

Come on Gordon, call the election, I want to stick an X on the ballot paper and secure Labour another victory.

seems to be the same story everywhere

but the losses still remain, and they are not being accomodated
by recessions, collapse, job losses etc...

then I can only conclude, they will be compensated by inflation

yes, in the global financial crisis the majority might have kept their jobs,
but on the otherside, we might end up paying by inflation

time to get into tangibles
