I got sent this. I'm not sure if it's complete horse tulip or not.

The only difference I can see is that Astrologists actually get it right some of the time, even if only for a certain amount of people.

Economists can claim neither.

Unless they make enough predictions and then just remember the ones they got right.............

It seems to me the only difference between economics and astrology is that astrology can claim a weak connection to being rooted in a science.

Economists are very very divided at the moment. Half think like you and half think like me.

Amusingly Roger Bootle in the Telegraph thinks that interest rates will stay where they are for 5 years. But that size of government debt is no worry.

I don't pay a lot of attention to Bootle. At the Telegraph a better read is Tom Stevenson, admittedly a more bullish kind of bloke, but I suppose that point of view suits my own agenda better. However, on balance, I think Stevenson is
is the more sensible hack out of those two.

The banks will be recruiting strongly. Rates sem to be going up, after quite a few adverts for 350, I´m seeing more higher offers now 500-600, even saw one for 750, even if it´s fishing it´s still higher than previous fishing adverts. Had an email from a recruiter (permie) who said that many banks are getting ready for a big recruitment drive....starting mid January

This is it guys....the recovery starts tomorrow.

By the way if you want a permie job in a bank, now is the time, because most are sitting tight waiting for their bonus.

Calm before the REAL storm...

I think the banks will be in trouble when government backing is withdrawn.

We're in the phoney war at the moment. Structurally the economy is in deep, deep sh*t.

I am rather flatulent this afternoon.

Do you know what? I was a bit too.

Not particularly smelly, but noisy enough to establish my authority around the house.

[HairyArsedBloke]

Seems like a lot of jobs are out there in the banking world..

Personally I still thnk that banks are going to make a lot of write downs and that housing is going to be a problem

What do the more experienced bunch on here think is likely to happen??

If we knew that we'd be astronomers.

Some random tulip.

As usual there'll be a few people who manage to make money out of pretending they understand things, mainly by relying on other people not grasping that what happened in the past is no indicator of what will happen in the future.

Then some random thing will happen, the whole shebang will go tits-up, everybody will wring their hands wondering how this could have been allowed to happen, and the whole ridiculous merry-go-round will start up again.
