Anyone watching the markets today?

Don't panic....the Irish will, after much hand wringing, agree to the IMF that will put them into poverty for a generation or two, or at least until they've paid off the 80 billion (isn't that a million per head?), and we get to keep our stock portfolios intact.

If they default or leave the Euro that'll put everyone else in the "poo" as well. Will probably trigger a mass European bankruptcy

BoI shares 23% down today, is it worth a punt (sic) on Irish Bank shares?

If Ireland had a population of 80000, you would be correct.

Sounds about right.

I wonder if we'll see another crash by the time we get to Portugal, Spain, Italy,
Greece MkII, and Ireland MkII ..

I like the way Labour committed the UK to help pay for eurozone bail-outs just as they were leaving office.

Or rather I don't like it at all.

I was reading that Darling phoned Osborne to ask what he though of this just before he signed it, Osborne said don't commit the UK to anything, allegedly.

Did anyone see Newsnight last night, had various economists on, all where predicting Doom for the eurozone.
