No idea which Wednesday, but they will rise and it will be on a Wednesday.

I agree, but I think it'll happen on a Thursday as well.

Ahem. Got the date wrong as I didn't account for the "stupid bounce" but otherwise spot on.

Good point.

The FTSE 100 is green on the BBC News page today. Was red yesterday. Will be red tomorrow....

Noticed this for months that it's up and down each day, even if only by a few points at the close of play.

If only I knew the slightest thing about spread betting.

If you are right there won't be a fall in bank stocks on Thursday. If I am right there will.

Make of that what you will.

It'll be a haircut. The tax will follow later when its discovered that the hair cut wasn't enough.

We are doomed I tell ya, doomed.
