    Yet cretin stockbrokers and market analysts still base 'their confidence' on manipulated figures from the govermin.

    I also pissed myself when the news showed them all staring at their screens, twitching and swiping bottles of water off their desk as the values turned red. It's like watching monkeys at the zoo.

    Next they'll be going home to their double-barrelled family moaning that their annual bonus is only a few million this year.

    Fact is that shares are in companies. If the company performs well the shares should go up and those who invested get a dividend or make profit by cashing in those shares.

    The whole world of speculating, shorting, and gambling, causing perfectly sound companies to lose value by these dickheads in London should be illegal. But then the public school boys and girls would have to get proper jobs as their parents don't like them lazying around the mansion getting under feet. That's why they sent them to boarding school in the first place.

    Bunch of the lot of them.

    Whatever the f*** that means.

    Perhaps it was because Blackpool won last night.

    The US economy added 117,000 jobs in July, and the unemployment rate edged down from 9.2 to 9.1%. But the decline in the unemployment rate was due to people leaving the labour force, not finding jobs; and the overall picture of the job market in the US is still terrible. Just 58.1% of the US labour force is employed – as bad as it has been since the recession.

    You only have profits when you sell stuff to realise gain - everything else is imaginary.
