Another terrible, terrible day DOWN -219.00 to 5521.1
BBC News: FTSE 100 @ 1:55PM
I think that people, generally, are beginning to realise we are in a real, real mess!

Nothing wrong with a sense of reality.

Over the last 18 months we've seen economic volatility return on a global scale, we had 10 years or so previous with very little. Everyone, especially investors, FTB's etc should really question things before acting, no longer can you look back over the last year and think well that trend will keep going in that direction and at that rate.
If someone said - we'll have inflation at 20% within 2 years or a 15 year deflationary period like Japan has had or house prices will be half the amount in real terms in 10 years from now - I would not be surprised.

"The fundamentals of the British economy remain sound. Inflation remains low and we have had 61 consecutive quarters of economic growth," Brown's spokesman added.

I must confess, i was not surprised by the 3/4 rate cut the other day by the fed, as i said that such an incident could happen on HPC last month.. Watching closely yesterday (Bloomberg), the commentator announced that it was rumoured, that there was going to be a coordinated response by the Fed, BoE & ECB, obviously this never materialised. Paulson, looked jittery, and following the announcement, like distempered dog, the market failed to hear the call, follow the signal.
This HPC readers, is truly historic times!!! For those of us who will to 80 without a nervous disposition will tell our grand children about this era.
Frightening yet exhilirating!
