bubbleturbo Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) So many people will get sooo badly burnt when the rates go up and at the moment, the UK press seem to be in total denial about it. People are so foolish. They thought that interest rates would always stay around 3 - 4 % and have geared up based on this. If the fed continue to raise their rates into next year, which looks likely, it will all suddenly hit and most people on the streets will look punch drunk for months. Gordon Brown will not be able to do anything but raise rates if this goes the way it looks like it will. We are a minnow compared to the US. We followed them down with our rates, had the party - now comes the payback. Edited October 24, 2005 by BubbleTurbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
