Unexpected Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Quite interesting. Hadnt heard that theory before. Theorys like this make life more complicated for me. Thats another one I have to take on board and protect myself against. Out of cash and into stocks? Hmm.... Dont know about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malco Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Not sure about this one either. I see gold as a better bet than stocks, due to oil depletion issues, although I'll keep an eye on stocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Businesses will come back big time, and that money largely flows into information technology." Now perhaps I have misunderstood but there seems to be an assumption that all the money invested in property will just switch across to the stock market. Now if that happened it really would cause an almighty bubble but it won't happen because most people have very little equity in the property market and getting your equity out of that market by selling is not easy right now. This guy seems to be ignoring the personal debt situation that will prevent large numbers of people investing in shares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
