TheCountOfNowhere Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018  Not the 1st time we've seen this.  Is this what happens when you run a country off QE and low IRs.  The bankers should have been arrested enmass in 2008...who knows where this madness is going to end.

Working backwards and basing it on 1984 (1000) I would have thought. Would probably have been a 100 tracking index in existence to make that easy. But yep  pre 84 only the FT30 was ever quoted.

Most of the shares will have existed so making a valuation of those shares as an index should be a fairly simple process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashmonitor Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Well we got there in the end. Reassuringly we are sub 30th December 1999 on the FTSE 100 whence a 6930.5 marker was set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamoMucci Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 I make a post saying we are done, I look away for a couple of days, and we are in the low 24ks. I am going to do that more often.

crashmonitor Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Perhaps we can get a reset on some other stuff back to 99. Houses were under 100k, and have since grown 183%. Gold has gone nearly 400% from $290. Edited March 22, 2018 by crashmonitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wealth is relative not absolute so most of us are getting our assets trimmed and it doesn't make that much difference. It will go up again. I guess if you are in a defined State retirement scheme it makes no difference at all and those with cash deposits will probably be breathing a sigh of relief.

Can see that now, just that thinking seems to be a contributor to the only thing worth investing in is property meme (not you obviously!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
