Yep, also according to the Times Online, Alan Greenspan had apparently stated the US economy ‘could’ be headed for a recession at the end of ’07. I thought it could be a black Tuesday but it looked like it bounced.

am I right in thinking that these private equity firms fund the labour party? They really have made a mess havent they
bingo says:
Some of them are donors, probably looking for honours… But it helps to fund the party in power to limit the number of awkward questions being raised about taxes, job cuts, foreign ownership, accounting irregularities, workers rights etc. etc. You just have to read up on the Debenhams ‘scandal’ to get a good insight into the shady world of the Private Equity Fund.

A decent summary here: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/399a04c8-c643-11db-be1a-000b5df10621.html
I think, considering that Mr Greenspan is king positive, the admission of a “might” suggests big time trouble ahead.
