        September / October

        That's my guess and what I'm preparing for.

          Seems overinflated to me as well. Only a few months ago we were looking at a EURO collapse. We still have a good war with Russia to go yet, so I've decided to buy a Nuclear Bunker and fill it with Tescos Own Brand Beans just in case.
          What happens in General, stays in General.
          You know what they say about assumptions!

            A bubble of 15 years ago would be a third greater today on 2% inflation. The S&P is about a third greater than its dotcom peak. The FTSE has been a dog over the last decade or so when compared to many other indices, mainly due to it's composition, with heavy mining, oil and gas components.

              It's a very simple one this.

              If Labour win the election or form a coalition, we will see a FTSE crash, if the Tories win, I reckon it could hit 8,000 plus easily.

                There's a GE this year?
                Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                  So buy Tescos shares then?

                  Labour will form a coalition. But the city likes Labour. Lots more cash floating around.

                    Death by radiation poisoning or methane gas, that doesn't sound appealing
                    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
