Oh dear: FTSE under 6000

[GreenerGrass]

Opened 122 points down. Its carnage out there, the sky is falling in, we're all doomed.

Miners/'Natural Resources' were already down about 20% in a month, could be worth picking up a few bargains today unless the end of capitalism is nigh.

Doomed!

Doomed I tells yer!

there are not many people who did not lose money on the dot coms not so many years ago

these losses are not distant memories but painfully held in most people's heads

therefore these days, unlock before, as soon as those who were burnt for holding at the end of dot com see things going down, they know to liquidate immediately and better have something rather than nothing

therefore, the falls we are seeing at the moment, in my opinion, have the potential to really snowball

I only hope there is not a major credit crunch and recession

if anybody of higher being is reading this, please let the current situation continue until I am 40

thanks,

Milan.

Recession is long overdue... USA is slated for 2 x quarters of zero growth ( with inflation does that equate to a negative?)

Still Brown promised no return to boom 'n bust

The USA is doomed, only the BRIC countries can save us now!

Still Brown promised no return to boom 'n bust

That was under a previous leader and so is now inadmissable. Surely he can't be held responsible for the failings of previous leaderships, that just wouldn't be 'fair'?

[Methuselah]

Ha! Latin America down 10%, China 8%. Ouch.

hands up if you love the AU

further to what I said above, I think those who were burn't last time, know, this time, as soon as the tide turns to liquidate and get out and not dream that it's just a correction and prices will come back

Milan.
