                From FT.com

                FTSE 100 Index (FTSE:FSI) set a new 52-week low during today's trading session when it reached 4,327. Over this period, the share price is down 34.76%
                Ouch!

                Edit: now says " when it reached 4,245. Over this period, the share price is down 35.39%."

                How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  Doesn't matter where it bottoms, the lower the better.
                  When it does, fill yer boots.
                  Bargains to be had.
                  I am still predicting tomorrow morning for confidence, though we may have to wait for the new moon which is about the 24th I think.

                    FTSE bounced off support from August 2004 at around the 4200 level. We may retrace a bit here before continuing down.

                    Keep talking Gordon!
