The FTSE is the price of Doom.

Right now I think it looks excellent value.

Don't buy the FTSE, buy into sectors.

Sectors - what will be in demand when the economy picks up?

Natural resources. Priced very well at the moment also.

When the forward P/E average gets to about 8.
Problem is no-one knows the forward earnings for sure.

Currently tracking around 3500
Will presumably go lower.

At what point does the value of the FTSE get "REAL", or has it, or is it not a true indication?

It will drop to about 3000 within the next few months and then things will start to get better.

After todays stats from the USA - this is possible - ie dropping to 3000.

But if it drops below the 3000 mark it will have a serious impact on the markets from a psych perspective - I think it will hover in the current 3100-3600 for a short period....
