Good.

I'm all right because I've got a contract until March!

Good time to get into BTL then.

If it's L shaped you'll never see a capital gain exceeding inflation in your lifetime.

I think we are in for a ¿ shaped Recession. Basically none of us have a real clue what's going to happen!!

I understand where sasgurus getting his ideas from but I think it's probably more likely a W-shape; the "green shoots" are the (small) upswing from the first dip followed by a massive dive into the second, deeper recessionary period.

I think the recession is O shaped.

And has 15 dimensions.

We should devote what remains of our economy to invest in time-travel technology so that we can go back and stop nuLieBore from winning the election in ’97.
