The FTSE 100 index of leading shares has enjoyed the best three months in its 25-year history.
The index, which has just closed at 5133.9 points, gained 21% between July and September.
Its next best performance was in the last three months of 1999, while the market was enjoying the dotcom boom, when it rose 14.9%.
Shares have risen in recent months as the world economy has begun its climb out of recession, cheering investors.
Well done Gordon. I hope the voters appreciate what you have done for the global economy. And for speculators with cash fresh off the printing press.
