    Prediction Thread

    Ok, we have several on here (some more vocal than others) about what is right or wrong in the world of finance, so,

    This thread is the single place where you put forward your prediction on what will happen financially in the eurozone in the short to medium term future (say tomorrow - 2 years timescale)

    The only rule is before you slate anyone else's prediction you must first put forward your own prediciton.

    All opinions are valid and we'll see how good you all are in the upcoming future. I look forward to reading your proposals.

      Ok, I'll start:

      1) Greece defaults before christmas
      2) Bond prices rise in Italy and Spain and one if not both will default late 2012
      3) this will cause a domino effect on banks around the world continuing the global recession for several years to come (I'm thinking 8-10) so that living in a recession and higher and higher tax rates become the norm
      4) several European banks go bust and several more consoidate
      5) Germany and France's economy takes a severe beating raising taxes in both countries
      6) more social unrest occurs and agreements are made europe wide to strengthen banking reserves and banking adopts a far more cautious lending strategy to all customers
