    Finally Europe is unravelling

    Greek PM puts confidence vote for Friday.
    Greek PM puts EU bailout to the polls (for sometime in January)
    MF goes bust (not our MF thankfully)
    Shares plummet for the second day in a row.

    The tulip is really hitting the fan (as predicted by yours truly ) and I trawled the board finding no posts about this from our resident experts?

    Are we all bored of this financial doom and gloom? Shirley not.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

    "Plummet"? 2.5% in one day is a "Plummet"? Bollocks bullsh!t tit w4nk! The market is being manipulated for short-term gain and it's being talked up and down.

    25% in one day and we have a problem.

      Market observers have long noted that increasing volatility presages market crashes. If you glance at a chart of September-October 1929, just before the crash that started the Great Depression, you will note the same sort of manic swings of euphoria and fear that have characterized the U.S. stock market over the past few months. Not only are the swings increasing in amplitude, the time between each move up or down is decreasing. Think of a series of wind storms that grow increasingly more violent even as the time between storms diminishes.

            Perhaps you could explain yourself. If you can drag yourself away from your onerous teaching duties, that is.
            Hard Brexit now!

              Not really collapsed. How the feck it got to 5717 the other day I do not know! Barclays hit 220 at one point on Monday, now back to 171. I have an average of 173. On Monday I was like 'how the feck am I up £1000's in a week on hot air'. Today I'm like 'Bollocks should have sold'

              Pure bollocks. Que sera sera.
              What happens in General, stays in General.
              You know what they say about assumptions!

                Try trawling the usenet group soc.culture.british for posts in the 1990s and you'll find plenty from me predicting it, with passionate rebuttals from fanatical Europhiliacs.

                I bet most of them are having second thoughts now, especially several of my German sparring partners at the time.

                I got bored with usenet shortly after that, as it became overrun with spam, lunatics, and mirthless trolls.

                    I hate to agree with the a hound that has no respect for personal hygiene but he's got a point.
