Been switched to the early shift now then threaded?
Still, look on the bright side - you'll find loads more empty offices on your cleaning round to surf from. -

I like the use of selective statistics
"Almost two out of three analysts tracked by Bloomberg recommend that investors hold or sell Barclays stock. Ten analysts have buy ratings, eight have hold ratings and another eight recommend investors sell the stock. "
On the other hand, that means two out of three recommend buying or holding Barclays?Comment

[New labour mode]
No problem, the government can raise taxes from property appreciation (including the property owners who they help to fund) and offer to take on 50% of the debt of hard up families.

Today's Economist concurs that Gordon Brown's shared equity wheeze for "Britain's hard working families struggling to get on the housing ladder" is a thinly veiled attempt to prop up the housing market.
The government's scheme may also have a perverse outcome. By increasing demand for cheap housing, it may hold up prices at the bottom end of the market - which will presumably make houses less, rather than more, accessible to poorer people. But then perhaps the welfare of first-time buyers is not the government's only concern: maybe behind the hype for this scheme lies a desire to prop up the housing market, for fear of what may happen to the whole economy if it crashes.Comment

Property prices must collapse
Property prices must go down fall since the economy is not really doing as well as Spin Labour would like to make out. It's just a cover up. Just a matter of time before someone someone tells the Emperor he's got no clothes on!!!
