Think that was fully expected though.People making a quick few quid on the back of the news about (desperate)Fed Cuts

Funny thing is,for all the huge cash injections both sidea of the pond,the emergency measures such as slashing interest rates....its not helping.

Just makes savvy investors think 'uh oh,there is something to worry about'

Just thought I'd check back in on this thread as today the market is at 6250 - Oh look -no doom and destruction, just as predicted by the sane people.

Wheres the headline of £150bn added to the market?

Stocks do look surprisingly highly priced considering the current economic situation and outlook.

In for a fell of over 250points on the FTSE I reckon.
So will your house price crash be as big as the stock market crash then Pete?

Different kettle of fish! I'm amazed the FTSE has recovered to 6200 odd! But I'm pretty happy as I hold quite a few shares, so am worth a fair bit more on paper as a result

Do you not care how much of a dick you look making basic mistakes like this? especially as you are obviously fairly intelligent considering you are talking about shares. Allow me to correct your basic tense mistake for you.

£1,500,240,100,000 approx is the market cap of the FTSE100 (source: FTSE Group Data Aug 07)

6256 approx points at the moment

so very roughly each point is worth £239.8million

I know its an old thread but its certainly lost a hell of a lot since and an awful lot today.

I thought it was creeping back since the start of 2009

The data out of America earlier today was cataclysmically bad. The Western world is all but imploding. Who knows where it will all end but we haven't seen the end of the blood on the carpet just yet.

Its the stock market of the great depression all over again.

Market falls, people loose fortunes.
Market recovers and the clever investors jump in, at the bottom, ready to make their fortunes.
Market crashes again. Clever investors wiped out as well.
Another cycle of that came and went as well, just to really pi$$ people off!

You know it is widely accepted by professors of logic that if you give a monkey a typewriter and leave said monkey long enough the monkey will eventually produce the works of Shakespeare. Not because the monkey is intelligent enough to produce the works of Shakespeare, but simply by the laws of probability.

Now.....

Bullsh!t. Professors of logic (whoever the **** they are) assume an infinite amount of time whereas pete95 has called it within a few years. Crappy argument.

Although you may need infinite time, probability also indicates that the works of Shakespeare could be produced in Infinity - 1 (i.e. in a very long time) or Infinity - (Infinity -1) (i.e. tomorrow).

The probability of the two being equal. Maybe Pete95 just got lucky in this time frame
