Styumpie Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I agree, this has been brewing since 2002, The IMF has given the UK government countless warnings which Gordon Brugabi chose to blatantly ignore. Having followed economics for the past few years, the more you look into it, the worse it gets, the outlook is bleak at best As for investing, well for me it's Cash in NS&I and some of the safer banks, and 20% in physical metal. No shares, but if I was going into shares again I'd go for Agri and renewables, if the bailouts continue, then inflation might become a massive threat for holding £, Investment in yourself/self sufficiency is a winner too.

KOYAANISQATSI Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Why not ask the Rothschilds & Co to get the Federal Reserve Banks to bail out the world economy with 50 squillion dollars.Change the world currency to the Amero.To help prevent loss of personal information disks and pound coin forgery; we can make it digital money with a veri chip implant. That should sort this mess out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing amero, thats an american car? what we need are barcodes tattooed on our fore heads, so the shop keeper can scan the forehead, an easy and convenient transaction when buying the packet o oatcakes and pint a milk, much quicker than rummaging around for change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trout Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 [...] the worse it gets, the outlook is bleak at best Indeed, yes, this does appear to be the case. The sticky plaster you've seen applied there last week here in the UK will unfurl! The system it is trying to shore up is now in reflux and can in no way stabalise unless the Bank of England shore it up well beyond the January 2009 deadline they have stated. What we have here is a lesson "un"-learnt and money markets trying desperately to continue blindly forward - to keep the "good 'ol days" rumbling and the gravy train flowing! Metals as you state is a good safe bet (especially in coins) - ensure no more as 35k (backed by the FSA) per person is kept in a bank - government backed bonds - your "own" house - land ... all the turd your great-great-great grandad would have invested in! Stocks/Shares - well they can go either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
