Life according to John Burbank of Passport Capital.....

"we are on the precipice of a liquidation in emerging markets like the fourth quarter of 1997," Fed will eventually be forced into a fourth round of quantitative easing to shore up the economy." Being among 2015's best performing hedge funds, successfully navigating this turmoiling unwind of the Fed's efforts to "mean-revert" the world's assets back to normal, Burbank concludes, "nothing's safe," no matter what The Fed does, "the liquidity of everything is being taken down.".....

pal44, I think you are probably right, unless Draghi overcomes German resistance and signals an intention to get the World's second largest market back to work!

11% are currently unemployed.

I am right to say all indications are that we may not have a Santa rally this year Leeds.

[leedskier] 28/9/2015 10:31

This is a very dangerous market.

[begorrah88] 28/9/2015 10:15

Who fell for that 'trick' early on of the FTSE and banks pushing up from their opening lows?

I bet the hedgies laughed at us all before they put the machines on.

[leedskier] 28/9/2015 09:56

GLEN down some 15%!

The second half was a disaster for England ... as so often seen before it was a lack of discipline which let the team down.

CityAM reports ...


Investors in the City will be keeping an eye on John McDonnell as Labour’s shadow chancellor is expected to use his first Labour conference speech today to propose a Robin Hood tax on stock market trading unlikely to be popular with business.



.....



If the English and Welsh voters elect the Corbyn team as the next Government, taxes on share trading will be the least of the City's concerns!

Late start today ;


As expected after the fall in NY on Friday, more volatility today as September plays out.

Will October be any different?

AV you write from your personal knowledge?

The financial regulator is in discussions today to impose time limit on claims for mis-sold 'payment protection insurance' – which has prompted £21bn of payouts

'Person'

'Preston'

'Pesto'

Why not just refer to him as Robert? I'm sure he won't mind.

Still plenty of downward pressure stopping this rising more. (it would seem)

[gurunostradamus] 25/9/2015 11:58

This is a suckers rally today, don't get sucked in!

[jazza] 25/9/2015 10:55

The urban ones presumably - which is a growing (55%?) share, although, that growth is tailing off one presumes.

[leedskier] 25/9/2015 10:47

Is that all 1.357 billion of them?

Pesto's "revelations" have already been covered, at length, elsewhere.

China's investment and consumption % shares of total GDP have already turned down/up as planned.

Might be a bumpy ride (unsurprisingly) but the Chinese look like wanting to be as "happy" a set of consumers as we are..
