    Is this the point where the Chinese steam in and buy up everything in sight?

    It's a lot nicer than sending a gunboat to blow the s*** out of us, like we used to do to them.


    I was wondering why the SWFs weren't buying? I guess they foresaw worse to come. Do you think they'll start now?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Not necessarily, as panic & chaos sets in, people/companies/countries start to hoard, prices will Increase!

    People need to start stocking food, petrol & other provisions for the chaos that is going to happen.

    I see it as trying to pump up a tyre, but forgetting to patch up the gaping hole of a puncture first!

    In August 2007, these were listed as the biggest ever 1 day falls in the FTSE 100:

    FTSE 100
    19 October 1987 - 10.84%
    11 Sept 2001 - 5.72%
    4 January 2000 - 3.81%
    10 August 2007 - 3.71%
    24 March 2003 - 3.05%

    Why BBC is reporting that today FTSE suffered the biggest ever fall (BBC2 on the way home)? They obviously forgot to check the details!
    Spring into Spring 2015 - 0.7/12lb

    Because the BBC News team doesn't know their bum from their elbow and frequently get this sort of thing wrong.

    It's the biggest points fall in one day, not the biggest % fall.

    Both different things.
