    The yanks don't have Gordon & Alistair running their economy.

    And they are copying their policies now.

    What happens over the weekend... Does everyone just wait for Monday?
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    Glad I saw you here! You were asking on the other thread about setting up a practice fund and I've found somewhere you can do it ;)

    700 points down instantly but bouncing back quickly.

    However, there are rumours that global markets are going to cease trading all together. Although that was before it bounced back.
