FTSE currently down 4.5% on the day according to the BBC site. That followed the DOW closing slightly lower yesterday.

Hmm, will they recover when the DOW opens or are we back to big drops only two days after a huge rescue package?

Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.

Mmmmm, looks like Gordon should have had that election in the last 2 days, that was is window of opportunity:D. I mean, I knew the guy was a short term showman.... but even I was expecting his great idea to last longer than this.0

I think that this is down to recession fears, as banks in general have not dropped much today if at all.

I doubt it as the DOW futures are down 2.3% at the moment0 -
Don't forget 4.5% down from 4500 (-202.5) is more than 4.5% up from 4000 (+180)
So using percentages over such a short space of time is pretty meaningless...0 -

what didn't last long? did you expect the FTSE to rise and rise each day? i hoped that you were bright enough to know that this wasn't going to be the case.
with US economic numbers coming out today it was always going to be a volatile day, just like days when retail numbers will be published here in the UK.
mining equities have been taking a hammering today which have been key in moving the FTSE down.
!!!!!!, if the FTSE moves up tomorrow will you be starting a new thread?0 -
It's the Libor rate that will be the test for Gordon's scheme.
At the moment it is falling (good thing).

Why yes, that's exactly what I thought. :rolleyes2
To be back in ~5% fall territory a mere two days after the biggest bailout in history doesn't bode well. But then over the last couple of weeks, huge daily falls have become normal. Hey ho, maybe it can pull it back in the next couple of hours.
And calm down - you appear to be about to chuck a mental again.--

then you're having a very delusional day and don't understand the mechanics of the stock markets.
i'm always calm - look at this face
as i sad to you yesterday - please stay on topic, if you have anything to say off topic please PM me.0 -
Im hoping its just settlement - people selling on the recent rise. Lets just pray it is anyway.0

Well looks to me like 2 days rises have been wiped out near enough... Roller coaster ride!0
