I could be completely wrong, but happy to have an educated guess

Tim Nicholas :

House Prices - Bottom out Mid 2010, slow rise
Unemployment - To hit 3.5 million by early 2010

Unless he can find a way of declaring himself Prime Minister for Life, the latest time for a General Election is June 2010.

I predict that the rate of generation of prediction threads will remain constant until approximately 18 July 2011. At that point the rate will decrease roughly in line with the half-life of Carbon-14, until a minimum background level of 1 a week is reached sometime around the year 4000.

Sorry too much to be one line cutnpaste.


July is where my level is predicted.The ftse levels , levelled at 4400 is the test to recovery.

I think i did the same prophecy last year that 3400-3700 would be acheived when it was around 6000....I was probably lucky , some experts poopoo'd it.

Oil approaching 70.

House price drops levelling.

Holidays companies taking a panning.

Mortgages beginning to appear on the market at acceptable level.Although I still think that 90 percent mortgages are too much , 80 percent will see the norm and 4xearnings 20 year.Savers bonds created for homebuy deposits , seeing more money into savings to help cover loan protection schemes as the goal.I

Pound starting to creep against the euro heading to £1-E1.18 is the test for higher.The true extent of the eastern and piigs problems will start to appear....the reduced euro buying from lower holiday numbers.

Interest rates will probably be the same as now , 2 percent is about right , but bonus lock ins may double that for savers .... depends what goodies hmg holds for a new savers tax system.

Investment into aerospace quadruples to research the porcine air industry.

This, stolen from Paul Mason, a commentator I have a lot of time for :-

Eastern European economies 'fall apart' in the next 5 to 6 weeks.

It will be interesting to see the international response to this, if it happens.
