What the hells going on with the FTSE

Stavros_3 · 2009-03-24 09:25:07

With over night rises in the far east and a huge leap of almost 500 points on the Dow, the FTSE opened up 30 odd points, and is now down. I would have thought that with the confidence in the U.S markets that would have been mirrored ocross here.

Or 1996 when it was more or less what it is now Obviously no GDP growth and inflation over that time.

'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher
