    I like to think of it as a party. The party may be over. But theres a sh*t load to clean up. And it's only when cleaning up that you find out whats happened and how bad it was.

    I think that's a brilliant way of putting it.

    Lots of news this week about house prices rising (ever so slightly), and recession ending in France and Germany - even the Fed are saying that the worst is over.

    So is that it? Is it uphill (mostly) from now on?

    Or come the Autumn will there be another slide...?...?...

    I am not sure what to believe any more, so this is a genuine question. My gut feeling is that this is a false dawn - but hey, I'd be glad to be proved wrong!

    :confused:

    Are you having a blonde moment?

    Recession defined by whatever economists say is possibly over for some (US, France, Germany). ie. technical quarter on quarter whatever. Doesn't mean anything is going to improve. In some areas - employment particularly, it will continue getting worse.

    The UK has not left its technical recession despite billions upon billions of spending, and delays in starting to pay back our debt. That may be why the Boe panicked into another 50 big ones.

    The one thing we had going for us during the boom (apart from borrowed money and a housing bubble) was financial services. Hmm. What's our magic trick to recover? More borrowing I guess - that's what we do best.

    You should spend less time complaining the bears are out to get you and posting this kind of drivel everywhere, and more time contributing to the actual discussion on the threads.
