    i said 1/3rd - which is 33% have no investment vehicle. experts believe that the true figure is much higher.

    You must have done a typo then.
    its probably more like 2/3rd's of all people on io mortgages having no repayment vehicle.
  • i said it was 1/3rd - but experts believe it to be a lot more, hence 2/3rds. I think this is a fair and accurate estimate. If you disagree, show me your evidence.

    'Britain could face years of historically low interest rates, according to Standard Chartered’s chief economist.

    In an interview with The Guardian, Gerard Lyons argues that an expansion of the quantitative easing programme, which is aimed at getting banks to lend more, could see the Bank of England’s base rate stuck at 0.5% for another four years.'



    :T




    :rotfl:

    Interest rates will eventually go up.Do you think they will remain 0.5% for the next 100 years.MCClown is printing money to stave off the inevitable.

    which experts?

    Are they more expert that the experts making the lower estimates? In which case you wonder why they're not employed in favour of the less expert experts :confused:

    funny old world.
