Back in the beginning of September, I put my shout in for a -1.5% to balance my stagnating theory.IveSeenTheLight wrote: »Could I predict -1.5% for next year?
I know there a factors prediciting a modest fall of 5% for the next year, but putting -1.5% would figure in my thoughts that were pretty much in a stagnant period.:wall:

Two years ago the banks were going bust.
So we transferred the debt to the government to avoid economic melt down
Now two years later the governments are going bust, because the debt is still there.
There has been more printing of money that has inflation running at 4%.
I think this coming year will be sovereign reckoning time and the start of interest rates going up once more.
So I forecast a fall of 10% in nominal values probably more like 15% when inflation and currency exchange rates are factored in.

-4% for me please Cleaver. I think it will be somewhere between 0 and -5, just don't know where, and I rather like the number 4.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.
