Perspective, it wasn't open yesterday
Dow now down 154 points 1.47% but the USD is up, so if you hold a Dow tracker not too much damage :beer: 'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

It's reassuring that there is a bit more robustness in the markets these days. If this news had come out 6 months ago we'd see carnage!
It does make me think that we're through the worst of it as far as the stockmarket is concerned.*

The Emperor's new clothes are not looking quite so stylish as the sycophants fooled themselves into believing...
Hammers, you and others who were prepared to say it orginally and ridiculed for it, are like the child who cried "but he isn't wearing anything at all !"...

It's all a massive over-reaction. Most of our banks only have small percentages tied up in the UAE. Its HSBC who are the most effected, and the reaction of RBS today showed how even the most susceptible banks aren't too exposed here. You would have thought with LLoyds falling massively that all the banks would relate, and coupled with this Dubai thing it could have been a lot worse.
Just a blip on the horizon.0
