    I have a regular monthly saver with Hargreaves Lansdown. Just funds for me, no shares.

    Are they the same as the Blue Man Group? :D

    By whom exactly, and to accomplish what?

    If it breaks below the 5000 I would put money on another 5% or so coming off.

    By them, you know, the Aliens. To accomplish global domination. They can't get me though, I have my tinfoil hat on to deflect their mind-control rays.

    One aspect of the story that's being side-lined at the moment: Sterling has been hammered almost as much as the Euro in forex (pound even fell against the Euro today!)

    Sterling hits 8-1/2 mth low vs in-favour dollar

    With the Chinese Yuan linked to the US dollar we'll see an influx of inflation over the coming months. Along with this morning's announcement of the highest raw material increases since RPI was ~5% the BoE are, yet again, looking foolish for their deflation propaganda.

    How will house prices rise when the cost of 3D tellys and ipads are surging? :eek:
