    -3.6% now.

    I know this isn't the most accurate and dynamic financial quote service, but at least we're providing a better and more up to date service for Exocet than the BBC are managing.


    Your website link was a good find..

    The Long Emergency starts today. In the Great Depression, the market bottom was found after 90% decline and 5 bear rallies which bankrupted millions.

    Good luck everyone

    This is it. This is the BIG one. It was only really a matter of time before it happened.

    We're all doomed now.

    Phew, things stabilised around 5% drop. Very interesting morning ahead. And so much for the merit of stop losses!

    We're only down about 2.5% now. You and amcluesent can't start your orgy of doom quite yet.

    This is no time for jest. It's time Ladies and Gentlemen to retire to one's bunker until the state of emergency is officially over.

    Sensibly I've stockpiled 18 months' supplies of food and fuel, so who's laughing now.

    >Britain could be targeted by speculators in event of hung parliament as traders will be able to bet on collapse in sterling<

    The spivs wanted to have a pop at the Boy George to see if he'd crack and whack up interest rates. But they'll have to face down Wince Cable at No.11...

    Well, I am laughing a bit. 18 months of fuel - that mate is a fire hazard.
