    I think I would go crazy if I spent too much time in here. Half the threads seem to be started by gold lovers, property !!!!!s or attention seekers.

    That said, its nice to pop in every now and then and have a [STRIKE]laugh[/STRIKE] serious discussion. ;)

    Probably a good idea to stay away. I came to MSE looking for house buying and pensions advice and strayed in here. I can't seem to find my way out now!

    I know what you mean, even though you realise that it's like banging your head against a brick wall you still find yourself coming back for more.

    I've just about given upthough, I don't get as involved as I once did as I have realised it's just not worth the effort.

    I'm gutted this carnage of 0.25% drop has cost me about £200! It is the end of civilisation as we know it!

    But really I am a lot more concerned about my 10 mile race on Sunday and my slow progress in bowls now that the outdoor season has started.

    Yet another losing day for the FT-SE 100

    It has lost nearly 15% of its value in the last few weeks. :eek:

    At what's worse, I see more dark clouds ahead :(

    But it was hardly a 'meltdown today' (as you predicted) was it? (the Dow Jones is currently up today!) Maybe you should start thinking of your next profile id name as you can't survive many more embarressing threads like this can you?

    I take that with a pinch of salt given you said there was going to be a meltdown this afternoon.

    That's what I love about you guys, you always bite! :T

    It was down 2.5% today at one point. And that's on top of recent heavy falls. That's carnage in anyone's books.
    Still down today, and it's likely to go down much further in the days and weeks ahead. Tin Hats at the ready.

    And 2.5% is a meltdown?
