The Interest Rate roller coaster has left. Wonder where it will land in the next six months?

Yep, everything should be ok until April 2008, pencil that date in your diary to move the ISA.

Do rollercoasters "land"? That's one ride I wouldn't like to be on.

ANyway, the ride these past few years has been far too gentle. People have become complacent. They've taken off their safety harnesses, thinking everything's fine.

Bring on the sharp incline, if you ask me. That'll remind people money isn't usually this cheap.

Yikes. I'd seen similar reports in the Times on Friday and thought it was maybe just them thinking that.

Not that I'd be complaining if rates went up again - but it would hit a lot of people very hard.
