There will be another boom, but this time it's different. In previous cycles boom has followed bust pretty quicky. However, Labour burned this country before they left and as a result we'll be bumping along the bottom for the best part of a decade.
So will interest rates. :rotfl:
Look what has happened to Japans over the past decade.

EDIT:- to add to the theme, boom boom shake the room, tick tick tick, boooooooooooooooooooom

yep, boom, bust, boom regular as clockwork. I think it's due to just enough time to forget the lessons learnt ready for the next round!!
I think we're still in the bust, with no boom in sight!0 -
Since the middle ages we've lived in a discretionary economy - that is, a large proportion of our income is spent on things we want, rather than need. So most spending will always be a matter of mood and when mood gets magnified by mass media and domino effects, strong plus and minus cycles are inevitable.0

It used to go boom-bust-boom-bust, but then gordon brown came in and he got rid of boom and bust. Lucky usI am not a financial expert, and the post above is merely my opinion.:j0
