Soaring inflation in recent months, but everyone knows recovery never happened it was just a cover up. Rate hike to be forced by runaway inflation going to cause even bigger crash than if rates raised earlier.

Inflation was just a "blip", early last year.
Mervyn King said so.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -
raising BOE Interest Rates will deal with the rising inflation rate.

Your article says they are unlikely to act?
I like the idea of runaway inflation, like we have so much money the every day persons demand is pushing prices up.
In reality this inflation is driving down demand as people have less money, do you think raising rates will ease this or make it worse?0 -

Last roll!?
The market can hardly sustain itself even with all the stimulus.
Even the share boards I visit are now stating they are thinking of selling their shares before crisis number 2 happens (US & Greece issues).
Hardly the last roll of any dice. The housing market is in a more precarious position at the moment than it has been for a while.0 -

Your're right but i don't expect it literally to fall off a cliff immediatley,bargains were plentyful when the economy was in free fall,many failed to capitalise.
Yet some here seem to think they will dive in should another downturn happen,entirely the opposite,as most shut up shop.Official MR B fan club,dont go............................0 -
