Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

What happens when a BBC robot hears something that is non-mainstream thinking?

They practically sh*t themselves on air ...

    He is a trader he doesn't need to see past the end of his nose, risk on/risk off, risk on/risk off etc ;)

    I get the impression his main source of revenue might be seminars etc hence he has a reason to "speak frankly". Lots of free publicity for him.

    I'm sure if there's one thing he dreams about more than recessions it's getting the chance to go on TV to encourage people to move the market the way he wants it to move!

    That might be his motivation. The more important question is 'does what he is saying have merit' ?

    I confess I find it worrying. I believe the comment about the relative impotency of governments to be a valid one.

    Off the savings board, it appears that all is not what it seems :) just another gob!!!!!.
    Rastani does not appear on a search of the Financial Service Authority’s register of approved persons, and there is no mention of an employer on his website.

    Rastani is registered at Companies House as the secretary of a firm called Santoro Projects Limited, with his occupation listed as an ‘investment speaker’.
    Records show he incorporated the company in 2007. The firm is exempt from submitting full accounts to Companies House due to its size classification as ‘small’ – meaning it has an annual turnover of less than £6.5m and no more than 50 employees.
