I love the sensationalist stories in the Daily Mail... Analysts warn Americans to buy guns and gold, predicting market crash and street riots within a year!

    Tabloid newspaper uses misleading headline and sensational/emotive article to further odd editorial agenda and increase traffic/sales.

    In other news, pope still catholic.

    ;)

    ... from the same paper that told pensioners to get out of low risk corporate bonds and invest in tech funds after 90% of the gains had been seen (and just before the 90% drop that occurred a short time later).

    Nowadays I am surprised they can find room for articles that do not involve celebrities, made up articles from SPORTSMAIL REPORTER, and painting everyone as benefit scroungers.

If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    At least the story mentions someone who might actually know what they are talking about -- Warren Buffett. His annual report just came out.
