    For those that doubt this, have a look at a couple of major companies balance sheets. They are all hoarding cash. More sense here than you would believe.

    Its also been suggested that liquidity levels at banks are more healthy, but they simply dont want to lend as the emperor has been revealed to have no clothes and are massively risk adverse after the last crunch.

    IF they sort the euro crisis out, could be argued that is the last major issue dealt with. The only last restrain on demand will be fiscal tightening across the pond. If Obama gets back in, all bets are off. Q-E me up baby!

    A "homeowners" dinner party!?

    Did you really all call it that? Rather than just saying "fancy coming round to my dinner party" you specifically stated "fancing coming round to my homeowners dinner party"?

    It must have been a hoot!

    Reminds me of primary school and "do you wanna be in my club?!"

    He invited some renters but they had to stand outside the window sharing a small bag of chips.
