My 2015 predictions are:
JANUARY: Oil will trade below $50 pd
The will be a terrorist outrage in Europe
The SNB will remove the currency cap
FEBRUARY: Errrrrrrrrrrr let me get back to you later'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -
Baghdad falls to ISIS.0

Someone at De La Rue leaks that they have a massive expedite order to print a new Greek Drachma!
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...0 -
Perhaps yet another comic as a politician ?Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.0

I predict crazy mortgage deals to come to the market in the coming months as it becomes clear the new world order is deflation.
I am convinced we will see some sort of 100% LTV product on the market in the next 12 months. Either government backed or with caveats but it is certainly on the cards.0 -
I think it's going to be a pretty flat year. GDP growth will slow, employment growth will slow, house price increases will slow. We'll tick along, but I don't think anything spectacular will happen.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0

Only two of those are likely. The EURO may well indeed collapse and after the election I wouldn't be at all surprised to find the state pension and other OAP benefits means tested and tapered away for those with incomes over £50k - in the same way as child benefit. An individual with income over £50k p.a. certainly doesn't need state benefits of any flavour regardless of whether or not they think "they've paid in all their lives blah blah!".0 -
Big pension reforms are coming in soon anyway, so I think it will be a few more years until further ones happen.
The state pension will be means tested by the time I retire, but I don't think it's on the cards yet.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0 -
New Zealand will retain the rugby world cup.0
