    6207.4 after Santa rally.

    Expect 5200-5400 sometime in Summer (when I'll start buying).


    Santa rally? Didn't he attack the Alamo?

    below 5000

    I said this, and I said it 2 years ago, but I never had the strength of convictions to go 100% cash. I'm 25% equities, but that still means I've lost many thousands of pounds (probably £20k by now).

    At least I'm short housing, and saving thousands per month on my house.

    between 5800 - 6300 (end of 2008). However, before that I see lots of pain: all the way down to 4500 :)

    Free, good call so far hope you are right about YE 2008, also good call on US and Euro banks.

    5600 would be a 'good' bounce now - given it started the year at 6200 or thereabouts...
