Buy Swiss Francs, Buy Norweigan Oil, Buy Russian Gold... Historically 3 markets that react independantly of each other.
Sell FTSE 6 month futures, go on holdiay to the Caribbean till August and come back the richest man in the UK.
Bob, I think things will get to a new all time low, the Bank of England has already started printing money in sums never before imagined, every move twist they take makes the ?10 I've got in my pocket just now worth LESS (and I'll not see a share of the 50billion loan fund).
We're at the tip of the iceberg, I think the scale of what I've been warning about for a while is just coming into the mainstream psyche with the news that the Goverment will take upto the early 2030's to repay its debt and thats if theres enough of us around to pay it off.
I won ?100 on betfair today, a friend of mine who gambles in Euros placed the same bets as me, his moneys worth about 12% more than mine, 6 months ago we wouldve been winning and losing the same.
Some say things cant be that bad while supermarkets are still full (of food, not people) and people still have houses, well I can assure them that big lifestyle changes will have to come into play very soon. How many giant 4x4's and 42 inch tvs do we see on these reposession programs on TV? Maybe if they paid their bills and didnt chase the lifestyle ideals shows like 'a place in the sun' or the various home improvement efforts have been firing at them for 10 years they wouldnt be losing their houses, its almost pornographic watching the sums of money average folks were spending on second homes and cars this past decade.
Everything from the homes we live in, the wages our companies pay us and the products shops are selling, is all paid for with borrowed money. The amount of money Tescos borrows every year insuring its distribution fleet is mindblowing, its all borrowed money, big stores like Debenhams or Marks and Spencer are exactly the same, they dont pay anything to move their products around the country up front.
Big changes are to come and they wont be pretty.
