Thanks. I have had a play with it. (It’s really bad )

I don’t know TBH. I’m taking the articles at face value. You didn’t answer my question Here’s a couple more http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/jul...ng-boom-england "Housebuilding is unprecedentedly low," said Kerslake. "Over the last 20 years completions fluctuated, averaging around 120,000. But even at the peak of the buoyant market we didn't hit the target." http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2009/jul/0...ent-competition Wes Streeting, the president of the National Union of Students, said: "As the first generation of students to pay top-up fees leaves university with unprecedented debt levels, we now have confirmation that a quarter of graduate vacancies have disappeared, in direct contrast to the overly optimistic and glib predictions that had previously been issued." EDIT: Sorry. I have to add this one. You can’t say there’s a precedent for this http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/ju...osthumous-sales Michael Jackson has proved to be bigger than Elvis, according to high street chain HMV, which has reported unprecedented demand for the singer's back catalogue.

The nuclear deterrent may do its job and deter anyone from starting a war that could lead to the destruction of the world. Are you sure you cannot see any UNPRECEDENTED activity? LONDON (Reuters) - The Bank of England surprised markets on Thursday by keeping its quantitative easing programme unchanged at 125 billion pounds, boosting speculation that it may soon finish its unprecedented asset-buying scheme. http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE5682J...me=businessNews Gordon Brown and President Sarkozy made an unprecedented intervention in the global oil market yesterday, using a meeting of the Group of Eight leading economic nations to press for a crackdown on speculators stoking volatility in global crude prices. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/busi...icle6670238.ece The German government is mulling the "unprecedented" step of lending directly to companies as credit dries up for both Mittlestand family firms and the industrial export giants. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/finance...ct-lending.html

You're such a pesimist . Why would fiat failiure lead to world wide distruction

This is a good Kondratiev resource. Have a look at this presentation on K-Waves** Make sure your virus scanner is up to date. There was previously a virus on this site. I think the site gets attacked regularly. They’ve changed the URL a few times in the last year http://www.longwavegroup.com/flash_pres.html You can download some of the charts/slides here. http://www.longwavegroup.com/downloads.html Hyperinflation of fiat currencies = deflation relative to gold (?)

You might make it through another 10 K-Years http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4003063.stm Life expectancy is increasing in the developed world. But Cambridge University geneticist Aubrey de Grey believes it will soon extend dramatically to 1,000.

I can’t find the thread that first introduced me to k-waves but I have found this one: http://www.greenenergyinvestors.com/index....p;hl=Kondratief This is in the OP of the thread I was looking for http://kondratyev.com/reference/theory_explained.htm BTW, There are several ways to spell Kondratiev (Kondratief, Kondratieff, Kondratyev….) Basically, each season lasts around one generation (15 to 20 years). Winter is said to have started around year 2000 so we should get to the end around 2015-2020

Great stuff CC. I need a Dominic Frisby PDF reader now. (Seriously, does anyone know of a good piece of free software than can read PDFs out loud?) BTW, gold has many many industrial uses and there would be others too if gold wasn’t expensive. I’ve posted this video in the past. It shows computers being recycled and some uses for the recovered gold. From: Georgia - Russia and there will be others unfortunately. Also... depending on how they are counted..... Lebanon - Israel ?? Was this a war between the countries? Yugoslavia - Yugoslavia (civil war)

Thanks for posting. I don’t really know anything about TA so I really appreciate when others take the time to post stuff like this. Out of interest, why did you chose the real house price chart over the nominal one? I’m expecting house prices to drop to around 2.5 - 3 times average salary at the very bottom of the market. I think you are in the right ballpark with 90k. Inflation should cover up some of the mess. Without inflation, the bottom could be down to around £60k. I’m not sure about time scales. House prices may fall for another 20 years or more relative to average salary. Though I think we’ll get the nominal falls out of the way around the end of next year. BTW, 2019 (ish) ties in nicely with the end of K-Winter.

I think she was just happy to be earning money as a presenter tbh. If you haven't seen it, Skip forward to 13:00 to watch the investor looking at gold (He is also a long term property investor) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00ln...9_Supersave_Me/

I’ve come up with a brilliant idea for a TV show. It’s called ‘Celebrity House Price Crash’ The owner of JJB has his put his house up for sale. Burn baby http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sa...ncludeSSTC%3Don (I actually think he’s got a good chance of shifting it for around his asking price. I know people who live in the area and they have little sense and lots of money) Joking aside: They’ve renamed the TV show to ‘Property Snakes & Ladders’ this year http://www.channel4.com/4homes/on-tv/property-ladder/

I saw it. The show pretty much ramped everything. Stocks, property, cash, cars & gold. I was disappointed in Merynn. I was expecting her to offer a view on the investments but she didn’t really say anything negative about anything.

Newsnight made my blood boil tonight. That arrogant pensions' minister really annoyed me….. and the blonde girl. She was a ‘Senior Pensions Researcher’. They asked her a load of patronising questions because she was young. FFS! she’s a pensions researcher (a senior one)…. Why the **** didn’t they ask her any thing about her research? “Have you got a pension little girl? ” gggrrrrr. I was hoping she would reply with… “I can’t save because I’m over taxed paying for your ******* benefits package and overpriced property pensions ”

:angry: FFS! I Moved my current account from HBOS to NW to get away from this $h!t. Why don't they buy a house costing LESS? Hang on a sec. In the above example; the person has £12.5k. They could have paid 63% of their NE by themselves! AND saved up to pay the remaining 27% You really couldn't make it up

GBP going down the pan saved us from the UDS PoG last year. Do you think this year will be different?

£8 is broken. Currently £7.97 Link to live silver GBP chart (pick it from the instruments, other currencies also available) http://goldprice.org/live-gold-price.html

I’ve got my last units of Sterling for the year loaded in to GM and I think I will spend it today. Price is currently £8.01 - which is quite a long way below my average buying price for this year. I don’t think we will see £7… but I am only guessing. £8ish is a good price and I am happy to pay it.

Prices ticked down a bit according to the Halifax. -0.5% MoM This should effect sentiment if it is not ignored by the media. http://www.lloydsbankinggroup.com/media/wo...dexJune2009.doc

I suspect the EU would stop Gordon Brown from acting individually. I hope the Germans will put a stop to any attempt.

Wow, Them Maples are cheaper than CIDs price!

Good video. Thanks

BTW, I got them from Airdale Coins. Check your coins I bought one of every coin a while back with 4 Britannia’s. They all came in capsules with the exception of the Britannia’s and one Eagle
