  1. Shocking GDP print given the amount of QE and rates on the floor. Construction taking the brunt I see. I guess we will see plenty more QE and maybe a rate cut to boot. I wonder if they have thought about a mass house building program. I guess they are worried about asset values. Still I suppose it's price worth paying, as long as it's not yourself paying. Did I see a post on here about morality
  2. The HaliWide index is very interesting, caught my attention straight away. Is it a fake out or not. What I am seeing is mayor support and demand at these levels suggesting to me at the very least a floor or bottom is in around me. London well where to begin except I don't really see any triggers only public debt getting external attention. I wouldn't be surprised seeing rising prices from here.
  3. They control the bond markets, through the ability to print, yes. But they don't control the currency markets. 'You can't buck the markets'
  4. Admin, i think someone has hacked John's account.
  5. Give him a copy of this, http://www.tullettprebon.com/announcements/strategyinsights/notes/2010/SIN20110526.pdf
  6. My mistake, been reading HPC pulling their hair out. Land reg & Halifax next week should be interesting.
  7. http://ftalphaville....y-deep-trouble/ I was wondering if the article was somewhat exaggerating maybe, no mention of real or nominal though. The UK is fubar 100%, house prices will be of minimal concern.
  8. So the NSA was up 0.31%, doesn't the figure come in about 4% in a normal market this time of year that's why we get SA. How does it compare to 08/09 for the same month.
  9. I mean't the elected government. They knew exactly what was going on at the time, not saying the new lot are any different.
  10. Well it's the country and governments job to offer the chance of a reasonable life. To many fundamentals going forward are bad for the UK, i'm struggling to think of any positives? I mean you touch on your own retirement but what type of retirement do you think your sons will have in the UK. The leaders are as much to blame as the bankers. Even more so because they are the ones in control. I'd fund them to do a 1 year working visa,easy to get when below 30, you never know they might love it and stay and if not at least they gain life experience.
  11. Birmingham agents still use a fee based system below a certain amount, at a guess £200k. Which depending on the postcode is the bulk of their work.
  12. Ive no doubt if the banks starting lending like they did before there would be a stampede to buy. The trouble is though they are not and anyone who wants to chuck their hard earned away, who is in a position to, kudos to them. The price being paid now is more likely to be scrutinised more closely, hence the low volume. If the EA's are happy with this volume, well good luck to them.
  13. Trouble is though your not scrutinizing when buying shoes.
  14. Well since you ask it's £2k on every £100k bought. And about £12k if invested in gold and your price projection comes true. But anyway it's not in my nature to throw money away, never will be either.
  15. Great buy back price, but not very competitive buying prices.
  16. Where do you buy your coins from, one here not far from me, http://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/?gclid=CIeYodGI7Z8CFdkB4wodW27SYg What about storage, i know banks allow you to use their safe for a small fee, but have heard most banks check what your storing. Also how easy will it be to sell coins, i'd imagine trying to sell 50 Britannias in one go might be difficult when you need to.
  17. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/jobs/8447555/Workers-under-pressure-as-pay-growth-slows.html I wonder why there is no reference to the construction industry in the article. Bankers seem to be doing ok though.

  19. Yes but there will be a tipping point on the ability to service the debt. Hence my reference to the retail figures. Just one example NMW workers tend to get public transport right, in the West Midlands fares increased by 10% last year.
