Black Monday

Jan222008

Stop selling everyone, and you the news, stop telling people how bad it is, it's just making the ill informed small investors like me worry more, and sell, and exacerbate the problem. The market is only about as low as it was in mid August right now, but I expect* it's going to drop again when it opens.

My shares in Channelfly, all I ended up with in exchange for popex are worth just about nothing now, but they weren't worth very much anyway.

Ooh, on the plus side, maybe the people who made an offer on that house we like lost their deposit / confidence in yesterday's share slump?

*based entirely on Sod's Law, popex is the extent of my financial experience, don't follow me, the value of your portfolio may fall as well as rise.

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become. If you want a gig listed click here to add it (fixed now!), or just click here to post a message...
