You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Has anyone else had enough of being told what the bloody 'markets' are doing and thinking as if they are some singular entity, and secondly as if the markets have the slightest clue about a) what is going on and b) what will be going on in the future?
Or is it just me?
It gives the BBC a chance to wheel out Peston. It does look like a good time to buy however...
My Italian neighbour has just had a animated discussion with my Italian wife [as they do] and apparently there are good tomatoes today in the market
iDave - I agree entirley, bunch of shysters only out for themselves.
only out for themselves
Errrr, yes.
I don't know who we're complaining about here...
Is it news readers, stock market traders, market stall holders...or Italians?
The markets reflect various things about the actual state of the economy, afaik.
Wembley's not as good as it used to be.
It's your pension funds 😯
Bury, best market in the world. FACT!

I like listening to Peston. I think he talks rubbish mostly, but it's the way he keeps doing those vomiting noises which tickles me.
Borough Market's gone up its own derriere a bit of late.
I used to quite like Leicester fruit and veg market although the newer covered market smelt a bit like a car park stairwell. By contrast Oxford's covered market is very nice especially if you're after game.

This being STW, it'll be everything. I suspect it's all down to the public sector pensions. Or Thatcher. Or dole scroungers and benefit cheats. Or the wrong tyres.
I used to trade in Oxford's Covered Market... I love the smell of the place, absolutely love it.
mmmmmh.... meat.
£50bn wiped off yesterday and £40bn today, I know it's a good time to buy some stocks or trusts but I cant get motivated to do, I'll regret it when the bounce occurs.
What I don't understand about this whole 'the worlds economy is in turmoil' thing is, how does it effect me on a day to day level?
Now i realise that's a very basic level of understanding but I just don't have it as (as stated above) there is nothing I can do about the World's economy so I tend not to pay much attention to it, but can someone please try to explain it to me?
Project Mayhem is happening a bit differently to how it was envisioned.

Simples.
i wasnt that bothered until No 10 released a statement syaing
David Cameron and George Osborne are "fully in control"
that fills me with fear for several reasons

the markets are the economy
The UK government is "fully functioning" in the midst of the eurozone crisis despite David Cameron and George Osborne being on holiday, William Hague has said.
That means that Clegg is in charge...
I know, I voted Lib Dem last year.

If only there was some way we could compare all these markets

I'd say there are plenty of better markets throughout the world!
The worst market is Gorton market.

They reflect traders' confidence in the state of the economy. Which ain't the same thing.

Are you contemplating some kind of index?
Who would run such a thing

cleggs on holiday too actually
there's a market next the the reading council offices and the 99p store on wednesdays and fridays, if you want Afro-Caribbean diet specific vegetables, clothes with pictures of bob marley on them, new era caps, mobile phone accessories or bongs then its the place to go. on a good day there's about... 6 stalls.
