I think it may be getting a bit daft again

The following headline on Reuters is not daft of itself:

FTSE seen opening higher

I think you might expect to see such a headline about 50% of the time!

But then there are the following...

BAA forced to press ahead with airport sales
Lloyd's of London counts cost of 2010 catastrophes
Dixons in profit warning after sales fall 11%
Irish Life suspends shares ahead of stress tests
Co-op sees no consumer recovery until 2012
U.S. consumer morale ebbs as home prices near 2009 lows
BES chief says European bailouts hurt banking sector - report

I mean seriously - where is the good news in all this? Of course interest rates are dirt cheap, investors want to earn more than tuppence - funds need to produce results for shareholders...bankers need bonuses...

Blimey does this sound like 2006 again?

Maybe we can find some unemployed homeless former bankrupts to lend money to.

That should work
