Xmas crash 2005. xmas is early

may explain part of the recent action.

ING released a report yestaerday (probably leaked a few days before) on Boid flu knocking 10- 20% of GDP

NOTE- not off GDP growth, but off GDP.

thats 50% off the indeces in my book]



also pencilled in mega inflation ( I concurr)

----------------------------------

listened to Peter Eliades tonight.

he wasnt as bearish as I would expect, but pointed out we have just broken the record for the number of consecutive weeks that bulls outnumbered bears (amongst adviser community) for 40 years.

---------------------------------------

linked to Steve Puetz crash window in my mind, of eclipses and new moons (Oct 3rd) marking rapid change from mega bull to mega bear very quickly.


------------------------------------------------------------

I also thought small punters were not involved this time.

til I scanned this BB.

5 pages of different threads posted on since 5.pm this evening.

pick up due to small punter nervousness coming back ?
