IF ONLY...BUT ALSO

yo!...down the plughole...innit!


PALOOKAVILLE FINANCIAL
capitulation day
+175...


AND THE NEXT 'FLATION WILL BE


lex : ..."Anyway, what might trigger a rise in inflation? That is the biggest stumbling block for worry-worts. The unwinding of the credit boom of the past 10 years will require higher savings, weak consumption and low investment, probably well into the next decade. That ensures demand will remain weak, and with it inflation too...."FT





'Sell every asset except gilts'

Conventional assets – even gold – are no good as hedges against the inevitable deflation, says one asset manager.

AND

Inflation will kill the gilt rally in the end

The announcement by the monetary authorities in the UK that a policy of quantatitive easing (QE) would be implemented was greeted with euphoria by the gilt market.


BUT ALSO

EXPORT I MANUFACTURE I MANUFACTURE I EXPORT

...here in palookaville we have always been told...

...our economy is f**ked bescause we have too small...

...a manufacturing base...

...we do not export enough...


...but look around the world and what do you see...

...world exports falling off a cliff...

...the great manufacturing economies...

...collapsing with them...



IF ONLY

...spoke of the 'if only' brigade...

...if only the BOE were independent...

...if only we exported more...

...if only we manufactured more...

...if only we had a strong currency...

...if only the banks would lend more...

...if only we could re-start the boom...

...if only people did not talk the economy down...

...if only we could stop the short sellers...


WELL

IF ONLY

THE POLITIX WOULD STOP FIDDLING


...like taking power from the BOE and giving it to the FSA...

...like robbing the pension funds...

...like robbing the savers...

...scrapping PEPs...

...increasing tax complexity...

...creating a client state...

...busting the economy...

...increasing the national debt...

...busting final salary pension schemes...

...while MPs have voted themselves...

...bigger salaries and better pension entitlements...
