Big Fall on FTSE - Newsnight

56 billion wiped off the FTSE, major financial crash looming, US and China trade wars, US debts at 21 trillion and rising, will be a slow down in demand and growth. Happy days!!!

Christ ...they've  got that wife of Lib Dem MP who lied and went to jail for claiming she was driving when her husband was in speeding case!

Now the time to buy Gold and Silver guys,times of uncertainty

Agree Gold Terry but Silver a waste of time.

The SNP have ignored at least 5 votes at Holyrood.

oops meant for QT

buy baked beans and seed potatoes...

When Gold goes up silver follows, never the other way round but still value to be had Akabula

Too late

But isn't it back to what it was all summer.

Not really a huge catastrophe

* Apologies I was viewing Standard & Poor graphs

nasdaq was up today !

brexit vote on tuesday = 1.will we shoot ourselves in the foot. or 2.=Will we shoot ourselves in the head.
how on earth did they get into this mess.but there is a knight in shining armor number3."its called ,let go home and enjoy christmas and make a phone call  to the EU saying we are not leaving because the people of the UK got it wrong and did not know what they were voting for.

If I could be bothered to converse with a cabbage I'd argue a couple of those points with you.

The DOW put on another miraculous "recovery" yesterday , -800 to -90

Same old story with the yank market, out of nowhere comes a load of buying when there's sodding no one who wants to buy

The yield curve is inverting as well

Did Newsnight get all excited when the FTSE broke the 7000 barrier?

Thought not..

Already back up 200 points today.

That Kay woman off Sky News tried to bring the decline yesterday into the Brexit interviews.

Newsnight started their piece mocking Trump.

The main stream media really cannot be trusted.

I wanna know how does a market "rally" when its in sell off mode?

Who the hell is buying when its sinking like it was yesterday?

How can you have a massive drop one day, everyone running for the hills, only for the next day it being in rally mode?

Absolutely ridiculous the whole thing, no one has a bloody chance in them

It is almost as if they are merely broadcasting to each other.

Nothing is real in these markets

You can't have a sinking one day and then a massive upturn the next ffs

Its **** beyond belief, another elite con job

r i g g e d ****

People just making money SS - it doesn't stop for Brexit. Volatile times create volatile markets.

down 300 up 300 down 400 up 400

Its almost as if they are making money both sides of it

We ain't making money though, a few quid in the markets will be met with higher inflation and more for the goods you wanna purchase in the shops

Oh look Microsoft stock is up massive... that's another £150 extra on your laptop/pc purchase

A higher stock price should mean a lower price in the shops?

Nope it goes the other way

Vile

Fuels been tanking recently ?

Yet no lower fuel prices

Watch it go back up and the fuel at the pumps goes up with it

They are taking the p***

Terry McCann - "When Gold goes up silver follows, never the other way round but still value to be had Akabula"

Bit more of a disconnect these days though.

See what you mean Blackbarn,but im fairly new to the precious metal game and ive yet to see Silver go up on any day unless the price of Gold had increased

The uk market is trading at close to its long term average so in theory if it drops from here it might be time to buy. I 've followed the FTSE for many years and  have set out below its annual movements
