I don't think there is anyone inside or outside of the world of finance or world economics capable of calculating exactly where the worlds finance go next, estimations have been so wrong so often in the last twelve months that it surely means that any future estimating is purely guess work.

Many of the leading economists have recently been stating that things were starting to level out, yet yesterday saw both the ftse and down-jones drop at a rate that even a decompression chamber couldn't help with... Bloody noses and the bends all round after yesterday methinks.

It's about as reliable as asking Punxsutawney Phil about weather, in fact... With Phil having pretty much a 50-50 chance of getting it right, i'd say the odds would be stacked seriously in the wee beasties favour.
