We're in recession: official. 1:57pm on 23 Jan 2009 Is 'Moral Hazard' ever avoidable?

Doesn't even the BoE threaten Moral Hazard, given it's private researches on the economy which it may or may not reveal to us?

1. What do you think the low point of hte FTSE will be this year?

2. If we KNOW when markets get it wrong and right, why don't we just legislate for those situations instead of fiddling about at arms length with markets?

Portillo says we're heading for a slump (he would, wouldn't he!)

Will Hutton, an extended severe recession.

Diane Abbot - she fears a slump is coming.

'How about you?'
We're in recession: official. 1:49pm on 23 Jan 2009 My 30, and it's PS:

Whoops, it looks like it is!

Why should anyone have any more than anyone else?
We're in recession: official. 1:37pm on 23 Jan 2009 QFN (Quesies for Nils)

Do you approve of the music?

Did Peston's reporting affect markets in what he said ABOUT what he reported?

Did the pound fall after PM's report of Roger's opinions?
We're in recession: official. 1:34pm on 23 Jan 2009 At this very moment te FTSE has fallen below 4000****.

Nils, why do markets regard such milestones as psychologically significant?

Is it good that they do?

**** I mistyped it as 400, at first. But that is surely still weeks away, isn't it?

PS. If it is psychologically significant, why, at 3,999.9 didn't it fall a huge amoutn more?
We're in recession: official. 1:30pm on 23 Jan 2009 I have a question for Nils.

The British banks, taken altogether, are worth exactly... zero, according to Will Hutton (last night)

(The one with current net worth will be in the red itself by 2010).

So if we were to take them ALL into public ownership without compensation and give everyone an equal share in the National Bank, would that be fair?

Oh, come ON!

Didn't Wild Alasdair of Roy Bridge get beaten by a man whom he saw there, on the very bridge of his own home town?

And didn't the man beat him again when Alasdair went out in the middle of the night to the byre, when he though a cow had escaped?

And didn't everyone say it was the whisky when they found him lying there broken?

And didn't he have to go to America to escape the man

The place was nothing but forest and Alasdair had to cut a long path to his cabin to make sure he didn't get lost.

A real wild place.

But the man followed him even there.

Everyone knows the story of Donald and James and the farmers wife who became horses intermittently.

I was thinking of the story again today.

Of course Donald and James were farm workers who slept in the bothy and the farmer's wife slept in the big house with her face to the wall.

But the blacksmith knew the truth straight away, but did as he was told anyway.

Even though she awoke with the horse shoes in the palms of her hands and Donald or James had awoken every morning broken and miserable, the burning was wrong. Totally wrong.

If it was wrong in 1722 it was wrong then, I say!

Didn't she wake the once broken and miserable? Wasn't that enough punishment?
