The one we are now experiencing has been some 10 years in the making. Economies built on house-prices? Let's get real...And, of course, financial crises are "talked down" by the market.As Mandy Rice-Davies famously said "... he (they) would do, wouldn't he (they)...As we now see, "we" i.e. the global economy IS/ARE in economic melt-down.Warren Buffett warned us 6, maybe 7 years ago what might happen with Derivatives trading. But, hey, he's only one of the world's richest self-made men so, what the hell does he know..?! Mon 06 Oct 2008 20:25:29 GMT+1
