It seems every bearish commentator and analyst is looking at August-December 2010. I don't know about you, but I'll be withdrawing some emergency cash and buying extra tuna this week

From todays telegraph,

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economi...c-slowdown.html

"The gloomy outlook comes just days before the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee meets to decide whether to raise interest rates. The expectation is that members will vote to leave interest rates on hold at 0.5pc on Thursday amid the mounting concerns of a double-dip global recession.

They are also expected to maintain its quantitative easing target at £200bn of asset purchases. "

Does this mean the BOE is ploughing money into the FTSE, assume USA is doing the same, doesn't this put the crash on hold?

Choice list. A perfect storm indeed! Gold:Gordon would be a 'happy' inclusion, IMO.

If we are all on "the same side of the boat", it will probably not happen.
It is hard to be a contrarian, if everyone agrees with you.

Let's see how "prepared" people are come late July.
I nice sharp rally before then might set up a Crash nicely

No, I think it means they will not increase the amount of QE, nor pay it back. I.e. it stays at the current £200 billion. No extra boost.

I think most of these contrarians can be counted on two hands. Is it any use going contrary the contrarians?
Walayat thinks we will have a move up to 12500 on the Dow. That's quite a bounce.
October will be the time to watch out for, I guess.

We'll probably be at war by then, no-one will notice the crash.

At war with whom?

Aliens. The perfect time for a distracting announcment IMHO.

But in this case we're talking about people in the gold/honest money/Austrian community, not the mainstream.

If everyone on CNBC were saying this I might be less bearish. But on CNBC you still hear "stocks are cheap," and "we're accumulating on the dips." (lol) I sure wish I could see the future.

Like 50sQuiff I think I'll buy some more tuna. Does anyone know if its safe to eat tuna uncooked, straight from the can?

Selling up, squatting in a shack on the coast... and investing in a fishing line sounds a better strategy to me.

can the IMF stop them

I forgot another..

Better make it a whole crate of John West's finest

R U kidding?

Go home and do the following:

1 can of tuna in brine
1 can of sweet corn
1 bag of nice leafy salat
a little bit of balsamico
a little bit of olive oil
a little bit of vegetable stock (in powder form)
a little bit of chopped onion

Take the "little bits" and make a nice salat sauce to your gusto.
Put the salat in it.
Put the tuna (in small pieces, using a fork) and maybe half of the sweet corn on top.
Mix it all.

Eat & enjoy!

Tuna, Sweetcorn & Mayo - classic !

Might try your idea howwver

With a little pasta of course

Maybe also some Cayenne Pepper.
