Unfortunately for our experts, the fact that their predictions may be expressed with admirable conviction does not always make them correct.

Editor's Notes

Just when it looked safe for the bulls to come out, this exhortation for us all to fill our boots was rather spoiled by actuality. In the event, the ensuing five trading days managed to conjure up a loss of 110.67 , or 1.9 per cent, for the FTSE 100 which, in the words of the Weekend F.T., “…made its biggest weekly loss since the start of the year with mining stocks leading it lower on fears over the outlook for global growth. Fears of a lingering recession in the eurozone and poor data from the U.S. housing market left traders unwilling to move the benchmark index back towards its recent peaks”. Events, dear boy, events.
