Marcus Brookes, on the short term prospects for the FTSE.
I wouldn`t be at all surprised if markets fell by 10% next week. We have moved back into cautious assets until the bigger picture is clearer

Gerhard Schroder(on the euro)
Our future begins on January 1 1999. The euro is Europe`s key to the 21st century. The era of solo national fiscal and economic policy is over.

Editor's Notes
Views about the euro can understandably change over time, but it is hard to conceive of greater Damascene conversion than that displayed by Herr Schroder in opposition in March 1998, when he said:
“The euro is a sickly premature infant, the result of an over-hasty monetary union.”
Contrast this with the pronouncements of the newly-elected Chancellor Schroder on December 31 1998:
“Our future begins on January 1 1999. The euro is Europe`s key to the 21st century. The era of solo national fiscal and economic policy is over.”
Hmm.
