	It's as fucked as it ever was.
 	nothings changed Exports are down 3.5% unemployment is still far above structural levels. NHS and forces redundancies are coming in their thousands in the next 3 months. Houses aren't being built, small buisnesses can't get loans, first time buyers have to save for years before getting a deposit and people are getting pay rises below inflation. That's the round, we're still fucked and equity levels mean shit all.

 	owns a shit tonne of stock that's badly valued. That's purely based on the trend following algorithms that assume that someone knows what they're doing. And they work well, so well that they're used so much the influence of single human trade decisions are multiplied dozens of times in the first couple of miliseconds. That's dangerous.
