ONs figures show manufacturing down 1.5% in January from december, that's 3% down in a year.As lovely financial/legal/accounting and the rest of the proffessional service sector is at making money, you shouldn't be suprised that if we don't make things we can't sell them.

Equities are back at pre 2008 levels. (good for your pensions and endowments)Pound is weaker which should promote export manafacturing. Employment is OK, could be better but.....
The press concentrate on it because they think it's a story. It has to be taken in the round.

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.

hey, Chomp works on the finance team, he knows how all this stuff works.(, Tue 12 Mar 2013, 12:47, Reply)
The problem being is that by the time the market is getting out of hand everyone 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.
