I blame the press for all this, if noone reported this crap noone would be selling their shares etc. I have seen some real scare mongering going on in the press in the uk for weeks.

In short if you have enough money to last you for year then go for it. You could always freelance for extra money if needed.

Are you serious? Hedge funds and investment banks do not really base their decissions on what press writes.

yes because they cause consumers to stop spending and therefore these hedgefunds etc go with it. would you invest in a retailer if you were being told that there was a recession?

that is not true. Hedges are especially mindful of the winds of change that news can bring about.
