FTSE 100 1 year price chart
And just as I was thinking about a suitable subject for this month’s editorial, the stock markets take another dive towards the soup. The banner headlines were that £44bn had been ‘wiped off’ share prices on the London stock exchange. Not the most joyous news that you could get in yet another annus miserabilis for equity investors, but one of those notional figures newspapers like to cosh their readership with from time to time.
