        People who want to gain control of a company cheaply? People who are long term investors? Don't forget that even though the Share Price may be falling, it is still a share, and will still pay a share of the profits, that's how it works. If you can buy those shares for 30% less today than you could last week, it doesn't mean the complany has suddenly stopped making a profit. Many people forget about this when they look at a stock market fall.

          me. Stocks have fallen before, but they always rise again. Now is the time for people who can afford to wait ( I have 25 years before I retire ) to get stocks at prices that will only maximise returns in a few years time.

            They don't buy stock initially, but a falling market is a short sellers' market. When they think the stock has bottomed, then they buy it back. And then, of course, there's the Illuminati...

              I think that's what they probably said in ancient Rome, and Greece, and the Mayan phrase "Buy it while it's cheap" is now in everyday use :) And the pyramids were modeled in the shape of an upward pointing arrow, indicating the inevitable rise in the price of mummy wrappings, after a small adjustment... :laugh:

                Remember, the value of pyramids can fall as well as rise.

                      So does this mean that the New World Order are hiding behind the facade of the Blackpool Illuminations and they put the "ons" at the end to complete the secrecy? All this time I thought it was just a load of old looking lighting displays in some hell hole of a Lancashire seaside resort. I supppose now you'll tell me that Blackpool Tower is some sort of beacon to communicate with their own kind.

                        No-one. (That was a joke by the way) Some people are taking long term positions. When they think a stock has bottomed, or reached fair value, they buy. It can go down some more though, but they dont care, provided they dont get hit by a a re-issue, (yeah, it hurt) because they know (hope to god) it will go up to somewhere approaching its old value in a 4 to 5 years. So buying Barclays at 100p today could make you 800% in 5 years. You could loose it all though. So spread it around different sectors. Bit of pharma, some construciton, mining, banking, tech. And only play with 20% max of your savings. Keep the rest somewhere solid. Like in Euros :) Actually has a pretty decent interest rate right now, although I believe the Rand is still 10% or so (but is SA as stable as Europe?) Anyway, its a market. It does what it does based on collective emotion. Fear, being the most powefull.

                          Exactly, the Tower is a Sub-Space Communication Relay, beaming information and instructions from their home planet. It is kept deliberately seedy and dirty and full of common people so that the authorities do not look too hard at what is going on there. The Pleasure Beach is, in fact, a brainwashing facility, and the nerve centre of the entire operation is held behind the doors of number 23 Shaw Road. This seemingly innocuous bed and breakfast accommodation is the world headquarters of our soon to be Lizard Overlords. (Although it does have En-suite and is highly regarded by the AA). Soon, the tendrils of their power will seep like a net around the world, turning us into their vassels and slaves, a few, elite, select, humans will be given power to rule over us in the name of our new masters, but most will be enslaved to serve them. That explains Blackpool, but even worse is the Alpha Site, Las Vegas.

                                      People who recognize when a floor selling point has come or will come in the near future and begin buying on the knowledge that recessions and depressions are only precursors to growth.
