I have quite a wee bit of interest in finance and investment so probably once a day I click onto The Guardians webpage and do some reading. Tonight I went on to check how the markets closed - knowing that over the last week they have been falling loads - only to see the headline 'Global Stock Markets Panic Amid Eurozone Fears'. The article then went on to tell me that nearly £50bn (billion, fucking hell?!?!) had been wiped off the FTSE 100 in one day and that only represents the hundred biggest companies in the UK. The rest of Europe closed down about 3.4% on average per country. The Dow closed down more than 500 points, so America is fucked too.
I know I'm only 16 and I shouldn't be bothered about all this stuff but I can't help but think about how we were meant to be slowly getting out of this financial crisis but it seems like we're sliding our way back into it. Greece are probably going to have get a 3rd hundreds of billion pounds bail out, Spain and Italy(Berlusconi's fault) aren't far behind them and you can pretty much tell the German government are about to tell them all to go fuck themselves.
Don't know what will bring us out of this downturn as I'm not an economist, banker or politician but something has to start going right or else I don't see how this country will continue to run properly.
Now I'm going to watch Criminal Minds, laterzzzz.
