I was reading that quite a few companies are bringing their operations back on shore due to the utter uselessness of offshore staff and the fact that as predicted, they want proper wages.
Yesterday HSBC's system was down - no ATM's working etc. Today RBSG is out including internet banking - pure coincidence?
If it was that easy why doesnt everyone do it?You should buy in a bear market. So now would be the time!
The real strategy is to get inside information, without it beeing "illegal".
Also when certain stocks hit somewhere around €2,00 or below and they are renown companies, not beeing able to fall (euhm pun intended) you should buy it asap. It wont go bellow that mark (not much anyway) and if a real crisis brakes out, your money is worth shite anyway.
The real strategy for the average man in the street is to buy into a ftse-100 tracker for a fixed amount every month. That way you reduce timing errors and highs/lows even out and you end up with the average index growth (which is normally a function of inflation and economic growth) and often a shitload more than your bank will give you.
