What we should do in these troubled times.

Looking at the London stock market was something not for the faint hearted. Bank stocks such as Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) were really battered. I had to lie down as a result. Declaring an interest about UK bank stocks, I have got a few
HSBC shares. (Note for editor: I have since sold the HSBC shares at a loss since I got a real case of cold feet). I hope they go up. The British government has hinted that it will take equity stakes in the banks as part of a support operation. The hint has not helped shore up share prices.
In this blog I urge readers to get a will. This is quite straightforward. For instance, if you live in Coventry you can get a will drawn up with APS Legal and Associates
(www.Aps-legal.co.uk). The firm also offers advice on areas such as inheritance tax and financial tax planning (I think).
I am reading George Elliot's Middlemarch, which is a 19 century novel based on Coventry while Brassing is Birmingham.
