Despite the fact we have seen the credit markets seize up and the first run on a UK bank for 150 years, the FTSE 100 (<A href="http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=^FTSE">news</A>) index is down just 4% on two months ago, when the first signs of panic emerged. Year to date, the UK market is now up 4% before accounting for dividends.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/24092007/35/s-stock-market-crash.html">In mid-August, things did not look so rosy of course. The FTSE 100 briefly plunged below 6,000 at this time and was some 13% down in little over a month. Since then the recovery has been erratic but seemingly quite determined.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/24092007/35/s-stock-market-crash.html">It probably won't surprise you to learn that the FTSE 100 losses over the last two months have been concentrated in the financial sector. Fifteen banks and insurance companies have been responsible for almost two-thirds of the 250-point drop in the FTSE 100.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/24092007/35/s-stock-market-crash.html">A quarter of the companies in the FTSE 100 have risen over the last two months.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/66399DA7-8E45-4D70-BCB1-5071A8267E03/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
