An end to the Euro crisis. Although at the moment that's looking as likely as Ed Milliband being prime minister.

Interestingly the DAX is down significantly more than the other main indices, mainly due to weak manufacturing data from China..

This and the fact that expectations are that Germany will have to write another cheque. Thing is, as I'm sure has been said earlier, this is nothing new. You watch the markets dive, then recover over a few days. Nothing has changed, other than investor confidence. I wonder if this really is the start of a big slide, or whether it'll bounce back over the next week or so just because someone says everything will be ok and that too much has been invested into the Euro for it to fail.
I find it interesting that some analysts will tell you the reasons for big gains/falls but you simply have no idea if that really is the reason. I mean, do they speak to all the investors and find out? Doubt it.

I'll be watching the indices next week with interest....getting itchy fingers.
