Go semestrito.
Now that was just the month of June playing look back and make a summary of what has happened in these first 6 months. Fortunately in Invertia did the other day, so I save my work and I will save your reading with the following summary, that to be honest, one would want to mourn.
Development of profitability in the first half 2008.
The Ibex 35 has recorded one of its worst semesters so far this decade. We have to go back to 2002 when, in the first half of this year fell 17% to find a similar figure. In the past five years, the Spanish selective has been repuntes ranging from 13% in the first half of 2003 to 5%, which was scored in the first six months of last year.
Within the Ibex 35, the blue chips have also not been able to offer gains to investors. With the exception of Repsol-YPF that has benefited from the rise of crude oil (the price of Brent has climbed 47% through June from the 92 euros at which quoted in December 2007), none of the major has achieved positive sign . The Spanish oil giant has seen its shares have appreciated by 10%.
U.S. suffers unless Europe despite being the trigger
The international equities has not offered many opportunities for investors as only the EuroStoxx 50 has yielded 17.5% in the first six months. This figure reaches 20% if calculated interannual. The London FTSE has fallen more than 10% and the Paris CAC, 17% and the DAX also dropped 17% since January.
Across the Atlantic has not gone much better, and the Dow Jones suffer a decline of 8.5%, much less than what European stock markets shows that the focus of the problem in the subprime market have had greater waist. The S & P 500 has also yielded a 8.75%, while the Nasdaq technology has been the most penalized to the left at 9.5%.
The funds are unable to overcome the crisis
The funds have also not had a good response to the crisis. Among all the funds marketed in Spain, none of the funds that invest in equities Spanish get the positive sign. Nor those who able to choose only by the actions of the euro zone.
The fixed-income funds were the only ones, along with the money, they have achieved a positive return in the top 0.89% since January. Did the best that money gained 1.19% of profitability. The equity has fallen to 8.96 on May. The equity has given mixed 5.42% and fixed income mixed, so has a 1.64%.
Deposits, Internet accounts and letters, the only hope
The problem of inflation appears to be the biggest concern of investors. The swift action taken by central banks to feed liquidity of the markets after the drowning sparked by the subprime problem have led to the setting in inflation, which in May has become the figure of 4.6% year. Moreover, the surge of crude nearly 50% has not helped control it. For this reason, it is hard to find products that have succeeded in overcoming the mark of the CPI.
The current accounts of entities which trade over the Internet appear to have been a good option. The average profitability of these products was 4.5%, which allows the investor to try to counter inflation. Some deposits of more than one year are the only ones who manage to overcome the CPI. For example, the account blue Banesto offers a return of 5.5% APR on a monthly or deposit of Caja Madrid to 15 months is 5%.
Nor is housing and shelter investor
The price of second-hand housing has fallen 3.65% in the first five months of the year, to stand at the 2376 euros per square meter, according to a study by the portal Facilisimo.com. Only in May, the price of buildings used has dropped 1.04%, while in the last twelve months the value of the home yielded 5.64%.
One will have to wait for official statistics on housing and that is the National Statistics Institute (INE) will begin to publish the Index of Prices for Housing (IPV) on the evolution of house prices new and used during the months of July or August, according to sources in the body chaired by James Garcia.
Go anita we carry. If you have a mortgage, bad for the rise in the Euribor and if you have pasta, too bad because the returns (if any) are ridiculous. If the fund, money that does not give more problems, whether you like it if you must.

Hello everyone:
Ok. Agreed. If I have a headache I can take an aspirin. If it hurts me almost every day, I take an aspirin almost every day. That's not me who has become a aspirinoadicto not make me forget that I have a headache. But the point is that I am relieved.
Do not confuse the symptom with the disease, nor to cure the disease.
We are in crisis. In deep crisis. That is the disease, and the causes of it are clear and varied: the price of oil, food prices, debt levels, nonsense that we have done in metiéndonos floors, cars, etc.. which are beyond our means (such as smoking voluntarily, for example). And many more.
The symptoms of this disease called crises, are also varied: high inflation, low growth, contraction of the various indicators, drop in consumption, increased unemployment, choking to reach the end of the month, and so on.
And what are the most appropriate remedies to cure this disease?: I leave that to your experience as a medical economy. For my part I put a fundamental restraint on almost everything.
What that football will relieve the pain to some, no doubt. It's like the placebo effect or if one prefers, as a bag of hot water. And if you relieved in the bottom, then do not leave. But do not confuse the cure to the disease. That does not make us forget that the disease is still there.
Last night someone made a brilliant comment:

But now you see: oil returns to beat his record and it seems that we stay as Pancho. Bag in a minimum and we ours. This month Euribor is at the average highest in its history ... etc .... Well, even so I hope she wins Spain. But that does not confuse us.
