I’ve started to think about trends for the next 12-18 months and it’s come out as quite a depressing little list. Here they are. I will endeavour to put together something less pessimistic over the next few weeks.

1. Turbulence
2. Uncertainty
3. Fragility
4. Contagion
5. Risk aversion
6. Displacement activity
7. Intrinsic value
8. Security
9. Rage
10. Fear
