How are you ADVERT
I am going on holiday ADVERT soon ADVERT


However IF I was to buy some shares then I can guarantee, the site will fail within two weeks

(Mum died sold house with a struggle reduced to £50k, four months later house price boom and current owner sold it for £90k a year later, I invested the cash on the stock market two months before 9/11, FTSE at 6312 Now at 4337, and still not yet recovered Lucky white heather wife dog and seven kids to support)

Never looked at Facebook so I doesn't mean anything to me.

 

Wonder how long the bit that says

"Sign up, its free & always will be."

Will be on there when it gets sold.

 

if you still have shares and your broker has not contacted you to switch your funds to money market or advising to short by buying warrants, slap him and fire him .... I bet you that he has done so with his own money

markets are about to crash big time again .... I trade my whole pension in south africa on unit trusts and switch between gold funds and money market ... been doing that for many years now and average 20-38% per annum

I've now put all my money in money market (3 1/2 weeks ago) where it's safe .... even gold will crash ... then I will pounce (again).... bear in mind that I don't buy physical gold, but buy unit trusts in comapnies that mine gold, so its a bit different

if I had a lot of spare cash, I'd now e buying gold coins and silver coins (physical)

I follow a site that is pretty accurate, and this is their latest:

I see that this report is now being discussed on another 'conspiracy' forum aswell

also bear in mind that the US has just voted for bill 458 and have approved war with Iran (401 to 11 votes)

add that to the fact that Greece will most prob exit the Euro and other countries will most prob follow suit

so fasten your seatbelts ... markets may get a bit bumpy

 

Thanks for the info
Still got the shares only they are managed by RBS he just told me they were bad, and to keep an eye on the market and bail out when it gets near my initial investment

Then recommended I put my retirement lump sums in his guaranteed bonds ?

The shares have never got anywhere near my intial investment in the past 15 years so there is not much chance they will now

I do not think I would buy physical gold at the moment as gold prices are at there very highest ever, they can only go down ?

Now if I could get some investment in our local RAYTHEON factory that would be good
(they make missiles) :-)

All this finance talk, yet there is something bigger, and more spooky than finance here.

According to forecasts, Facebook will have 1 BILLION registered users by august this year. Growth is then expected to slow significantly, as quite literally, there aren't that many more people in the world with regular internet access. I wonder what it says about people in general, when such a large proportion, 1/7 of us, feel the need to be on a single internet site. Even worse, given that Facebook makes its money by effectively selling people's souls to the marketeers, and if I had to guess I'd say at least 25% of users know this, I'm not quite sure what it says about us.

 

I find FACEBOOK too invasive - like a nosey, prying, curtain Kate neighbour. I am NOT a fan,
