Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Flipping hope so db. The problem is when one has thousands waiting to come into fruition for years then why take another gamble but I have and we shall see. Lets hope your correct. If not well mmmmm! sunning myself won't be on my agenda.

Fingers crossed 3 monkies the Fed dont mess up this time.

Well gf I am sure the Fed haven't messed up everything else that I have invested in and most of us have bought into if they were truthful. Anyway Opay was up today, another long awaited one in my books, so be it the Yanks but a stop to that one with their gaming legislation. Did not contemplate the African airline company. Keep enjoying your jollies.

i doubt very much we'll see interest rates rise this year, or only 0.25% at very most and at very end of year

What interests me is that although I am doing little or no trading at the moment and I have not being churning my portfolios very much, my recovery over the last 12 months has been remarkably good. (About 30-40%, even after a drop of about 5% over the last 2-3 weeks.)


Usually, I would have be trading over short periods (not day) and paying the stockbroker his whack for doing so.

But getting the timing right over the period was too difficult and feel sometimes better to hold, sweat and occasionally curse.

It would seem unless you are either smart, or lucky, sometimes going for the simpler stuff is beneficial, ie, high yielding stock with money in their bank to pay out is worthwhile.

Still expecting a kick in the teeth, which I haven't seen coming.

Interest rises in the US often lead to a rise in the main indicies. It's a sign of household/consumer confidence returning apparently.

Are interest rates really the big issue from the Fed today? Surely rates aren't the issue (nobody expects any change), and the market is going to be far more interested in what he's got to say about tapering QE sooner rather than later, especially given the recent rhetoric by some of those close to him.

And if you're worried about equity markets, I'd personally be as equally (if not more) concerned about failing Abenomics and the fact that the average tenure of the last 10 Japanese PMs is 419 days.

this is what the uk should do bring back the noose
well done to the Kuwaitis

i take it you're also in favour of all the following ......
birching or flogging with cat-o-ninetails for more serious misdemeanours
public pillory for fairly minor infringements of the legal code
chopping off of limbs or other parts for theft - in public after full-time at footy stadia i guess
hang, draw and quarter for most serious offenses

Cynic it isn't all that long ago that they used to chop peoples hands of if they committed theft - (right hand if right handed and visa versa) in Saudi for stealing, am I correct?

the world is in a mess because of DOGOODERS if dogooders are so concerned about
these scum then go out in the streets and reform them but they will not .
libs are what they are not in my back garden

an eye for an eye SAUDI AS IT CORRECT

3m - to the best of my knowledge it remains a popular alternative to the forbidden cinema after prayers on friday evening! ...... stoning for adultery is probably more of a "cup final" event ...... big difference is that tickets are free and unlimited


hey, MrT, how about letting us know if you would be in favour of my suggested punishments for assorted misdemeanours ..... you've rather ducked the direct answer - no chance of ducking in the pillory though

cynic
What about limb removal for posting aggressive and racist comments?

hands for written incitement; tongue for verbal!

criminals should pay the price .and it should be done on Saturday afternoons at football games to tell the world crime will not pay .
that is the answer . Kuwaiti is correct in the way they deal with crime we should do the same .
hope that tells you my views

Tanker dear, we have known your views for years. We all have views but certainly wouldn't voice them all on here. It is extremely dangerous but you don't listen.

The Death Penalty

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDO6HV6xTmI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

over 78% of the british public want the death sentence back and would vote for it

True, but they will not get it. The majority of civilised countries have abandoned the death penalty or are heading that way. It is a trend that will not be reversed.
