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.

For the first and last time in my life I will buy a copy of the News of the World tomorrow.

Morbid curiosity maybe but not as an investment as they are are printing 5m of them.

I wonder how long it will take before they are being offered on ebay?

Martini


Blimey, a name from the past..

Off to get the last news of the world. May be worth a fortune in time. lol

News of the World.

Good riddance.

I like the thank you and goodbye. I don't feel sorry for them. Goodbye and good riddance.

It may be appropriate before you lord Cameron and Osborne's mismanagement of the economy too much, to look at the charts of the Pound sterling against the Euro, since the torie coalition party con the electorate into voting for them.

Don't believe the crap that devaluation is good for the UK.

It has potential to stimulate an economy initially, but the devaluation without some inflation usually comes back to haunt it.

This government's policies has choked off the UK economic recovery, which was occurring prior to their election. The rate of recovery is slowing and the rates are slower.


If you can't recognise this try reading the Money markets data.

Aids,

If you got gold right, which you are continually crowing about, give us the name of your financial advisor, as I doubt the decisions you made were down to you.

Fred your post 11484, Sorry for 5 mins later saying good riddance. I did not read your post before. Now that has worried me, the posts much the same. DC

I had better get down the docs. lol

dreamcatcher - Nah your fine mate, It used to puzzle me to when Fred was actually, now and again clear and easily understood, capable of clear thought. Looked up the word lucid in the Collins English Dictionary and was most reassured to learn that within the definition, were the words 'particularly between periods of insanity or delirium'. Guess Fred's medication is working today.

Fred

I don't have a financial advisor , and i don't pay anyone for advice. Some thing's are so obvious like China and India would need more resources , my best performing share at the moment is KMR

Gold.

With the US printing trillion's of Dollar's and the fall of the Euro zone [ also obvious ] there is only one way for gold and that is up. My core holding is CEY now at the price i paid when i bought back into them. Most of my other's which are recent buys are down and awaiting drilling results ect: CLF , KIBO ,STI ,KYS and a outright punt on SHEBA [ PLUS ] dealing cost's very high and only one MM.

Also invested in TSTR , looking for rare metal's in Turkey

And Palm oil producer PAL , this would be my tip for recovery.

The rest are oil companys , top core investment Afren

Well, I hope you are lucky with AFR.

Dreams,

If you don't change and wait long enough, they may come for you.

I must admit that in general "Phone hacking" doesn't worry me to much.

And the "moral" indignation surrounding some of the NW "amuses" me.

When printing their current outrage (in order to please or increase the number of their readers), it seems to me, that the "virtuous" press is often publishing photos of the "victims", in order to satisfy the "salacious" public.

The photos I would think, iif seen by "victims" or "families" generate further "pain".

Also, in "true" investigative journalism, if the the information found is relevant, or pertinent to the actions of the person in their public deeds, then in general, I would not be too critical of how it was obtained, as long as it did not involve, threats, coercion., physical, or mental torture, bribery, or corruption.

Also, that it was not falsely interpreted. The latter may be difficult for some.

Again, there has to be a body, which can investigate any abuses which are not in the public interest, with a course of actions open to it, to punish any abuse of the individual, deemed by the journalist for the "public good".

Journalism does have a responsibility to protect, or make the public aware of corporate, political, or governmental abuse.

I think government and political leaders should be monitored, If they do the act, or say the piece, then I can see no reason for the public knowing of it.

If the don't like it, don't do it.

My fear is that this "scandal" may be seen by the corporate body as an opportunity to secret itself even more from public observation.

May be of interest to some.

It seems that some have views similar to mine, while others bury their heads in the sand.

Where is my spade.

Rupert Murdoch may sell his entire newspaper empire in Britain, but he will not walk away from his more profitable pay-TV interests and remains committed to acquiring BSkyB, according to City sources.

The tycoons son James, the publisher of his British titles, shut the News of the World last week in the wake of the phone hacking scandal. The newspaper published its last edition today. What happened at the News of the World might have happened at the Sun, too, a City source said yesterday. It is a serious possibility that all the newspapers could be sold,' reports the Mail on Sunday.

--------------------

Britains economy may have shrunk by as much as 0.2% over the past three months, raising fresh concerns about the impact of the governments tax rises and spending cuts.

Economists tore up their growth forecasts on Friday afternoon in the wake of disappointing figures for manufacturing and construction. Citigroup, one of the worlds biggest banks, and Scotia Capital expect the Office for National Statistics will report GDP growth of -0.2% in the second quarter, according to the Sunday Times.

PS.

I shouldn't think it, but I wonder if Cameron and Osborne are helping the shorters.

How did this little squirrel survive this?

Clearly a fake.

Does it run more like a cat? They tend not to run in a straight line. Can't make up what way they wan't to go. Then splat!

The draught from the car would have knocked it off course alone. If you play it and stop it then you can see it is a fake.

This is getting very tech. lol

The posts below don't shout fake
