  • Martin, etc

    I really think that you should blame the Treasury, if you need to blame anyone.

    Of course, you could be a troll and making all this up.

    My thoughts exactly. Don't Feed the Troll, as they say.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)
  • i'm sorry, but I must be missing something here.... I've just had to reregister under a similar name but what EXACTLY has Martin done to deserve these hate attacks?

    Where were the 'ooh you're no expert' attacks when HBOS got bought out? How many other banks have been bought out/gone under in the past few weeks, heck, days? Did anyone gripe then? Probably... Now because Martin and others had suggested Kaupthing etc as best buys FOR INTEREST, Not safe haven for 40 million quid TFL! you're trolling on here!

    He's a journo, he's not God, he's not the Icelandic Chancellor, he's not even Mystic Meg for Gods sake. tell me please where one person 3 months ago was suggesting Leaman(sp?) Bros etc would go belly up? Heck, MSNBC relied heavily on the advice of the 'experts' at US Banks that have now eiither gone Kaputhing, or beeing bought out!

    Btw, I had 6K in Kaupthing, having transferred 1K early May, and transferred another 5 early-mid Sept... Talk about timing!

    Listening to Jeremy Vine today, you'd think anyone that had money in any non-UK based and isolated from reality bank, was a snivelling scrooge that had tried to Tax Dodge the beloved UK Govt, and would sell their grandkids to slavery for a euro.... It was unbelieveable!
  • Just logged on and it still says Kaupthing Edge not ING?
    Also, it still states 6.55% interest rate.
    Will this continue as ING are paying less?
  • THIS IS NOT MARTINS FAULT

    These banks were AA rated, Do you think that all the councils, police etc followed Martins advice? NO, they paid consultants lots of money for the same advice M gives for free.
    Has anyone lost a single penny yet, NO.
    Its just going to take a while for this to get sorted but you will get your money back.

    I have £70k in limboland - split between the two and I don't blame martin
