When it dropped a bit more i might buy Iceland and rename it and declare myself King. Let me know when it falls below a monkey.

Gutted, I was hoping to be King of Iceland. I had a solution to the crisis. I was going to open shop in another country, con the punters into thinking it was safe 'cos the its no longer iceland its "PotsLand" and then use that money to pay back the punters that lost out. Then I was going to do the same again in a big circle that never ends and be lauded as a "financial inovator"

I also had a bizarre plan in regard to pickled fish futures contracts on the derivatives market that worked on the basis that the equation was to complicated for even Stephen hawkings to figure out and basically meant I could sell more fish that actually have ever existed in the whole of history. it was gonna be great.
