    . Chucky is offensive. He has an extremely nasty side to him. He accused me of spending my life "ripping people off". Then admitted that he got me muddled up with another poster. He is not decent or mature enough to apologise. Will I lose sleep, shouldn`t think so.......lol
    I think that's one view that unites everyone on this forum. viz that chuckey is a right nasty piece of work. Quite a few on either side enjoy a bit of banter but chuckey/bruno takes it way beyond the pale and is an obvious sicko

    The only way it'll stop is if people ignore ad hominem attacks. That's easier said than done.

    Why do you think that ordinary people will see property as the only way to protect their savings ??

    It has never been that case in the past, property prices go up when greed sets in, it's not asset protection driven.

    The events of the last 12 months will hardly make property the #1 choice for those seeking to preserve wealth.

    I agree that we're going to se massive inflation and that we're going to enter an inflationary depression, not a recession.

    The problems are that a) most people have no savings; b) Many people will lose their jobs and have no income; c) People will be spending all of their disposable income on necessities like food and energy, & d) the country will end up bankrupt.


    Mark my words, in 18 months to 2 years time we will have a 1 World (or at least a Western World) currency and you'll all be queuing up to get your microchip inserted - physical money will no longer exist, and consequently there will be no black market for Gold and other assets, since no one will have any physical money with which to buy it off you.

    That someone thinks you're an idiot doesn't mean they 'support' the people you're attacking. If you can't get your head around the fact that people might think you're an idiot because you write nasty things rather than because they're ganging up on you or something you're never going to be a constructive part of any debate.

    to make it fair I also think you're a bit of an idiot too. always changing your stance to be nice to other posters and to back them up reflects in maybe your lack of a back bone.

    this probably reflects (please forgive me if i'm wrong) that you're someone that has failed in the City environment a number of times. knowing how to manage a process doesn't mean that you can manage an environment or even manage people. i would imagine that you were moved into positions due to the time you were at a firm rather than being good at something (as you well know Goldmans have a very high atrition rate due to people being 'moved on'). i hope that i've been constructive here, because i would never have said the above if you had not made your previous comments and i believe this is a suitable reply to yours- can you now get your head around this?

    it's not a bad way to be at all, but thanks for the comments Gen - it's amused me ;)
