I have Aviva shares in a single company pep and despite what Geoff thinks, I have to warn you I have the opposite touch to Midas where individual shares are concerned (Railtrack, Kingston communications, BT although to be fair Boots, Scottish and Newcastlle and IG Index did well)
It is OK I have sold, I only hold Shell and BP and a tiny bit of SL now

i know a familiy with two cars - i'm going to speak to them tonight to let them know how you feel and suggest car sharing or selling one of their cars.
you were much chirpier when HPI was negative. are you sure that you're ok?
That's a stupid comparison. Cars are inessential and mass produced without restrictions.
Chirpier? I've rarely posted on this forum in many months, postive or negative HPI.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
I take exception to this. HPCers have taken delight in people losing their jobs, having their houses repossessed, people going bankrupt and watching our economy get destroyed just so they can buy a cheap house.
I don't want the housing market to collapse because I don't want to see people lose their homes and jobs...what is warped is your attitude imho.
People losing their jobs is a consequense of the economic bubble and HPI. Not bust without the preceeding boom. You've got your argument entirely backwards.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

i'm sure that the environment is far more important than HPI...0 -

not all, but i dare say a good many reposessions will be as a result of people being lent far far more than they ever should have a few years ago, and now beginning to find it extremely difficult with repayments, as decent mortgage rates are unavailable, and the threat of unemployment hanging over them (if not already made unemployed)Please take the time to have a look around my Daughter's website www.daisypalmertrust.co.uk

i dont know what makes you think i would know?! :rotfl:how's graham doing? he popped over to hpc.co.uk and has joined the cult... is he ok
we may both have negative, 'wallowing in self pity' rants at times, but i think thats where the connections end....
eta: in light of todays increase, maybe i should go join the cult too, that will cheer me up :beer:We cannot change anything unless we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses. Carl Jung
