    Not widely published? Don't make me laugh.
    Tell me where you get your info that the bods in the city can't get.
    Or would you have to kill me?



    I'm surprised you need brakes. I'd have thought you'd be coasting to a stop long before it was obvious you needed to brake.

    Oh don't worry I will when I get bored but I do love the "experts" who often speak of "certainty" or that they "guarantee" something will happen.


    None of them put their money where their mouth is of course.

    It's a bit weird to start a thread like this with the title it has.

    I am trying to learn =NOT= I know everything.

    Bizarre.

    I love to learn and I love to help others to learn.

    I'm not interested in 'I'd like to learn', "xxx", 'Ooh, I don't like that but I won't say why', "xxx", 'you're a bit of an aaaaaarsse' etc.

    I'm always happy to help but I won't waste my time.

    I would explain the whizz-bang surefire option trade I devised last week.....but I won't cos

    1. The OP wouldn't understand it
    2. I only understand it after 2 bottles of Gevry Chambertin
    3. It won't make any money, cos none of my option strategies ever do :eek:

    I asked on a thread for you to explain something and you didn't. Now I know why. :(

    I thought i could play the market last year and lost 20k on euros....not been back in since...its too volatile for the small players..
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
