    Gold? I see no reference to gold. There used to be lots of threads about putting cash into gold.

    Sheeple should invest 10% of their wealth in gold, what with hyperinflation just around the corner, it's better than holding fiat currency. We're not out of this W shape recession yet. The recent recovery is a bull trap. This bubble is gonna burst, BTL scum are finally going to get their comeuppance. Clown has got this country into real trouble. TIMBER!!!

    It will be worse than in Aberdeen. The fundamentals just aren't there. With unemployment being a lagging factor and the conservatives coming to power tax hikes will follow, there's a winter of financial discontent coming.
    At least the dole scoungers can sit at home ogling sarah beenies breasts.

    Do I get a hundred points for areticles posted by Hamish where he only reads the first 2 paragraphs of the article and so accidentally posts a negative piece? There's been a few of them!
