    Hmmm - nice post Cleaver. I've been absent for a while but I knew I could rely on you to provoke my thoughts! Thought I was going to agree with Heyman but then he/she had to spoil it with the 'Chelski' bit. Not to worry along comes mbga whom I have to agree with purely because of the X and Bin Laden factors. Got nothing more to add because all of the FTSE and Dow and interesty thingys are giving me a headache just thinking about them. It's all beyond me and I'm happy to remain ignorant!

    Your attempts at witty reposts may play well to the crowd but they fail to impress me.

    Are you afraid of the truth?

    Or are you genuinly unaware?


    I'm just wondering why you deleted your post that I quoted in post #8 of this thread..............

    Ridicule is one thing, but at least have a go back.

    What makes you think it was me that deleted the post?

    Can you borrow something that doesn't exist? It must have some intrinsic value.
    If the markets don't value the borrowed asset correctly that's their problem.

    Despite your further attempts at humour, you still haven't convinced me that you know or understand what I'm talking about.

    So let's leave it at that.
