I always imagine Asheron does live in a house made of gold. 9 carat probably.0 -
does this mean that at other times you do take the p1ss?
i'm disappointed in you cleaver - i thought better of you
I'm always deadly serious chucky, you know that. I make dopester look like Timmy Mallett.you need to watch Trading Places again - it's a complete education in how to short orange juice on a trading exchange
I can't watch it again, as I haven't ever seen it. I will check it out (although not really much of a film fan).0 -
I ask as a genuine question and not to take the p*ss. How would one go about investing in orange juice or garlic? Obviously you could do your research and invest in a company that manufactures or sells these items, but is there any type of futures or general market where you would invest in,
Just for you.

There are orange juice futures.0 -
Thanks very much for that Really.
It's nice to see the price of Orange Juice falling to a level that makes it available to normal, hard-working families again. I was chatting to a friend of mine recently who had to ask his bank for five times his salary just to buy a carton of Tropicana. He's in negative equity now and I can see him having to sell and downgrade to a concentrate substitute.
It's a shame.0 -

A frenchman with some garlic got a better investment return last year than the goldbugs like Asheron and Lisbonlaura.
Absolutely priceless.:D
As ever the strutting pillock assumes that some of us only have gold.
You are so wrong silly boy.
BTW:- you missed platinum from your extensive list HM.
I admit I didn't get my in/out timing spot on with it, but 182% wasn't bad.0 -

Why do I not find that remotely surprising......but 182% wasn't bad.
Should have gone with garlic.....
Although I doubt that would help your in/out timing either.:D“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Don't you have to pay VAT on platinum & silver because they're classed as an industrial product? If you buy these metals then don't you have to have a 17.5% gain before you break even?"I can hear you whisperin', children, so I know you're down there. I can feel myself gettin' awful mad.
