Ok the count is ONE (1) for the Hamish Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) repost counter.
Expect many more threads being started by Hamish on the same information. Our team will be counting in their Aberdeen bunker.
Last CEBR news report led to Hamish creating 4,562 separate threads on same subject. Lets hope he can beat it this time before all of Aberdeen is plunged into negative equity.

The count is TWO (2) for the Hamish Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) repost counter. He has started two threads now with the CEBR material already posted by someone else.
Looks like he just can't help posting the same CEBR story time and time again. Will it the be the Halifax figures on Thursday be the only thing to silence him repeating this same story.:exclamatiScams - Shared Equity, Shared Ownership, Newbuy, Firstbuy and Help to Buy.

Of course you did.
It's a natural thing to do, unfortunately I did it with BT and just ended up losing more money, and lets not even mention railtrack or kingston communications. The days of me investing in individual shares are over. But I can well believe chucky would have averaged out, it's not uncommon.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

I was very lucky, I had quite a few BP and Shell and sold the BP and Shell at the end of the last tax year (crystalise gains for CGT) I filled my cash ISA and moved the rest back into Shell
Better to be lucky than good.I sold BP last week at 630, I going to increase my Shell stake, just waiting to see if we are having a correction.

My luck was that I just dabbled with a few thousand rather than invested a lot. Plus I was able to claim the loss against other capital gains.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -
Housing beats stocks and shares over the long term every time.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

That surely must be untrue? Are you saying that at every point in time over the last two hundred years house price gains have been better than stock market? So if you take any ten, twenty or fifty year period during that time house prices have outperformed shares?HAMISH_MCTAVISH wrote: »Housing beats stocks and shares over the long term every time.
