    no informed views, no, ILW, although I think I read on CNBC this morning that the price of silver crashed 10 per cent earlier this week.

    that will be jp morgan's naked shorting. the suppressed spot price is not relevant anyway, all that matters is how much someone will pay for your silver eagles on ebay after reading your ramping posts on here.

    including 20% increase for VAT, or not?

    Is silver worth investing in?
    Does anybody have any views?

    If only someone would write a really long post about it.

    Was it a post?

    Lord alive, I thought it was a freeform epic poem.

    Invest in arms.

    And private security firms.

    Seriously, with all the wars going on, and the inevitable social unrest, you'll make a packet.
    Long live the faces of t'wunty.

    i think you can charge 6 times the spot price and then add 20% on top for the VAT, as long as the buyer has read at least 6 ramping posts in the last 10 minutes.

    If only you'd've listened to me and invested in arms, eh?
    Arm Holdings profits up on tablet and smartphone sales

    _52005527_texasinstruments.jpg


    UK chip designer Arm Holdings has revealed strong first quarter profits, boosted by sales of smartphones and tablet computers.
    Profits before tax rose to £30.5m in the first three months of 2011, compared with £25.9m the year before.
    Arm's chip designs are used in many mobile devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, including Apple's iPad.
    The success of tablets recently prompted the world's largest chip maker, Intel, to enter the market.
    Intel said it would create its own chip specifically designed for tablet computers.
    Chip designs from Arm are used in hardware made by companies like Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung, Texas Instruments, Freescale, and Nvidia. During the past year, 1.15bn microprocessors were shipped based on Arm designs.
    "Shipments of Arm-processor based chips increased 33% on the same period last year driven by growth in smartphones, tablets, digital TVs and microcontrollers," said Arm chief executive Warren East.
    "Arm's revenue growth enables us to continue to invest in innovative technology development at the same time as delivering strong increases in profits and cash flow," he added.
    Microsoft recently announced that it would make its Windows operating system compatible with chips designed by Arm.
    Long live the faces of t'wunty.

    well i don't think we would have made that much money in the 5 minutes since your 'advice'.

    the time to invest in arm holdings was a lot longer than 5 minutes ago.

    Or failing that, if someone is unable to write, they might cut and paste somebody else's work, and post it.
