    Well, we aren't born knowing this stuff, and I ask a fair few stupid questions of my own from time to time.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    I know that!

    I wasn't trying to belittle people who come on here asking questions - that's what the forum is for and if I know the answer, I'll always try to help :)

    I once worked for an organization which (inter alia) dealt in gilts - if you were in that division, you were said to be working "on the stock side".
