Does anyone know what the handle is today?

Fork handles?

One wonders what the glossary term would be for someone who's down 10%-30% YTD suggesting that another investor doesn't know what they're doing despite the other investor being in positive territory YTD.

I would be more interested if you excluded all new money

This year gold, silver and cash are all up a bit in GBP terms
Almost everything else is down.

Yup, isn't that what I said

However if I remember you also own or owned crypto and some junior miners which are down a fair bit. I'm unsure how with all of that you are still positive, unless you are counting new money

Can you provide links to the fund pages. I'm not accusing you of lying or anything i'm just interested to have a look at those funds.

10-30%? That's nothing. I'm expecting to be down 80% by the end of the year.

One wonders why such an expert and veteran investor like yourself feels the need to gloat about your successes on a relatively insignificant corner of the internet.

The glossary term for that is insecure and lonely.

Unless of course you're just making it all up. In which case, the glossary term for that is also insecure and lonely.

Something like Mircea Popescu Bitcoin billionaires drowned off the coast of Costa Rica at the age of 41 in July 2021. He left behind a bitcoin fortune estimated to be worth more than $2 billion which will live with him in eternity.

Didn't know about that one. Nakamoto disappears, Ruja "Cryptoqueen" Ignatova is missing presumed wearing a concrete overcoat, Popescu gets rekt by a riptide, McAffee hangs himself. Never mind carbon omissions, there seems to be growing evidence that Bitcoin is seriously bad for your health even if you're a winner.
