        If you can affrord to leave it there, I think in about 2-3 years time you'll be having a very good laugh. I put about £1000 into gold 18 months ago. Not at all concerned. Just be patient.

            5. The Treasury yield curve, which measures the spread between 2 and 10 year notes, is narrowing.

              WHS, assuming the Government doesn't confiscate it all by then.

                  There was a lorry driver on R4 talking about the immigrants getting more aggressive trying to get a ride across the pond. He now carried a self defence weapon... A cricket bat! Love it.
                  I heard that too. I thought to myself 'I bet he's armed with a lot more than a fecking bat and he's not going to fess up about it on the BBC either'. Tazer would be my guess.

                    Dogs of footies didn't do to well this year Dogs of The Footsie 2015 portfolio | Money Observer I had Direct Line but sold way, way to early god damn it, after 3 years investing in shares (and not small amounts) I'm out thank of it and lucky to come out flat. As a small private investor its all down to luck imo, the market makers can still move the markets they way they want at the cost of the smaller investors.
                    I like big butts and I cannot lie.

                      I can see why:

                      BHP Billiton (BLT) 69 £14.43 £510.19 -485.48 (-48.76%)
                      BP (BP.) 236 £4.245 £821.75 -180.07 (-17.97%)
                      Centrica (CNA) 340 £2.938 £691.90 -307.02 (-30.74%)
                      Direct Line Insurance (DLG) 320 £3.125 £1,298.56 +298.56 (+29.86%)
                      GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) 68 £14.67 £898.96 -98.60 (-9.88%)
                      HSBC Holdings (HSBA) 164 £6.096 £840.99 -158.75 (-15.88%)
                      Morrison (WM) Supermarkets (MRW) 556 £1.799 £788.41 -211.84 (-21.18%)
                      Royal Dutch Shell B (RDSB) 48 £21.045 £735.84 -274.32 (-27.16%)
                      SSE (SSE) 62 £16.09 £893.42 -104.16 (-10.44%)
                      Standard Chartered (STAN) 113 £8.877 £579.58 -423.52 (-42.22%)

                      Mining, Utilities and Energy heavy, these are seriously fooked market segments.

                      And Morrisons hammered by Aldi and Lidl.
