Today I got the cash from the ARM sale. Bought at £9.99 a share, sold at £17 a share. Ker-ching!

so you made £7.01....

more info needed i reckon!

It is nothing to do with him. Presumably he sold it and made a packet - he is hardly in a position to deny others the same privilege.

And the last bit of silver gets sold off.

A non-story like when the mini brand was sold to BMW?

BMW also own the Triumph car brand.

A few years ago they touted around a new design for a brand new Spitfire...There's irony for you
