A serious question for AtW

[AtW]

If you knew even half as much as you claim to you'd have made millions by now and wouldn't be posting on here.

That's irrelevant statement - I am talking about things that were totally wrong, short term yet with high rewards for participants in the City (many of whom will now be fired).

yawn.

- I studied economics in real world, seeing how economical policites work or not, how they backfire, how banks are affected, etc etc etc.
?

Yet you have made no money in spite of two booms (dot com and housing).
Theoretical "knowledge" of economics is only useful if some idiot pays you to spout it a lecture theatre or something.
Get prosperous or stop spouting.

HTH

Didn't you say you were off to spout your 'knowledge' as a 'lecturer'? It's the yoof of today I feel most sorry for.

Well, I was a work permit and this limited things a bit. Dot com tanked about 8 months since I took on it anyway.

As for housing I felt that it would be wiser to have good savings first in the bank, and after a few years when I had them I felt house prices went up way too much to justify such cost, so I opted to continue saving money.

I don't see relevancy of your accusation anyway - just because someone is rich that does not make them a good person and I am not actually an advocate of "get rich quick" schemes, so I don't see how me not screwing people over for money affects my position.

PS SKA ain't going to do it.

PS SKA ain't going to do anything.

Sorry, had to correct you a bit

[AtW]

PS SKA ain't going to do it.

Why are you so concerned about it? I am investing my own money into it, I don't claim benefits, I don't screw over investors, I don't screw over companies i process of my work that I enjoy a lot.

You seem to fail to understand that for some people creative interesting challenging work is more important than lots of money.

Yet despite this you display a complete obsession with it. Odd that...

ah I see, I got it all wrong - you want to be a good person.
Why not give up SKA and join a monastery or the priesthood then?
After all what is SKA going to do, it ain't going to save the world or cure cancer, is it?
