You gained a bit by not speculating in the property market too.

MF math: make £15k in 180 days (£83 per day), then lose £5.6k in 7 days (£800 per day), and it's acceptable ...

Actually it's not a linear progression. Plus it's about the return on investment on the amount risked. Equity Market is lethal at the moment and ive returned plus 20% in a market that's fallen 21% trading ranges. We can't all be geniuses like you and DP.

No wonder people never own up to making losses on CUK. MF's was a refreshing confession, but an irresistible invitation for know it all's to come out of the cupboard, both of whom are renters

I'm not renting now, I've bought a house for cash. Rents are rising fast, landlords are *****.

I would warrant that they already have more savings in their child trust fund, savings accounts, current accounts and 5 year bonds than you have as a deposit for your flat.

But I agree. At the moment its gambling.

Landlords certainly are *****ers. *****ers being bailed out by the government and renters twice.

How much and where?

What isn't gambling at the moment? Apart from cash which is a dead cert loss.

Secret location, £180K tulipbox (new house from desperate developer).

Plan is to await the property crash, which is due within the next 50 years and clean up with a mansion.
