I think it's called high finance mate. I'm just sitting back, watching, and learning how it all works.

Sas,

no I still don't get it.

I guess this must mean you are right and I am wrong.

And I should therefore follow your example and get leveraged up.

Milan.

There's no right and wrong, Milan. Just as long as we can accumulate a decent pot of gold (sufficient to retire with) in a few years.

[milanbenes]

agreed.

Ok, what we will discuss now ?

Not sure what you boys are arguing about but I shall stick my oar in regardless. I too chose to invest in property and have managed to pay 85% of both mortgages (remaining debt is £50k) over the past 5 years. I fail to see how I will come a cropper should the market crash. Could someone explain to me why I am doomed?

[ratewhore]

Because of IR35. Have you not been listening...

[lORD lUCAN]

It only needs one stimulus. The fact is the property market is not sustainable. I can't wait...

SASGURU in, just call me Donald T mode, busy being a bell end again SAS

big con

You're talking about the fractional reserve banking system and the fiat currency (GBP) - once you understand how it works, you'll know it's the biggest scam going. I see it as part of an education process. A long time ago, I used to think retail banks (Barclays, etc) were decent companies that would look after you and not actively try to scam you. Now I know that to be untrue. It's the same thing with central banks and bankers, only on a bigger scale. Inflation is only 2% hah! What most people think of as inflation is ~8% (i.e. the growth in money supply M3/M4 (10%) minus GDP growth (2%))

Bob: most people think of inflation as the rise in price of a basket of household goods, like mars bars, ladies' thongs and PS2 players. Your definition seems more precise. Why isn't it more widely known or used?

(Wendo: I see what you mean, this is education!)
