It's gross incompetence that is.
How the **** they only opened twice as much positions? They'd make FAR more money if they oversold it 10 or 20 times at least.
Sack them bankers I say.Comment

Never understood the fascination with gold as an investment - it pays no income, it costs money to hold it and it has no real value other than peoples perception.
I would rather invest in companies that do something that turns a profit etc.
Mind you I could see an advantage if the British public are stupid to vote in labour again, one way of keeping your cash from the grabbing hands of Ed Balls."The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." CiceroComment
