Hello Rob,

I'm not paranoid just realistic. Sorry it makes you uncomfortable but this whole mess makes me very uncomfortable. I received similar comments back in 2007 when I told people to get out of the markets. You may not be in the naive group as I truly do not know you so please accept my apology. If you don't believe groups of men conspire to attain wealth then I will retract the apology for you are incorrect. The word better suited may be the unknowing or the unwilling to believe for which most people would fit into one or the other category....
Thank you for a thorough, non-confrontational reply. I agree with everything you wrote - completely. I did from the beginning, you don't have to convince me of a conspiracy. Where we disagree is in the weight and significance of it.

With all the respect i'm sure he deserves, your old man was talking rubbish, please don't take that the wrong way.

Thatcher had an effect on this country and in some quarters it was initially very painful indeed. Then over time, the pain ebbed and her vision was proven to be well advised. She dragged the country off it's knees, dusted it down and gave it hope and self-confidence. To continue to attribute today's troubles to a woman who lost power 20 years ago, is madness. Do you see how silly that sounds?

What about Blair and Brown? Your old...

Can i get i get one thing straight with you.My opinion on politicians are they are all about as much use as a chocolate tea pot.Tony Blair was just a puppet and Gordon Brown,well where do you start with that idiot(current gold price $1730/oz).Can we just agree that good old Ronny and Maggy started the ball rolling by letting the Banks their Ceo's their salesmen and traders loose on the world?
I know a little old lady who had £80,000 in a savings account in 2005,who was quite happy earning her regular annual interest,knowing her money was safe.Then one day she gets a phone call from her bank(HSBC).The man on the end of the phone tells her that they have been reviewing her account and that he knew of a way that she could earn more interest on her account and that she should come into the bank to discuss this "wonderful investement opportunity".She goes into the bank and is convinced by this guy to invest all her savings in this new "sure thing".
Anyway to cut a long story short,in 2008 she gets a letter through the post from the bank that read "Dear Mrs P we regret to inform you that we are closing the fund that you money is invested in.We will transfer your remainig balance of £48,000 into your current account".
The lady knew that i had bought and sold some shares before and asked me to look at the statements of the account.When i looked at the paperwork ther was a list of all the trades that the bank had taken on her behalf.The amount of trades were unbelievable,ther were hundreds and hundreds of them.I don't think she or any other member of the public realised what they were getting themselves into,do you?
So my opinion is that the 1986 opening of the markets is now being felt.These people are robbing bastards,they have been allowed to do more or less what they want in search of short term profit,and mug punter joe publics are picking up the bill in more than one way.IT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW!

"IT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW!" That would equate to "AGAINST THEM".
