Haven't read the thread so probably miles away from where it's at right now but I noted that 1) The Wife was always conservative (property and low risk pension scheme) 2) I started off medium to high risk (I suppose knowing that the wife was low risk allowed that), mainly bullion and shares. 3) As ...

Re: Investing
Time to go conservative in the US and invest in safer lower yield funds, while we weather an upcoming storm? Or is the current panic movement going to be short lived? And there are the elections. What are you talking about? Bonds? I think the current volatility will be short lived. Once inflation c...

Re: Irish Courts: U.K. not a safe country
You’ve got it completely confused. The UK is now taking nearly a million “legal” immigrants a year. Steadily increasing hundreds of thousands, every year for over 20 years. The boat people number in the tens of thousands and are a drop in the ocean, hyped up by the TPTB as a distraction, along with...

What was the reason for rejecting his fund? Because it was listed in the top 50 funds of a few platforms. He was well respected in the industry at the time.

I think Skelton was a poor choice given that he wasn't even a regular starter but that decision was fairly dry bittorm of all the shit decisions Eddie Moans made.
