Question for Wednesday:

When will ND update us on his silver shenanigans after the 20% fall?

MT - Nailing your colours to he mast early, is that wise? Plenty of time for another flock of black swans in this eventful year.

Nick Drew said...

hah ! Timbo

well I made a quick turn on Monday (see comments here), figuring the vertical downward movement overnight was an over-done Osama effect

since then, obviously it's been carnage

rightly or wrongly, I have however hung on to long-term PM holdings, which are still way in profit (though less so than on last Friday !)

taking my portfolio as a whole, the PMs are somewhat a hedge for USD holdings and since the $$ rose after Osama they are in reasonable balance, thus far

but many more days of this ... needs to be kept under close review: dangerous times

I expect it is all someone else's fault

Timbo614 said...

"plenty of support around 43, you'll notice" - hmmm :( good luck!

Mark Wadsworth said...

1. How did you vote in the AV referendum?

2. Does Bin Laden shenanigans make terrorist attack on UK more likely?

3. Should that copper who attacked Ian Tomlinson be prosecuted?

4. Should Charles step aside to allow Wills to become the next King?

5. Should cars be banned on Sunday so that children can play in the street?

Carrying a small cash reserve folded at the back of one's purse is the right of every woman (and therefore man) who might be faced with the need for getting-home-safely money or an unexpected shopping opportunity; so why has it become a capital offence when one is confronted by US navy seals?

What did we ever do to Mervyn King that he encourages roaring inflation and refuses a reasonable return on savings?

"Tightly-knit groups of politically-motivated men" was a phrase used by Harold Wilson, so is that why David Cameron doesn't act against them as they threaten to wreck our transport system in London, indeed in any part of the economy and the country?

It is not possible, within our cultural and consumer terms, to feed a family of four on £50 a week, so does the panel think that proposing the feeding of children with jam on toast and over-cooked spaghetti is the final condemnation of the Labour years?

Two referendums in nearly four decades and both of them an irrelevant waste of time; does the panel think we ought to understand our own constitution better and reform it in our own, native ways rather than indulging and deflecting in European Union-style political undertakings?

And (breaking the four questions only barrier)

Would the panel, were it the RAF - go on, make an imaginative effort, sing 'Dambusters' under your breath - prefer their officers not to appear as Colonels of the Irish Guards just because the uniform is prettier?

Botogol said...

1 - is assassination justified as a tactic against terrorists?

2 - now that OBL is dead should we leave Afghanistan?

3 - was the AV referendum all a terrible mistake by the Lib Dems, and doom for the coalition?

4 - should Boris bring in the Army to drive the tube trains?

5 - do the presenters of politcal TV programmes have a special right to privacy?

Dick the Prick said...

AV and other elections, natch, with perhaps a bit of focus on Jockland

Bin Liner desposed of and Afghanistan withdrawal

Pakistan aid money - whassat all about?

Nick Clegg maybe although that could be a bit full frontal so maybe how can the coalition survive, thrive etc?

Terrorism, is Libya just another reason why we should expect terrorism or something i.e. do we create terrorism (it is the bbc so just thinking nutty)

measured said...

1. AV and the rift. Was it worth it? 
2. Bin Laden Why is Pakistan upset and the US coy?
3. Libya Can we now go get Gaddafi?
4. Will terrorism flourish? Arab spring v. A.Q. 
5. Super injunctions. What don't we know about you? 

I am on the move, hence the brevity. The Americans won't catch me....

ffff - hard to be original this week (though HG as usual puts us all to shame)

1. should the beeb really be spending big £££ (our £££) on star talent ? (pace Lord Patten)

OK that was me trying hard, but it's downhill all the way from there

2. should we withdraw aid from Pakistan ? etc etc in an Osama vein

3. will the coalition split over the lost AV vote ?

4. didn't she look lovely ? (and happy !) - plus a big beeb bucket of cold water to follow: should Charles step aside ?

5. should the G20 plod face prosecution ?
