Ryelodge, can a ranking even be negative? Looks more like some sort of 'score' rather than a ranking? Can you clarify please? We all remember that funny post you did where you mixed up ranges and averages!! Have you garbled rankings with scores this time? Can you also rank your own posts please? Love you, GRS

Dictionary definition of speculation: "investment in stocks, property, etc. in the hope of gain but with the risk of loss"
Yes that's what I do - we've not talked much on here about property investments but I suspect some of my property investments would absolutely infuriate Minerve!

Who is talking about investments? We are discussing speculation, which is what you are doing. You are not investing. You have no idea what investing is BECAUSE YOU ARE A CHIMP!

Stick to watching other men put little white balls in holes in the middle of fields.

You are no investor old boy. You are a speculator.

Minny,
So a man makes a load of investments, they fail, he then tells others to not make investments because they might fail, and you take that as some sort of gospel truth to follow religiously?? Really??? Good grief...

[brexitplus] 08/8/2018 22:02

So, do you think people are jealous of you?

[minerve] 08/8/2018 22:01

Wikipedia LOL

Not the best place for accuracy of information.

[minerve] 08/8/2018 22:00

Perhaps the quote was born out of the experience. Duh!

You have no idea what true due diligence is you numpty.

Oh dear getting. Just shows the importance of doing due diligence before quoting someone.

Bad mistake.

Oh dear Minerve!! From Wikipedia: "Twain made a substantial amount of money through his writing, but he lost a great deal through investments. He invested mostly in new inventions and technology. He was later declared bankrupt."

Maybe he bought too many negatively yielding bonds!!

[brexitplus] 08/8/2018 21:19

Minnie, do you somehow think people are jealous of you?

[minerve] 08/8/2018 20:52

Ha ha ha ha ha. 🤡

Ok, mr pedantic, the number is undefined, but let’s say I had a half-penny, which I didn’t, the % is much greater than yours.

Division by zero doesn't equal infinity you muppet. Thought I would just drop that one in too. Not very bright are you! :)

[brexitplus] 08/8/2018 20:09

Infinity%. No comment. Beats you by a mile. I bet you are really impressed.

[minerve] 08/8/2018 20:07

I'll be back soon to check if you've managed to figure it out! ;)

“There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate: when he can't afford it, and when he can.”

― Mark Twain

Read it and learn, chimps.

Me too GRS - really Minny, you need to get out more, develop some social skills and meet people, you’d be surprised by the variety of personae and attitudes out in the real world.

Also please bear in mind my attitude to risk and my reason for investment is none of your business, suffice to say it is a fun thing to do. It’s paid off my mortgage, added to my pension pot, paid for countless holidays, supported my family and still have more than enough to play with.

You, on the other hand, revel in other people’s misery, made all the more enjoyable if you (think you) could add to it.

[brexitplus] 08/8/2018 19:58

Ok, if you want to bandy numbers. I started with nothing, that is zero. Absolutely zero. I now have plenty. So if you divide what I have by zero I think my return is infinity%. Beat that.

And I really don’t care what you have.

[minerve] 08/8/2018 19:52

You do, for sure.

Minnie, who cares other than you.
