Easy Money

[nail-Z]

I know what you've done here. VERY clever. I can't believe I didn't see it sooner. You're trying to teach everyone a lesson about gambling.

You've done all you can to convince people that Stocks & Shares isn't gambling, despite knowing in your own mind that it is. You plant a tip that may draw in a few unsuspecting punters to buy Pipex at a premium price. Within days their world falls apart as they lose 25-30% of their investment. Money they can't afford to lose.

You continue to preach that it's a good thing, "they'll be sold off and you'll be quids in" etc... but what you really want is for people to stew in their own stupidity for taking your advice. After all, there's no such thing as a sure winner, eh!

Any day now you will be announcing your evil scheme to the world, and everybody will bow down to your superior self. But what you won't be sharing with us is that you've made a 50% return on your Ocean Finance stock, by making a few others remortgage their property at extortionate rates to pay for their equity shortfall.

Come on Beachy - time to own up. Because NOBODY would be stupid enough to actually believe the stock market isn't a gamble.

:rumbled:

If that is my plan I am surely no more guilty than Uncle Spielberg ?

There's a man you'll never out do.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Not strictly true Beachy. Spielberg has pulled out a few winners!

So is this

So is this

The tip was when the share price was 17p and it is now 13p. Unless I don't understand the basics of the stock market, I would put my neck on the line and say it is a loser....at the moment!

On the subject of shares. I have some in Invensys - They crashed along with Marconi and have not recovered yet.

Loser for some but not all

 

[Bozza]

Depends what Tiscali pay me

11.5p today I note.

 

[Bozza]

Tipped at 17p (when the buy price was 17.25p).

Today 10.563p.

Percentage of your money you'd have lost on this 'sure thing' so far: 40%.

Nice work Beachy!

oh well lifes a GAMBLE, wish I'd gone for one of US donkeys now though

If you want to make money from the stock market at the moment i'd suggest selling a call option on the FTSE. Sell Sep-07 6425 calls at 56. If the market isn't above 6481 on 21st Sep you are in profit (ignoring transaction costs). Any level below 6425 you make 56 points. Current market level approx 6120. It's a GAMBLE but I can't see a rally of that magnitude by Sep expiry given whats happening in the credit market. Fill your boots and take advantage of these high volatility levels.

By the way, you have not been charged for this information.

I will confess this is a problem and await bail out from Tiscali

That sounds like a gamble.

Please step away from this thread - we're all shrewd investors here.

The technical term for that particular options strategy is a "Jimmy Winner" They never fail.

sell silver

 

[Lokki 7]

sell silver

Think I mentioned that buy when it was about $10.50. Now 12.50. Still a buy by the way.

if you want a proper tip... buy shirt numbers corner supremacy in the Gretna v Morton game tonight at 14.5 with Spreadex... Morton's right winger who got most of their corners last year (and wears No. 26) is out injured and Gretna have been using a 4-2-4 formation in their first 2 games and got 9 corners in both of them... nailed on - expect it to make up at least 40...

I believe that this particular gamble took a step in the right direction today?
