    My lad told us earlier that him & his bird have dabbled since they started Uni & they’re now up over £80K each on their initial investment.

    I could be tempted.

    That's better then a kick in the nuts isn't it! All id say is only dabble with what your comfortable potentially losing and just to remember it's still extremely volatile and you'll see some some large drops, but long term most expect it to race past 100k coin.... JP Morgan expect 146k

    I had this bizarre dream last night where I'd lent my whole wedge to a bloke called Sub Prime who then invested it in a tulip growing business based in a South Sea.

    I then lost the lot.



    **** knows what this could mean, like.






    Anyway, I'm away to invest in an NSandI bond at a steady 0.35%.

    I don’t pretend to understand any of it but fair play to them. It’s a good leg up for when they finish Uni.

    Definitely! Not many will leave uni with that kind of money behind them, it's a great start to life for them and potentially a great house deposit etc

    It may well need a revision of the lyrics... "The easier they come, the easier they fall."

    tikka,tikka,tikka timing. long time since I listened to that. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Great line in there "...Isabella hadn't hocked her jewels in 1492". There was a nifty investment.

    One of the songs that was always on when you mooched through Joyland when it was released. As was his Handyman.
    I like the assumption by the writer of the song that back then that people would know who Queen Isabella was and why she hacked her jewels and what it led to. There would be some scratching of heads now.
