cannot spek for customs but you need to take eagles in the other direction, and bring something like britannias back.

given the NHS waiting times, here's a handy self diagnosis chart for common ailments

Quote

TikTok executives and representatives have noted and made aware to advertisers on the platform that users have poor attention spans. With a large amount of video content, nearly 50% of users find it stressful to watch a video longer than a minute and a third of users watch videos at double speed.

the other downside to the cashless society is that young folk can no longer do basic mathematics - and numerical/financial literacy to begin with

Staff in banks also no longer deal with fraud which is a pain , they give you a number to call and a woman in India takes the call 😆

isnt that where most of the frauds that the banks are protecting you from originate?

Lehman branded stuff is selling at a huge premium for every day things, such £40 for a notepad..

Looking on fleabay, the CS bars seem quite rare, especially in the UK.

thats true, i guess the holders of these bars can be glad that they didn't plummet in value 😛

It looks like after this weekend Credit Suisse will be no more, with shareholders and some bondholders losing out.

What will this mean for Credit Suisse branded gold and silver? Will it trade at a discount or premium due to its scarcity value?

its difficult to tell atm, at the current gold-silver ratio, and the gold-S&P ratio, both are strong buys at the moment, especially silver.

the premiums versus the paper price has decoupled for so long now, the paper price barely matters anymore.

are you okay midas?

all of this detracts from the fact that a lot of gold was Stollen.

Surely it should have read: "NEIN minute heist"? ☺️

do i detect an ounce of schadenfruede in your comment?

looks like a good deal, but you still paid above spot. a sign of the times i guess.

are there any products to buy this time round though?

meanwhile, at the JPM headquarters....

Almost like a different commodity's chart

well arguably it is - trying to get ahold of the shiny stuff at the stated price is a fools errand !

Speaking to one of my chimpanzees the other week.... I mean one of my friends!

Hairy friend says what does gold... a metal, do?  Why does it go up in value? It's only a metal!

So guys, what do I say to the chimpanzee (i mean computer analyst)?

how about the gold as a conductor arguement. i cant speak for how they are nowadays, but most earlier computers used a lot of gold for circuitry...

gooo uranium !

Nice one. I got the same with the following today (much more yesterday). 

BLOCK SQ - 10.16%
AFFIRM - 10.32%
CLOUDFARE - 11.74%
ARCA ABIO - 15-18%
RCON - 10.42%
FUBO - 7.25%
FASTLY - 6.28%
ROBLOX - 11.65%

The other 10 2-5% gains today all tech stocks which are supposed to be going down!! 

Makes me wonder if its just being pumped on the general gains from most sectors.
Mr Chicken can fill in the gaps in between on the market down days - if your not looking at that it looks like he is genius.  

ABIO I think could give 100-2000% gains soon - now thats a stock with tremendous upside - albeit it not worth more than 0.5% portfolio risk. 
Imagine the return from $2.31 to $300 even with £170. $15 is my target which is 600%.   

it looks like a closing of shorts, many of these stocks have been hammered hard.

whether or not they will retain much value in the longer term is still up for debate.

Take peleton for example, its share price is up 25% on the week. However, its nothing more than an exercise bike with an ipad attached, with an obnoxious voice saying 'John in tumbuktu, i got you !' as a means of encouragement.  I doubt the equipment is worth the 2k that they are asking for, nor the 8bln that the company is worth (down from 50bln).

i understand the sentiment about this particular miner - i'd never heard of them and personally avoid taking punts on individual miners.

I know sprott was bullish on uranium, but perhaps he should have stuck to what he is good at!

the move is bullish for miners as a whole though, they have been under-priced relative to the recent highs in gold.

AMC, the cinema chain has just invested a decent chunk into a US Gold silver miner, along side Eric Sprott. Why not, i'd say...🤠
