Sod's Law did. I got paid today and was planning to buy....

It could be worse, she could be called Thruppeny Bits Middleton.

I can try to explain it with gold as the example. Let's say I'm super confident that the price of gold is going to go way down. How can I make money from that? "Hey Flying Vee Pixie, lend me that 1oz gold bar of yours, I'll give it back to you in a month" So you give me your bar. I immediately sell it on the silver forum for £1500. One month later, the price of gold is down at £1300, so the day I'm supposed to give you it back, I buy another 1oz gold bar from Lawrence Chard or someone at that day's price of £1300. I give you 1oz of gold back as agreed. And I keep the £200 profit. That's an oversimplified explanation of shorting. As others have said there are borrowing fees, and imaginary shares etc. But that is the principle of how someone makes money from the price going down.

Mine arrived today. Beautiful coin. Not much I can add to what's already been said. Thanks to BYB and to all the pourers, donors, and everyone who took part. Horrible circumstances but there is no shortage of good causes in this world and I hope the success of this initiative will inspire a similar future fundraiser for those in need.

That type of BBC has been around much longer than 100 years...

Seems appropriate. I suppose a Greggs sausage roll with the face of Alan Shearer adorned with Geoff from Byker Grove's facial hair wouldn't show the detail.

Well deduced.

I've missed all this excitement having recently started a new job with a punishing schedule, so I just wanted to say well done to all involved with this brilliant initiative. I should probably buy some tickets... 10 please

Trade dollars are silver coins minted as trade coins by various countries to facilitate trade with China and the Orient. They all approximated in weight and fineness to the Spanish dollar, which had set the standard for a de facto common currency for trade in the Far East.

I think this is the best plan.

You can get milk out of a bull but they only have one teet to squeeze.

Please do, that will lower the price of beer.
