I had never heard of heard before, but then my knowledge of "personalities" is minimal.

Before I looked her up on Wikipedia, I was imagining the her mother was practising some one-upmanship on someone with a daughter called "Penny", but "She was named "Tuppence" after the childhood nickname her grandmother gave to her mother."

I did see she had a sister of a different denomination, Angel, and also a brother "Josh"; I wonder if that was a typo for "Dosh"?

😎

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

@HerefordBullyun@papi1980Ah thanks guys.  I'll have to read over both of your posts several times to try to make it sink in as I still can't get my head around it.  How can you make a profit by buying loads of something for which the selling price then falls?  Maybe I'm too thick for this game lol...🙃

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.

Almost clear now.  So GeordieStacker mark is TYNESIDE?

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.

  From the context, I assume it's like a consolation prize for not winning the main event.

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

I love the trade dollar but if it's British why's it a dollar?

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 am free to reject, criticise anyone or anything I like, this applies to the historical context I explained over the event of the Soviet Union and in the gender myths context, and no political correctness will stand in my way. Im a firm believer in universal civil and human rights. Anyone on here attempts to take that away from me will feel the full extent of legal punishment. You have been warned.

Ok mate.

Thats the mentality right there isnt it. Not an ounce of consideration to learn how we in the West are here on the brink of WW3 because we have a serious problem with monetary policy. Dont like it, go East. Says it all to be honest. I am actual taken a back at this place I really am.

If it comes down to the Nukes, its us here in the West that had the problem. Its disgusting tbh and yous cant see it.

You're taken aback? Why is that offensive? You've persistently made offensive comments on this forum about women and Jews, maybe don't dish it out if you can't take it eh big man?

While pretending the paper-Gold price that goes up is good for the dollar economy. Apparently we are the ones with the agenda and full of conspiracy. Its full on schizophrenic here in the West. 

Well if you don't like it in the west, you do have options...

I think this might be the true identity of the person behind the minimalist account.

I find it hypocritcal members can be on a metals forum while bigging up the dollar, western currencies and western economies that are on life support, its a clear contradiction.

It's not hypocritical at all. We're all free to speculate on whatever commodity or currency we fancy. The true value of gold is what people are willing to buy it for. Likewise a dollar. Your opinion is that dollars are worthless. That is a perfectly legitimate point of view, but it's not one that everyone agrees with.

Well it is good for those in citizens in Germany etc.
Not sure why you say 'Russia's alleged (and dubious) gold reserves of 40,000 tonnes' - sounds like you want it to be untrue - and if you begrudged accepted it is true you are making efforts to downplay this. Sounds like you have an agenda here. There are a number of members on the forum who have some issues - call me paranoid but i suspect some of them as agents - like i had to deal with on my COVID thread. That what @Minimalist think anyway.

I think it's pretty balanced to have a healthy sense of skepticism. And if you don't have faith in the information coming out of western institutions I don't know why Russian or Chinese figures are any more credible. I think the guy you were replying to was just asking where does the 40k tonnes figure come from?

No it means Russia is sick of being kicked around with sanctions, they like many other nations know what is real money and what is fake. It means the death of the dollar. So it is a good indicator that the shiznits will be hitting the fan for the Empire of Chaos.

Sure, that is a valid opinion but it is just an opinion, and I am sure you will make decisions about what you do with your money in line with what you feel is sensible, and those of us who disagree will do different things with our money. I am personally more confident US monetary policy than I am in Russia's.

Well for starters theres a select amount of banks that have been sanctioned by the West which has caused a liquidity problem, so Putins government is putting in a Gold bill tomorrow to the State Duma to make it mandatory for the removal of 20% VAT on psychical, the existence of Gold holdings at Banks (Which the Russian Government have got) and making gold transactions a normality.

Gold transactions a normality. That tends to be a good indicator of shiznit hitting the fan. See Nazi Germany, Venezuela etc.
