    Is the Gold bubble going to burst? just a question

    I thought the Gold prices would see a reduction some time ago and sold some of my gold miners at a great profit. Someone has bought them off me and will now be sitting on a profit themselves.

    The thing with gold as an asset it that it's value will not collapse overnight and until there is more certainty and people decide to shift from a safe haven to riskier assets then gold will continue to rise. Buy and set a target and then leave something for the next man.

    Today was certainly not Think's day. Probably not his week, month, year or lifetime really.

    Besides, as I predicted yesterday, today has been an interesting day.

    Actually Think you said yesterday that tomorrow would be yours! I take it that you then bought into the early SP weakness on RKH this morning and are content with your paper profit at the close of play :-)

    Either that or yesterday is today and today is tomorrow and you are in your own groundhog day!

    RKH have already been approached by partners and are establishing a data room for potential partners to decide for themselves. I am a happy investor in RKH!

    Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is also happy because she is also a happy investor in RKH, that's what she calls patriotism, shout against the “british pirates” but invest in their business :) the communist jew at #8 is also a happy investor in RKH, such patriotism makes me emotional :(

    #11 keeps boring us with the unemployment in other countries, but that's understandable because he doesn't live in Argentina so he believes in Argentina unemployment is 7% hahaha

    Marcos - I ma not unemployed so am one of those fortunate ones. The condition of UK employment has no bearing on my investment decisions or on the nature of my business. Ultimately the UK is a much more productive place to work and manage a business in than in Argentina. There are many more business and universities that wish to seek British collaboration compared to Argentinian.

    Still you seam unable to stay on story so clearly you are feeling out of your depth. Get back to you Peter and Jane books, they are about your level.

    Nah Marcos, no problem with my English, just need to replace the batteries in my keyboard.

    See you are changing the subject again.

    To remind you:

    There are millions of barrels of oil in the Falklands that are commercially viable and will flow to market and there is fuck all Argentina can do about it.

    Even with your limited intelligence you can figure that one out :-)

    UK rating downgrade 'unavoidable'

    It's a pleasure to read someone who recognizes obvious facts.

    “A downgrade of Britain's top notch credit rating is potentially unavoidable because the country can not grow out of its debts, a leading asset manager has claimed”

    and what has your post got to do with the amount of oil in the FI? Marcos, when you are on the back foot don't bother wasting time trying to change subject. You just look silly as well as thick.

    a leading asset manager has claimed”[you claim the falklands are yours,,but it is not]
    because the country can not grow out of its debts, [who;s debts]
    you worry to much, its only money, you panic to much,its only a little debt,besides if it gets to bad, we can aways take your lead and go bankrupt, [can we not]
    do you remember the 30s,people juming out of windows,
    shares crashing, millions out of work, ,, its not that bad is it, so relax,
    you have no stiff upper lip,
    but a shivering bottom lip,,

    No Marcos, we have delineated the field out to the Eastern fault. That is called “appraisal”. By finding the limits of the oil field we know how much we have. Conclusion = we have loads of the stuff. Best of it is, it has nothing to do with Argentina :-)

    Once again Beef is right and Marcos looks like the colonial Iberian muppet he is.

    leave the falklanders in f*cking peace, the british politicians should stop responding to every bullsh*t coming out of cristina's mouth, one day she will choke on all that bullsh*t all by herself, do as if she is just a ghost and forget about her, you're in the falklands, she is in argentina, don't pay attention to cristina anymore people, live your lives and enjoy, you should learn from isolde's attitude, she really doesn't give sh*t about cristina

    The worst thing about this arguement is the rift it causes between ordinary people in Argentina and the Islands, all because some polititians use the issue to win votes and distract people from there own policy shortcomings, (yes you, CFK).
