Science, frog? You proclaim that scientific argument guides yourself, so let me ask you a question: Where is academic paper that proves HIV is probable cause of AIDS? As far as any one knows there isn´t one. There are $500,000 rewards on offer. Also you what you fail to mention is the efficacy and effectiveness of vaccinations. Not even the manufacturers state that vaccines are any where near 100%. In the very young and very old the duration of immunity can be limited (if they work at all). The anti vaxxer´s would be a good case study you could carry out statistcal evaluations against the vaxxer´s. yet there is little to no data.

Putting the "luxury" into flats Certainly not bitcoin, that is just a Ponzi that has been manipulated. Many if not all people you see advocating Bitcoin, are probably just paid to spread the hype. Like Money Week (Max Kieser), obviously someone is paying some where for promotion aspects for Cyptos. You need to get the liquidity going so the programme makers can exit. You´re seeing the big number 1 problem with bitcoin, there is absolutely no liquidity. There are very few transactions. No doubt the Chinese/Russian/Indian are looking for an alternative. But the French vests are really highlightning the number 1 problem facing many ordinary European citizens. Things are not good. Dtn4f8PWwAA3OD7.jpg1199x807 216 KB

Putting the "luxury" into flats Sara - Looks like a plug for Bitcoin, no? Looking at the viable alternatives - the Euro isn’t it as it’s likely to collapse if the $ does, especially as it’s clear that the Euro is not sustainable in most of the southern Europe countries as it’s driven unemployment, especially for the young, to unsustainable levels and national debts to an irreversible point relative to GDP. Our wonderful politicians are arguing over the boil on the elephants bottom with Brexit, and not implementing it properly just delays the inevitable and will likely continue to weigh heavy on the UK’s cost base. Bitcoin? – It’s not clear to me that it’ll be a viable alternative without political backing and unless a reserve status is applied to it – at the end of the day there will be someone in control.

Putting the "luxury" into flats Don´t call this yet, we are in some very unique times. Look at Trump´s face when he is photoed with his Chinese counter-part. This is glum looking. China, has already declared war on the U.S. by selling all its treasuries. When countries start to demand their gold back this is very serious for the Fed & BoE You´re looking too SR, I think like many others that what you are about to see when-will-the-u-s-dollar-collapse-3305691-FINAL-5bad46cdc9e77c0026ff6c97.png1500x1000 51.4 KB is a collapse of the US$ but first I think world markets will panic & there will be an almighty rush into the US$ as the percieved safe haven (which might save the US initially). You´re already witnessing a collapse of financial markets.

Putting the "luxury" into flats Sara, Looks like you were correct on the bond yield dierction, at least in the short term. 10 Year US bond yields dropped below 3% in the last couple of days. Games - Good to admit when one has called it wrong lol !!

Putting the "luxury" into flats Bubble about to explode as desperate Luxury real-estate developers are in an ‘arms race’ to shower rich kids with insane perks. What could possibly go wrong? Realestate prices can only go up, right? MarketWatch Luxury condos hope a ‘kids concierges’ and IMAX will lure families Nanny apartments and climate-controlled pools for kids are just some of the high-end amenities for children.

Where have I seen this before? No Malji, The ratio’s are fact - they were offered to my offspring at the Nationwide, the Halifax and HSBC. Tell me what the average UK house price is Tell me what the average UK salary is Then Tell me what the average deposit is and from there we will work out the ratios Do you still believe that it’s just stock market sentiment that has driven BDEV’s share price down 30% from it’s peak in the last 52 weeks, and that the company is offering a yield of 9.4%? And that it’s just stock market sentiment that has forced Kier Group to offer a very deeply discounted rights issue to it’s shareholders because it can no longer role over it’s debt due to a credit squeeze for the whole sector? It’s a bargain obviously. Games

Where have I seen this before? Meantime, back on topic. HPI ticks up again. Despite all the negative pr. ‘6 times salary mortgages’ shock horror. Actually if you actually read the whole story, these were a handful offered by - yes, wait for it - the Darlington B/S. Who have an astounding 10 branches - well that’s clearly major global impact there. That ‘story’ (or was it fake news) was a headline in dire search of some facts. Back to the Vladbot for more cutnpaste response!

Where have I seen this before? Centrica , I own a few of these I get a dividend every now or then for around 20 GBP, although I couldn’t tell you the SP or performance! Yeah, I remember now their profit warning. I had 102 Shell, shares, which I sold I think in August for around 26 GBP. Trouble is I never had the Share certificate & the registrars charge 70 GBP just to sell. I had tons of dividends re-issued, they charge about 15% commissions. Plus another BG payment. But in the main I remain passive. Much of what is going on & has been going on is absolutely frightning. Thomas Cook, another with a horrible debt structure. Massive debt surges out of no-where on the back of a very dodgey trading statements. I just get the feeling that many corporates are hiding or fiddling their books. I just don´t trust it. Carillion, this is just the tip of an iceberg. What these examples go to show is that never get gready, take your profits. The crash is so clear. There was one person arguing that there is a liquidity crisis already happening in the markets. I have known world events for a long time but nothing like this. The way Trump, especially speaks you fear a big world conflict.

Where have I seen this before? SaraRacano: but they have the resources & insiders in the know Sara clearly they haven’t or they would never have invested in :- North West Biotherapeutics Capita Babcock Centrica Circassia Provident Financial Allied Minds AA Next Imperial Brands BATS Imperial Innovations (now Touchstone) 4D Pharma HaloSource Sphere Medical RM2 International The list is much, much longer than this of failed investments All of these companies have lost most if not all of their value. Sara - He and his team might have inside information, but clearly it’s coming from the wrong source inside the companies, or Woodford takes everything on face value that the CEOs spin to him. In fact the situation is so bad at his company that they all but stopped issuing monthly reports on the funds and changed to writing a load of macro economic forecasts and hiding what they do in the funds from month to month - the investors on the chat forums on the site are livid. I would make the point that you or a few on this board have a better understanding of what to invest in and probably more importantly, what not to invest in. Games

Centre Point, London Classic sign of a dysfunctional housing system. "Developers have chosen to take the unsold flats off the market and keep them empty, claiming the offers they’ve received are “detached from realityâ€. In February it was reported that London councils had granted property developers planning permission to build more than 26,000 new luxury flats priced at more than £1m each, half at least destined surely to stand empty. & we have a chronic housing shoretage!

Where have I seen this before? SaraRacano: Surely the analysts that work for him must be aware of the affordabilty issues Sara seemingly not - his team of analysts seem anything but bright, or they would not consistently invest in highly indebted companies that keep going bust - they then seem surprised that it happens. There are so many high profile mistakes in the last 3 years, that “keeping the faith†has started to fail and his main fund “Equity Income†has had some 50% of the funds under management repatriated. He’s been a forced seller of equities to cope with the outflow for some time now. A lot of people will lose a lot of money in his funds which in two cases are an oxymoron, as many of the investments in the funds (Equity Income and Income Focus) are unlisted and don’t provide an income. Some of the somewhat artificial value in his funds are due to rerating of unlisted investments as he adds further rounds of funding and revalues the initial investments - even though these are all highly illiquid. In my view the marketing is in breach of trades description, at least in spirit even if he covers his axx with the legal guff – They don’t do what it says on the tin. Games

Where have I seen this before? Like a fish biting a biting a worm on a fishing hook, I thought we’d be hearing from you Sara. Yes, of course, the poorly fed and frail are most likely to succumb to measles and die. Likewise those who have been innoculated are very much less likely to catch measles in the first place. This is why measles infectections have declined so much over the decades. [link] It appears that you believe that children who are afflicted by malaria and malnutition can be simply acceptably sacrificed on the alter of your anti-vacc conspiracy theories. I can tell you that any parent will grieve just as much for their dead child killed by measles even if they were already weakened by malaria or whatever. We who rely on the science want all children to be given the right of life and the chance to survive a measles infection. As I said earlier, only those with half a brain would want it any different.

Where have I seen this before? Come off of it, the world health organisation is part of big pharm. More importantly, measles will never kill a healthy child. How many of these 110,000 estimated (always wrong) deaths has the child a seriously chronic illness (malaria, malnutrition)? How many kids a year, die due to open air defecation? In rural India, the numbers are incredible.
