stock market crash

[Old Greg]

Was even less of a return against the pound between Feb 09 to Sep 2010 @ 18%

Look you've been ripped a new one. Caught with your pants down. Suck it up.

Gold price 9/02/2009 - £599 Gold Prices - British Pounds (GBP) - February 2009
Gold price 30/12/2010 - £911 Gold Prices - British Pounds (GBP) - December 2010

£911 is 52% higher than £599, Plenty of room there to make a 42% profit, even with storage fees.

Now, tell me that inflation wiped that out, or perhaps give me another reason why that wasn't an investment.

So not September 2010 but December. Nice. i.e. nice gain or nice we can change the dates to suit the claim.

You'd put Chris Grayling out of a job with calculations like that.

Years not quite correct - I checked. Bought Feb 2009 and sold Sep to Dec 2010. Made 42% profit (GBP denominated). Pooper can explain why that wasn't an investment / was an awful investment / the profits got eaten up by inflation.

What is wrong with you?

Oh, and welcome to your new arsehole. I hope it settles in well with your others.

I tried to leave this thread, but it is compelling viewing, kind of like watching car crashes on youtube.

Or those medical documentaries where they remove 90% of someone's brain and they can still function at a basic level.

He's gone quiet as he's trying to find a way where even though you're right, he can claim you're wrong

I smell a graph being drawn

I’m hoping it’s a graph against inflation to show how profits were eaten by inflation.

If you were selling in September you were selling into a rising price until December. Here's the chart again ending in December at the best price from the best price in February 09, in GBP, the best you could have done from valley to peak was 31%.


Keep digging...

That's no way to talk about leave voters.
