    Took a close look at the daily, if this trade was +/- 4-days from the lowest point in Feb 09 to the highest as it was in Dec 10, he'd would have 28% rather than 42%. So a hearty congratulations for timing the market. I suck at that. But then he stated selling began in Sep at 18% gain, so how could the overall fund achieve 42%?

    Defo smelling something with a high methine content.
    Hmmmm, let's think about this. I can believe Greg or believe you. Only one of you is correct. There's Greg, who I believe doesn't post lies or fictitious claims about mega trading transactions ... and then there's you and you postings on this thread.

    I must confess, it's a difficult one. Could take me some time to make my call. Scooty or Greg ... Scooty or Greg ..... ?

        It's not a point of view. It's the facts. The point of exact dates is that they show the maximum possible gain within the parameters that I gave, in contracts to the erroneous maximum possible claims you gave. Trades are made at exact dates and time, you know.

        Why is it so important to you to disprove me, especially when you lack the competence to do so? You literally posted bulltulip charts, dates and figures alongside comments such as:

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

        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.
        and

        Keep digging...
        But all you've demonstrated is that you're a fool.

        I've demonstrated that my claim is feasible and that it didn't require perfect market timing, both of which you attempted to disprove using faulty reasoning.

        Now, tell me why gold is an awful investment / not an investment.

          You've shown nothing. No evidence.

            Because Scooty is a dick who talks utter tosh.

            And Greg triggers xenophobes and leavers on here.

              As it happens, I'm, not an investor, although I find it an interesting topic, and will get round to it via a pension at some point over the next few years.

              This gold investment is the only investment I've ever made. Short story: we were selling the house and buying another one just as the financial crisis was unfolding. At the point of exchange I instructed the solicitor over the phone to sell the house we had and withdraw from the purchase (squeaky bum time with a baby on the way and having a week to find a nice rental). So I had a small pile of money that had been tied up in housing equity on top of my war chest, and I stuck it into gold. So because it's the only investment I've made, I remember it pretty well. For some reason, pooper is really triggered by it. But if I'd wanted to make something up, I could have made up much better timing and doubled my money or whereabouts.

                Are you really saying that I have not demonstrated that my claim is feasible?

                  The irony of it, coming from Captain Grandiose claims and no evidence. He's triggered beyond belief

                    This could all have been avoided if you'd simply acknowledged that someone buying gold for the purpose of asset appreciation rather than consumption could be classified as an investment. It may not be an investment you'd make or recommend, but it can be defined as one. It's bizarre that you continue to refute this

                      It's very odd behaviour by pooper. From Jun 2007 to Sep 2011 peak, gold more than tripled in GBP terms. I just happened to catch some of that run and made a 42% profit. Not sure why that's such a big deal to him.
