^^^^ oh you mean a bit like this man, Whatever happened to his infamous red lines? Saving American lives, we are still living with the results and blowback of chest thumping gung ho Bush leading us into war in GW1, to this day, I will never understand why those tanks stopped at the border, they could have been in riyadh in time for evening prayers, and your average saudi would have celebrated, will go down as one of the greatest military blunders of all time. The irony of it all, this effin pumping out, an anti war protest song leading us into war. Give the Don his due, he is pulling troops out of Afghanistan, he didnt get involved in Syria or Libya, if the arabs want to slaughter each other, let them have at it, not Americas problem, and not mine or yours.

I remember Bush hosting bin laden and others at the crawford ranch in texas, over on other forums, any mention of that is deleted, i wonder why?
Trump and America havent yet woken up to the fact, they are just house boys for their zionist and wahhibi masters..
I remember the saudis asking me, why can america elect a house nigger as president?

I remember a lot, but will spare you. BTW you're a avid reader of conspiracy theory websites? You really love Putin and his trolls? The Bush / Bin Laden link seems to have come up (again?) fairly recently. A lot on www.Globalresearch.ca. Maybe read this here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_ChossudovskyAs for the Saudies, nice you're so fond as them. Really jolly.

Really jolly. , didnt realise you were there, must have bumped into you in the snackbar on numerous occasions, must have been on b shift, i was on c shift. Saudis, I despise them, the americans called them sand niggers, was quite funny watching 250 lb bubba from georgia using the term nigger, despite him being one, that was back in the day before pc madness took hold, and we could all head off to tims bar, complete with confederate flags and sweet home alabama blaring out, the irony of it all, the blacks used to use the place, just to p**s of the red neck owner, even better, he only found out later, his flipper mrs was being shagged by one of them.

The FTSE's down 6% this morning, I'd happily see it fall 20% if it means Trump gets out of the White House. , a better man than me. Who would you rather have in charge? Whats the Don not doing that you would like to see him do? Anyone, Biden, Hillary, Greta, Michael Moore, Michael Mouse Esq., it doesn't matter. Dying. Not wishing to grandstand here but life for me is based on a few basic humanities, honesty and compassion being two of them, Trump has neither, "out damned spot, out".

If's a form of trying to diminish, denigrate someone by keeping on saying "he knows everything". Funnily enough I never said so. I guess the main difference is that I not only have 'common sense' but know how to use it. Now please excuse me, there's still a Cape to round

The million dollar question is, what are you going to buy and when, there's going to be some real bargain opportunities out there at some point for those who are able to time things right?

The million dollar question is, what are you going to buy and when, there's going to be some real bargain opportunities out there at some point for those who are able to time things right? Worthy of a thread of its own, the quick answer right now, I honestly don’t know, for the simple reason I haven’t yet done any analysis on performance, eg what lost the most or least. My own opinion is that everything was trashed, even those I thought of as being less aggressive. For the time being I am doing nothing, all my cash holdings are being held as cash,until such times as this gets back on track, and who knows how long that will take.

My own opinion is that everything was trashed, even those I thought of as being less aggressive. For the time being I am doing nothing, all my cash holdings are being held as cash,until such times as this gets back on track, and who knows how long that will take. My best performer throughout all of this was Baillie Gifford International which lost 8%, the big names such as Fundsmith, LT Global and LT UK lost between 15 and 22%, I was in the process of getting rid of FS prior to the crash, TB Amati smaller companies lost 25%. JP Morgan Emerging Markets and First State Asia held up well, as did Mann GLG Bonds. The above are losses from the date of purchase and don't include the loss of any gains between mid 2019 and the crash and BG Int. was my biggest single gainer during that period. I'm likely to buy back BG Int., JPM EM and First State into a secondary SIPP that I hold, I may just balance that with Mann GLG bonds although a longer harder look at UT's might well be in order first!

BG Int. - 11% First State Asia - -11% Man GLG Bonds - -7% JPM Emerg. Mar. - -15% Royal London Sterling Bond - -10%
TB Amati - -34% Fundsmith - -17% Fidelity Europe - -17% LT UK - -24%
