Why do people buy gold. Is it:


1. Its value as jewellery? Partly

2. Its value for industrial purposes? Partly

3. Its ability to generate cash flow? Nope.

4. Its ability to be moved around and to hold value in times of trouble? Mostly but why?! It is totally circular and dependent on everyone thinking this way.


Surely the gold bubble is the biggest ever? At least people can live in sw7 candy and candy 10mm flats. They have a rental yield. What does gold have? I think it is the biggest con ever.

"Surely the gold bubble is the biggest ever? At least people can live in ....flats. They have a rental yield."


This is more estate agent trolling isn't it?


If people get out of gold now, will they "get in on the upswing"?


Perhaps they can get it on buy-to-let and fraudulently borrow 500k that they can't afford from rip-off bankers and get this "rental yield" of which you speak by fleecing first time buyers?


Perhaps they should all rush out and speak to their "Sol"

incorrect


It was sold between 250-300 troy oz


Gold was costing more to store & insure than the best possible lease rate at that time.Transport of gold was crippling - even Rothschilds began wind down its Precious metals business due to the inability to make money at the time.


The funds realised were moved into a wider range of currencies to create a basket whereby risk could be more accurately managed in response to global economic events.In risk management terms, it is bad practice to try to build in every possible scenario, rather the ones that ar proportionatly more likely to happen wiv yer fat tails.


better to be stuck with a basket of tradeable soverign currency that a cellar full of gold


Anyway, You cant make a meal out of a pile Deutschemarks or a kilo of gold at the end of the day

No good - you would be relieved of your purse full of gold as you travelled home through the forest.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
