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.

    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
