possible Barings style losses in credit based structured derivatives for Barclays Bank?

Either that or stress.

If he's the same calibre as the Barclays "elite' squad guy who met me at the start of the year then give him your money to manage at your peril. Made me reconsider the whole meaning of the word 'elite'.

sounds intriguing Chump... what did this elite trader do to inspire your confidence so? :cheesy:

 

[chump]

LOL...I'm not sure just how much I could say here without leaving myself open to charges of libel .... basically,let's just say if he can't recognise when an investment cycle in the assets he was suggesting is long in the tooth and overbought and the ideas of specifically controlled risk on such assets is just pie in the sky then he's better off leaving advice to people who do...yes, I know that does not pay his salary ,but that's the problem isn't it.

[SOCRATES]

The Elite34S Club has existed since 1999 and seven months, the date coincidentally that it was widely and erroneously interpreted that Nostradamus supposedly had predicted would be the end of the world, the end of a world, or the end of the world as we know it.

Membership is exclusively honorary and strictly by invitation only and admittance is only granted if by unanimous consensus of all the members in advance of the invitation being extended. One single contrary vote disqualifies.

You know zero about it.

You are not a member.

You do not know where it is lodged, or its aims or even where to find it.

So the least you ventilate your ignorance the better, is my advice to you.

mmmmm

are we at it again ?.....remember the next one is permanent

 

[SOCRATES]

mmmmm

are we at it again ?

NO. This is not advertising. It is simply putting the record straight. OK ?


And by the way, what exactly do you mean by "at it again".?????

You conveniently forget the last time I posted I gave a tip on a stock that went up 10% IN ONE DAY, and for the benefit of members, and which continued to motor, which you removed.

There are no more valuable tips given. That's it.

 

[jacinto]

NO. This is not advertising. It is simply putting the record straight. OK ?

OK, hence the no action, yet the "ensuring" we are clear

 

[SOCRATES]

OK, hence the no action, yet the "ensuring" we are clear

There can be no action because it is not advertising. Advertising implies the promotion of a product or service. This is the opposite. This is putting the record straight, no more, no less.

 

[SOCRATES]

Also note carefully that I comment it is "exclusively honorary". If you do not understand what that means the Oxford Dictionary defines the term very clearly.

Otherwise, feel free to ask me and I will explain it to you.

I don't actually know why you bother explaining any of this...nobody is interested

But just in case anyone is interested....please make yourselves known.....it will save a lot of time and trouble sussing out Who's Who in the Zoo....so to speak....and perhaps more importantly......who to avoid...

if you refer to me, i can also explain to you what the word "warning" means

 

[SOCRATES]

if you refer to me, i can also explain to you what the word "warning" means

I am pleased that you understand me as I have made what needs to be posted very clear, very clear indeed.

Now you explain to me what you mean by warning and what is the basis for your posture, as it seems to me this is like the game of croquet in The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, where the rules are changed at the whim of the Queen, and the hedgehogs unrol themselves and the cards, who form the hoops get up suddenly and change places, and the flamingoes do not keep their necks straight when required.

What is this warning all about, when you allow nearly everyone here to run riot and as a consequence those of us who can contribute valuable posts end up getting bored with this one sided policy and abstain.

Whatever course of action you may fancifully decide to take, I assure you, it is your loss and not mine.

You bring up the subject, counter violent, not me. I am obligated to reply to you to put the record straight.

Why it is you continue to be obsessed with me is a source of puzzlement to me.


I forgot to add it...so I will add it once again.

The term "honorary", means exactly that.

The term "by subscription" is the opposite.

What exactly is it you do not understand ?

Also, who are you that the members of a private club should feel obligated to confide in you, or consult you or reveal themselves to you ? Why and wot for ?

You can ask as much as you like but it is not going to happen.

Private means exactly that.

Public is the opposite to private.

If you still do not understand I will have to explain it to you until you do, and then hopefully, you will desist from being fixated on me and my activities and interests, which are none of your concern, as are similar in kind the unwanted and futile obsessions of some thwarted mistress.

Well, now I am perplexed indeed, considering " everything is known in advance ", then for you to be puzzled is a contradiction of your quote....what a strange world we live in !!
