RobMc got a reaction from HudsoN in Financial markets
I read everything, about everything, and after many years have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as an 'expert'.
Bonds, stocks, shares, crypto, horses, systems, gurus etc etc etc all have their day and ups and downs and failures. Yes in the short term (window) if you are on the ball you can make money, but there is one thing that most forget - money is imagined, man's creation, not real and certainly not stable.
I confess to having no particular knowledge of finance, however it is obvious to me that we are in trouble when things like the great reset are bandied about. In a peculiar way Covid crippled currencies as Governments printed their way out of a situation, but it was coming anyway.
All this for one very simple fact, the experts cannot predict world events, Covid, Ukraine and food shortages being just some examples.
Anyway to the point, I note the predictions, forecasts, graphs and multiple conclusions from 'experts', but a quick reminder to the average Joe/Jill, if you can't hold it, and don't own it, likelihood is it ain't there. The one thing I do know however (from experience) is that the entire world is currently in turmoil. Countries economies collapsing, huge movements of displaced people, the usual proxy wars but their numbers are higher than ever before, food and water shortages but above all else weak politicians, entirely unsuited to dealing with these problems.
Tron bless him reminded me about this with his prediction of depression or hyperinflation, but there is one more thing to consider as a consequence, war.
Depressing isn't it?

Love it buddy, now put your steel helmet on because that remark won't go down well, they think it's just us in the UK, God forbid you remind them of how they got their land.
That is truly a great find and glad to see you're not a moonlighter, we have lost so many treasures to those criminals. One of the sad things is for the average person we can only detect metals, imagine if you dug another foot and discovered the skeleton of the man who held it and clues how he died?
I have in the past ten years become fascinated by the Romans, especially North of the wall as it is a misconception that they never conquered Scotland, which of course they did following the battle of Mons Graupius. They built huge marching camps and forts all over Scotland especially the borders, wouldn't it be great to discover a Roman in armour?
I live North of the wall and when I could looked for the camps, roads and settlements clearly marked on ordnance survey maps. That is when I realised the wall was a back up defence as Roman influence extended way beyond it, I once did a walk with the county archaeologist he really opened my eyes.
I look forward to your next finds

Hello my dear, I'm Rob new here too, I see you had trouble inserting things on your post, if you still have trouble with insertions just call uncle Rob. In fact there's quite a few in these forums I would assist with insertions if ever given the chance.

RobMc got a reaction from KaptCrunch in Marital aids for sale
Sorry to hear that Wayne, but I know you were expecting it, yes I went through all that with my parents and it is not a pleasant thing to do. I don't think I'll be here long this time and hope both you and your family, especially those lovely grandkids have a happy and untroubled life in this troubled world. Sadly as you can see in these forums humour and discussion are being stifled just as it is outside, human beings really have a very low level of intelligence don't they?

You couldn't be 'hot' even working in a sauna, I was disappointed at Christmas, the two lesbians next door had asked me what I wanted as a present, and they gave me a watch ?🤨
