Pah; no-one to blame but yourselves, if you lost money - it's long been anticipated, and wasn't half as bad as it could've been!

Ooh hyperbolic... When one dicks around on the high seas of international capitalism, one is in danger of having one's knob chopped off... if you'll forgive the strained metaphor!!! ;D I agree it's a bit harsh for the blameless victims whose pension funds may be up shit creek, mind...

It's what happens when you embrace capitalism - it's not always up, up, up.
Or would you prefer China to still be communist?

Bit harsh Julio, you have to speculate to accumulate - do you not like the color of money? You can chose which markets you want your monies invested - so if you're cute you move your funds around

You can chose which markets you want your monies invested - so if you're cute you move your funds around I like money well enough. I have no sympathy for those who lose it when they're simply playing games though (which is stock marketeering imo). I have no objection to (for example) ethical investment and all that... I gather if you want fast bucks though the way to go is putting your money into armaments and tobacco...

I think if you're prepared to lose the money then fair play, it's just spread betting really.
Does it have to be ethical, all money is dirty really

And of course, you need to have too much money to be able to lose the sort of amounts some of these people are losing... You think money is dirty? I thought that was (a mischaracterisation of) my view?! Ooh Hurls... you like being dirrrty don't you?! ;D I know...

I think representations like the character Gordon Gecko in the film Wall Street sum up my view of those people... amoral, grasping, vicious scum. Words not minced! Indeed, though in fairness I don't think he paid much attention just where exactly he stuck it!

Whats up wit you? They are right, and that's not wrong... I'm replying to MANY threads, and working at a leisurely rate. To some extent, it doesn't get better than this! (well not between 9 and 5 anyway! )

Have you ever met someone in the work place who is successful and nice, by what I mean is two faced or the likes. Those sort of people are a special breed of c u n t, and will trample you to get their agenda. I sort of admire it, however as you say it's not nice. However you do have to be focused to succeed and I'd be a liar if I said i don't like money - however I would never behave like Geko - just not moral! Well that was his demise, poor chap - shame it can't happen to Elton!
