Royal Bank of Scotland to investors: 'Sell everything'

I would love for you to dig out any post that references an 18-month time span on the biotech fund, yes. That would aid the discussion greatly. As that post does not exist, I will leave it here and note again that the investment you want to rub my face in is one that has gained me almost 50 percent.

I don't purport to give advice or be a guru on here. However, I should note that, had someone pieced together my advice and yours over the last seven years, they'd be wearing Armani suits based on what I've said and a barrel based on what you've said.

Seriously bro. I just checked my Fidelity account yet again, just for you. I bought it at 134. It's now at 193. That's a 44 percent gain. Do you subscribe to Fake Investing News on Facebook or something?

ETA: Looking again, I must have bought it earlier than that -- my cost basis is indeed $134, which meant I probably started buying in April of that year. As of July it was at 164. Still not close to the 190 you're saying it's at now. And, still, scoreboard. That is a good indication of how much I "trade" though -- I've held that fund for so long, I don't even know the origination point. It has done me well, though, despite the alternate reality you have cooked up in your head as to that fund's history.

 

From the Gospel of Matthew:

“The servant who received the five bags of silver began to invest the money and earned five more. The servant with two bags of silver also went to work and earned two more. But the servant who received the one bag of silver dug a hole in the ground and hid the master’s money."

I'm servant No. 3.

 

There is more bitterness on this thread than any political thread. I love it.

 

Posting a trading statement with identifying information on a non-secure anonymous message board definitely sounds like a good idea. I'll think about it.

Anyway, as noted, I think I had a date wrong but definitely not the cost basis. I bought it at $134. It has gained 44 percent. This is true and factual information.

Meanwhile, you've been posting on here of the likelihood that we would be at 1,500 and even the possibility that we would get down to 1,000. So we'll take your expertise for what it's worth.

 

Remind me never to play poker with you two ... We'd never get past the first hand.

 

Ragu would spend the whole night hovering over the pot because of the imminent alien invasion to steal it all.

 

Actually, I might find the evening profitable. While you two argue I'd occasionally steal a few chips from each of your piles. At the end of the night (after maybe the third hand) I'd have all the money despite not having won once!

 

Ragu, just whip out your dick, take a pic and post it. It would save you ten thousand words.
