Haha Shareflyer...yes, that is the best advice . It will do better than gold

Oh dear, sad Ford now opining on oil supply....

Don't waste your time Richardduk. Ford has never left the UK

Ford , just loves the frightful bearded old mullahs....they are sort of replacement father figures. Probably has lots of pics of the old monsters in his dark, dank and smelly basement bedsit. Really, Ford, you are site populated by successful investors . Is there not a Green Party site you can engage with? They love boring Leftie failures like you.

Nah...so affected

Copperhands Ford is not right in the head. He is on benefits and comes on here as he is massively envious of those who have made life changing amounts. Ford cannot even afford a beat up old Ford Escort

Retirement did you say you were going to move to Portugal? On the other points, it seems a fait acompli that interest rates will rise as inflation speeds up. I suspect governments are well aware that inflation is higher than they claim. My concern for this country is the swerve to a lunatic gov with Rayner taking off her mad friends to run in tandem with Polansky and his greens. That will be the straw that broke the camels back. Farage seems incapable of pulling in quality ex Tory politicos

Thanks investor in the know. That is good advice. I will probably be a lot more cautious than before.

Thank you, Mr Hody. They tend to try to talk to me but "the dogs bark, and the caravans pass on by" as the old Middle Eastern proverb goes

Investor in the know, you did not sound rude. I never intended to trade and have seen huge swings. What made me worried was the potential rise in interest rates. You are right that gold should be seen as a long term hedge. I will probably go back in again but this time with a better balance. I had too much exposure before. I have never seen a more anarchic world.

Lazy life plan, I sold on Monday principally because I had a large gain I thought it wise to have a loss to set against. Was I foolish? I just have no idea. It was driven also a bit by panic.

Investor in the know, I agree with every point you make. I sold all my coins before the fall. Just wondering whether there could be a lower entry point. I just don't want to demolish the profits I made.

Yes, Hody...will you forgive me? Just about to go walking

So, retirement. What is your view on interset rates?

Investor in the know...your opinion or anyone else please. I sold off my coins and like you and seeing gold assert itself. I am pondering whether this is the moment to re-enter. If I do, knowing my luck, I will end up losing the profits I made. I am a bit dubious about PM's. They did not perform when they should during a war. Gold does not like high interest rates and those look likely. Also, it has huge daily swings. Not sure about it

Hoddnydod...on what basis do you assert that my support of Israel is unwavering? You have no basis for that fatuous claim.

You need to do some research before embarrassing yourself. Read up on the historic number of Arab members of the Knesset.

Here's a link to educate you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Arab_members_of_the_Knesset

Now, name me one Jew exercising power in any adjoining Arab state? Have you failed? That may be because democracy and Islamism cannot coexist. Now, having disposed of you, I am going off for a walk. Have an interesting day!

I suspect Iran has, over the decades, murdered well over 100,000 of its own people. They make Israel look like innocents.

It has for decades supported proxy terrorist groups, including those responsible for the October massacre. If you wish to equate a democracy like Israel with a despotic, medieval theocracy with a lust for a nuclear weapon or two the go ahead

I have never met a stupid Iranian. These religious creatures running the country are cruel, cunning and intelligent. They have nowhere to go and I just don't see what the outcome will be. They have survived for decades and know that the US is now on the run. What a mess

Copperhands, I could not agree more. One thing we can be certain of is this. The Israelis have the bit between their teeth. They know that the regime will never give up its ambitions to destroy Israel or finance proxy wars. The Israelis have a far deeper understanding of the situation than the US. As the Indians say..."what to do"

The Times reports that Iran claims the US is talking to itself and any peace will require compensation for the damage done: that could be multi billions. It is also dividing and ruling the world by allowing non-hostile nations to transit the straits. All this is going to put huge pressure on global interest rates
