Weekend light relief6 Feb 2021 10:50
Well lockdown has been eventful. My 87 year old Mum has become an investor! Captivated by my inane ramblings about a modest portfolio of companies, Mum became intrigued by DeepVerge. We talked about various companies but she kept coming back to DeepVerge and Gerard Brandon. “Your Grandfather was born in Ireland Stu” I was reminded. Yes Mum but that is not a reason to invest in DeepVerge. Undeterred and armed with her £250 (money she can afford to lose) we promptly stuck it all on DVRG. I look at it as enhancing my inheritance but Mum loves the excitement and the ebb and flow of the share price. It is keeping her mind sharp, something to engage in, and something better to talk about than the stain on the lounge carpet or that a pigeon is making her conifer look untidy.
I read her selected bulletin board posts (edited of course). Highlights so far, trying to read her one of Chesh’s posts (her favourite poster, but she thinks he may have issues!!). She loves the name ‘Mugginsthedog’ but doesn’t agree with everything he says. It’s not about the money for Mum, it is something for her to get involved with in these difficult times. We are all here for different reasons and got here by varying routes but linked together by DeepVerge. Stay safe and enjoy your weekend.
