Not sure about the ski-ing for Christmas in the Sibillinis, it may be a LITTLE early for snow, There well be LOTS of food and wine, the festas will become clearer nearer the time, dependent upon where in Le Marche you are located Get in touch in (say) november to get the latest. S
Can they do this if shorting is banned ? S
I agree that we should help those that NEED (NEED !) help through no fault of their own, the problems as I see them are that there are a lot of people expecting handouts and due to this, we struggle to look after the real needy as the costs are escalating out of hand. The feral idiots who are wrecking the UK at the moment are actually costing the normal taxpaying public millions for the policing, clean up operations, hospital treatments, court costs, prison costs etc etc. S
You know, the politicians just cannot do this, instead of pussyfooting around with woolly words, say what they mean............. Lots of people will have been living beyond their means for years. So now that the size of the problem has started hitting people between the eyes, they now say it is not 'our' fault it is the governments ! The government under Blair & Brown (in my view) spent WELL beyond their means and now the current government (it just happens to be conservative led) has to pick up the pieces. The government MUST change the benefits culture, but sadly, in trying to do this, they will likely get voted out next time, and so the spiral will continue downwards! Re the shorting........... I am delighted to see this ban in place, why on earth can it be right to drag a company DOWN to make money ?...............crackers ! S
I don't pretend to understand it, but investors being able to 'short' a share seem to drive the shareprice(s) down, why not make this illegal ? That way, if you want to invest, you 'support' the investment rather than dragging it down, it seems to be this sort of domino (and negative) effect is happening across the stock markets of Europe ? S
