  1. Very interesting post.

    @Sev and @Air Duck

    Very interesting posts (@Exige, please don't get jealous)...

    Can I ask what you do in life? (I'm entitled to ask as members here have asked me just about everything! LOL ... even bank account records!
     
  2. Who are you talking to now? :)

  7. I don't use either, These days I use my hands as I build ski chalets and employ an architecte and a structural engineer to do the complicated stuff.

  8. I did not ascertain that a fund could not achieve a return in excess of 25%, I merely pointed out that no legitimate fund could do so consistently, annually, net of charges and that also you hadn't invested in one and that Mikhail Khodorkovsky was not a fund manager. You haven't yet post any substantiated evidence to the contrary. You are not going to convince me otherwise by continually flogging this dead horse!
    In summary then:
    1.) The subject is boring, hence I described my role in the past tense.
    2.) Yes, tidy up.
    3.) I'm not your friend, amico.
    4.) Your mum says hi.

  11. I must admit that one thing that I always envied you, British, was you weird but funny sense of humour! LOL

    Oh, and of course, your hedge fund analysts! They are really funny when they embarrass themselves all alone!
     
  12. Actually... I thought that he would have let loose the insults sooner, so give him credit for resisting while watching facts destroy his reputation.

  15. I studied engineering for almost 9 years full time, then worked in it for next 20 years whilst continuing studies as a constant necessity to my work. I try to take a technical and methodical approach to most things including my bikes and riding and/or building them. I've owned Ducatis for around 25 years and have blown up and crashed more Ducatis than I want to remember. I push them as hard as I can and see crashing as just one of those things that's going to happen over and over again if you push and are constantly trying to learn/improve. I'm happy to modify my riding style as well as my mental approach and am always keen to read other's thoughts on science/
    technology/bikes/riding.

    Writing that kinda felt like writing a dating profile - I don't like long walks in the park, going to the theatre, or paying for other people's meals! :grinning:
