Typical, bluddy typical....
 

I save money each month by putting a percentage of my salary into the company share ownership scheme. Every six months I get a block of shares that are held by a broker in the States in dollars. So in the last month or so...

My company announces quarterly results that beat analysts expectations...Hurrah...my shares should go up a lot and I can sell 'em to cream off the profit.

The downside is that they announced the results on the same day that Wall St took it's biggest slide for 3 years...DOH...the shares are only worth what I paid for them.

Apparently, it was Bernanke the new chairman of the federal reserve who hinted, in an unguarded comment to a NY journalist over dinner, that US interest rates might be on their way up.

What's wrong with these people? Don't they know I need some new Diablo Corsas?

You mean you haven't been employing an active hedging strategy? What's wrong with you man?!

Capitalist!

Yes, I have been employing an active hedging strategy...

I've tried to avoid getting fired through "Harry the Hedge" on every BHCN rideout

Ahhhhhh.....Mr Beancounter...

I see that your signature has changed from 'Superlight' to 'SP3', all you need now is an SP1, SP2 and SP5 to complete the set

Must've needed a fair bit of 'capital' yerself :p

And one day I shall have them all, sir!

(Laughs in a megolomaniac manner)

no chance what so ever then mate

Well if you ever tell me who I owe money to, and what for, I told you I would look into it.

You just gave me more abuse - which doesn't surprise me.

Don't forget who's the one facing a prison spell. I'll send you flowers and a bucket of ice to sit in.
