["John and Beth Schwartfeger" <timestwo@xtra.co.nz>]

I have two share portfolio's running.

 

The NZ market portfolio 3 months ago was running at minus 17% and now is running in the positive.

 

My portfolio on the London stock exchange 3 months ago was running at minus 19% and today is running at minus 30.3% and been as low as minus 33%.

 

My perception would be that good old NZ isn't the doom and gloom market RIL and his followers like to spout about. I have seen so many opportunities on our NZ market to make good money of late. My portfolio in Britain is that pathetic that I am thinking of dumping it and giving the money to my son over there so he can buy a house. Can't understand why the lad wants to live over there but hey, his choice.

 

So RIL. Is NZ that bad based on my experience?? Incidentally, my son was the victim of the great London tube pick pocketers in daylight hours. Looks like you get robbed over their by day and street riots by night.

 

It is easy to pick holes in anything but a lot harder to actually prove the holes exist and are not a figment of the imagination.

 

By the way RIL. A mate told me he could tell which plane you arrived at the airport on.......  When the engines stopped the plane kept whining. :)))

 

Cheers. John.
