My heart is bleeding

guardian: Meet Robert Tchenguiz: he's lost £560m and counting. But he says the yacht is safe

Rumours that heavy paper losses had forced him to sell his Monaco-moored yacht were laughed off last weekend. He told one newspaper: "So I've lost a lot of money but I'm not in trouble as people keep saying. It's just a case of taking the rough with the smooth, that's all."

Like the name of the article suggests - "Keep counting" - I wonder how soon he'll tire of the rough?

Just hope he is the first of the many straws that break the backs of his type. Fingers crossed he looses more than just the yacht!!! :)

Sounds like he's spent his paper gains, but trying hard to ignore his paper losses.

"led to a fall in the paper value of three Tchenguiz investments of more than £560m in less than 12 weeks." The last 12 weeks could well be the gentle foothills of the Everest of economic downturns, let's see how he's doing in 6 months time!
