this site reckons its only a few months old: http://www.bizstats.co.uk/ltd/sovereign-investments-precious-metals-limited-09281180/ i wouldn't risk my money on that.

fixed now, that was weird.

ermm, whats going on? has the world ended, currently $98 up!! edit: now $110 up - this can't be real?? edit2: yeah, i think something must be broken, the bulliondesk and netdania tickers are spiking upwards for no reason.

lol - sorry -too subtle!

did you even read what you quoted????

red khama, red knight, r k etc.. has been making these predictions for well over 5 years and not a single one has come true, or even close.

honestly, i wouldn't bother with the sets if they are more expensive than normal coins - they don't go for a premium from what i've seen. certainly avoid those sets that are sterling silver and not pure - lots of them on ebay a few years ago and they often sold for less than the silver price.

never had this problem - i've ordered from them many times and it was instant. ring them up, or the bank?

the boe have been looking into this for years - nothing to do with the new bloke.

i know people who know liz jones and she is a total bitch in real life as well!

some people seem to equate: rising price = bubble thats not what a bubble is and just because gold has increased so much in the last 11 years doesn't make it a bubble.

nonsense

and never shuts up about it! RB got it wrong in 1980 and has got it wrong for the last 10 years on gold.

what a goddamn liar she is! she never mentioned any such thing - in fact she has always said the exact opposite - i guess she gets that from balls and ed.

lol thats funny.

thanks, i'll have to check it out - 2.5% cap for 30 years would be like throwing money away.

i have about 9 years in USS - anybody know what my options are? is there any way i can close it, get some money back? i can do better if i invest it myself.

+1

lol - i've been at leeds uni for almost 20 years now and you've hit the nail on the head. you can bet those 700 leeds jobs will be academics, the people who bring in the funding, but the admin (which has expanded enormously over the last 10-15 years) will stay on the spend the money. Thats the way universities have been thinking for years - 'we will hire more admin to squeeze more money out of departments/academics - what can possibly go wrong?' - morons.

this happened 9 months ago!!!!

i work in a uni - its true. the fee's per student are the same but the university charges a space charge for every sq meter a dept uses. The space charge for labs is significantly higher, not to mention the higher cost of the teaching due to consumables etc for practical work and the much higher workload. The university also will only allow departments to take on a certain number of students - beyond that we get fined. So uni policy decides how many students we get and its getting lower for science subjects and higher for mickey mouse subjects (mainly because they make a lot more money on the latter).

true, the pay sucks and the best scientists i know either leave the field or leave the country - as a career, science isn't worth it (yes i am a disillusioned scientist!)

me neither, hardly a bubble. when people start selling their houses to buy gold THEN its starting to be a bubble.

phew, thank christ for that.

ermm, no.
