Ha! Well the BBC 2 programme about Money last week was just slightly biased in my opinion, and it was a shame it wasn’t more inspirational or exciting – quite dull and a little cringeworthy. It seems that many of you have watched it and I have been inundated with responses from you which have been interesting reading. Thank you to those, including Danny, Prasad, Chris, Carl, Toj, & JJ, who have taken the time to respond on the blog- even if it was to say that my sofas looked nice. Both Mudrika and I value your feedback and it has been great to know how you interpreted the programme as well. I’m still replying as there have been so many responses.
The Metro wrote a review the next day which ended like this:
“But were they happy? It didn’t look like it, stranded in their massive mansions and their luxury cars, a morally bankrupt breed leeching off the dreams of the poor.”
No axe to grind there then. (And many of you commented on this viewpoint too).
Repeat after me: “We love journalists; they are experts and know what they are talking about”; especially when the Independent describes us as ‘Marcus and Fredericka’ – way to go. You have to laugh … and thank you again everyone who sent in emails and texted us – your thoughts seem to be we came across quite well.
Last night’s episode was better, following different people from different backgrounds. The major challenge I have with it is that I don’t understand what people are supposed to get out of it. I would have loved to see a discussion about who wears the financial trousers in UK, or why is it that some people are good at managing their money and others aren’t or why do some people make a lot of money and others get a few hundred pounds every 2 weeks from the Government and what can they do to help themselves. Or maybe it is supposed to present the ‘facts’ as the director sees them and we are supposed to draw our own conclusions? Anyway, I found it lacking in aspiration and inspiration which is a shame.

This Week’s Trading Question Answered
Have you been looking at stocks to trade? Have you been confused about which stocks are right to trade for the strategy? Once you’ve decided on a stock, would you like to know when to get in and get out?
As a graduate of the workshop, and a member of the Trading Club, you can get all of these questions answered on the forum and live with our Head Stock Trader, Paul Harrison.
This week, Paul answers a members question on the Monday night live calls on ‘How To Trade An Upward trending Buffalo Stock’.
Vertical Buffaloes – in short, how to make money when stocks go up with higher highs and higher lows- aren’t as simple to get into as horizontal Buffaloes but you can make more money faster with vertical ones.
Click to watch – its just 3 minutes long and you will definately learn something.
Finally, I’d like to share some quotes.
What can we learn from Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States? Below are some quotes from that great thinker, and they are as relevant today as they were in 18th Century. Amazing.
“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”
“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.”
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.”
I will leave you to ponder…. until next time!
Marcus
