Gold is not an ethical investment.
What is an ethical investment then?
A property. Providing a roof over someone's head. (:
A second property? What if someone else wanted to buy it and the supply is limited? Is that fair?
It was a small flat and it provided a home for people who were not in a position to get on the housing ladder. Now it has gone to someone who managed to get a mortgage. It's not rocket science and is far less boring than fucking stocks, shares and watches.

You guys are near terminally dull.
Isn't that the case with most renters? How is that ethical? It sounds like you exploited them while the home appreciated. You could have made it really ethical by letting them live there free and just take the house appreciation meanwhile letting them build up for a deposit. You wanted the money, didn't you?
What the fuck are you talking about? I am not responsible for 'most renters'. This is your problem. You generalize and put people in huge groups. Identity Politics. It is sickening.

Immigrants
Disabled
Black People
Single Mothers

As though there is not one individual among them. All good or all bad for you.

You rent property out yourself. Do you exploit your tenants?

We were tenants for years ourselves and so made sure we were as fair as we could be as landlords. We could not afford to let people live there free. That doesn't make us bastards.

You sound like bitter Mr Cushty 4 hrs a day nothing better to do but be a keyboard warrior.
What do those groups have to do with this topic? I sense a man trying to pivot and distort. Of course there are good people in any group. Do you have a point there? ������

I rent out for the money and am very fair. We let the couple renting now finish their contract early as they were having money issues. We let them pay late several times before they finally explained and we let them off the final rent payment having found new tenants. I am a very reasonable person. A landlord needs to be considerate.

I am not making these weird claims about ethics. That is you.
What those groups have to do with the topic is that they are made up of individuals. You never treat them as such just like you comparing me to most landlords. You are the one pivoting. You just accused me and my Mrs of exploiting people, or did you conveniently forget that bit? You have never done anything but distort because you are warped. Look how you can ascribe good intentions to yourself but with anyone else you always like to assume the worst of people. You don't know me and yet here you are assuming that i am some morally redundant edge lord cunt like you.
