Gold is strong enough and don't forget it was around 1050 only a few years ago. It is an 80% increase on that.

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.

So beanz says gold isn’t an ethical investment. Dude has no clue. It’s not an investment to begin with. It’s a hedge. A preservation move. What is unethical about one of the oldest forms of currency amongst humans? Didn’t England scour the world and enslave millions for gold and other commodities? I hope all the statues of kings are out of England as England brought slavery to the United States and every other part of the world they touched, what did England invade about 90% of the worlds land overtime? So now all stocks are lame, what about reit or realestate etfs are they bad. I mean they are stocks but comprised of realestate, how does that work. About 50% of Americans are in the market, probably a little more, are they all dumb and lame or is it just me? Does that hold true for the Nikki and all the other markets or just the US? I would think unethical investments are Monsanto and certain “sin” stocks as they call them. Perhaps stocks related to the military industrial complex. But I guess you have the good and bad thing pretty well covered. I’m glad things are so simple for you. Watches are bad but cameras are good. I’d much rather be able to tell what time it is that take an edgy picture of some old smelly boots that look like shit to begin with. A zoom boot special.

Walrus, you said this thread would get some action going. You are Nostradamus.

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

Black People

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.

Dude is this a joke. You just did some major projection there. Is this sarcasm. I mean you just labeled miles for the shit you do everyday. I actually thought miles wrote it about you. This is getting bizzare.

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.

Beanz is right that a roof over one's head is the key, and the only key.
