jays john lowe didnt sound very upbeat after that show !

I think it should be a prerequisite that any "economist" coming on the panel shows should be forced to show the production team where they have their own personal finances invested... instead of coming on telling us what their respective companies want us to invest in..

He's not a doctor. he's just a guy with an opinion and a great calming voice for radio

"you'd be night and day worried about the exchange rate"

"no i wouldnt"

about ****ign time someone said that.

he's completely over selling that bollocks. theres plenty of stable currencies out there to pick from which brings me to another point.

WTF has he got in the danish kroner ?

its a grand currency dont get me wrong but he's pimping it big time !

personally i'd be looking at the canadian dollar, they never got involved in any of this bollocks (despite the fact their bankers WANTED to) .

As mentioned before, he doesn't have a clue what's happening. The only thing he really wants you to invest in, is his book, because with all his expert knowledge, that's the only thing even he can make money out of.

I find it a bit mad that all the people with the savings, wanting to send it off somewhere safe probably gathered a lot of of it from the property madness and that mental savings scheme thingy that I coudnt afford at the time, SSIA was it??

And they are bemused that the economy is up the creek but still are willing to take their "basket of goods" to the next investment opportunity. :rolleyes:

I always find this article good when it comes to how clueless some experts are, it was written in 2007.

Country bloke on radio had Lowe good and well, Lowe fobbed him off badly, and Joe gets a quick disclaimer in at the end to protect RTE and himself.

Twat.

There is a few of them about now.

Dublin_Mom

everything you heard on here today is an opinion.....



problem is no-one heard this last statement as they have all shuffled off on their walkers to the local bank/credit union to open a U.S treasury account.
God help the front line staff in the banks over the next couple of days....

It's more looking for a 'Safe Haven' than speculation for high returns at the moment, though.

It turns out Manuel was gay..

Serious answer (I can rewind my radio): he is talking about Lord and Lady titles up for auction... Lord Melburry was a confidence trickster in Fawlty Towers that Basil fawned all over like a Tubridy..

They are disussing the auction of British 'Titles' (Lord this, Earl that etc)

The clip was of Lord Melbury in Fawlty Towers.

It was contrived, but any excuse for some Fawlty Towers, I say

Delighted to see I wasn't the only one thinking that that Money Doctor was a spoofer of the highest order. It wasn't the actual advice that irritated me the most either but the smug confidence with which he dispensed it. I thought after the Celtic Tiger fiasco people would have learned to have a bit more humility with their financial advice.

I only caught the last 10 minutes of the programme today but the sort of scaremongering I heard cannot be good for anyone. I presume Jill Kirby was telling everyone to put their money in gold? :rolleyes: The "gold run" is yet another bubble that will burst - same as every other bubble that's ever happened.

Listening to yer wan talking about transferring her savings into US dollars, I bet the banks will be rubbing their hands with glee when she walks through their door. What with commission, transaction charges and handling fees, she'll be lucky to have any savings left by the time they've finished with her. :rolleyes:
