eMail dr.ftse@gmail.com to learn more/how to get started as an Option Trader, or to ask for details of the hugely successful White Knuckle Riders Investment Club (wkr.inv.club@gmail.com) which deals largely in Traded Options, particularly Options in the FTSE 100 Index. The Club's objective is to make 1% PER MONTH for its members.
Since it's inception in August 2000 the Club has paid out £253,000 in profits to members. Members are strongly advised to withdraw accumulated profits regularly; trading options is always riskier than trading in the underlying securities (i.e the 100 companies whose shares make up the so-called 'FTSE 100 Index')

Lots of PC Fans out there?


My Mac G4 Powerbook developed a fault. CDs and DVDs weren't recognised and didn't always eject. Drove it to the nearest Mac "Genius Bar" (Google it, all you Dell fans) Diagnosed replacement required. I left the Mac for repair, which they would do "without labour costs, because it's only a two minute job when we get the replacement drive" (Would Acer do that?) No sooner home than the Genius Bar called. "Er . . we may have damaged a connection taking out the old drive. So we will replace the connection as well . . for free . . . and just in case we damaged the logic board when we disconnected, we will put in a new one . . also free." (Sounds familiar, HP fans?) But I would need to return to the Genius Bar to sign additional repair authorisation. Nuisance . . but . . . . while waiting for the paperwork to print out, Genius Dan gave me lots of broadband and other tips. (Presumably PC users have access to similar dedicated young folk falling over themselves to help sort out problems?) And the displays of OSX, iPhone and iPod tips on king-size screens behind the Genius Bar are worth a visit in themselves. By the time paperwork was ready, so was the Mac! (I think they didn't want me to drive home for the second time without it.) One minor gripe. Some Google hits will tell you that Apple's Genius Bars open at 9a.m. They don't. It's 10a.m. One other gripe. When will Apple open a Genius Bar in Leeds? There's one slated for Newcastle-on-Tyne towards the end of the year . . even further than my nearest. The Big Downside to all this, of course, is the usual one. If you're a Mac fan there's only one MacMaker to choose from. No competition between manufacturers means you must be prepared to dig deep for your Mac, compared to Dells, Acers etc.

I don't leave comments on blogs that use Word Verification. Ditto blogs which I know have Comment Moderation applied. Life's too short and I'm too busy makin' money and what the Hell are these people scared of anyway? If you don't like some creep's comment . . TRY DELETING IT! You have that privilege.
And I never read unpunctuated so-called poetry. I don't understand why self-styled poets think it's clever to make their work difficult to read/understand.
