With respect, on a Cyprus forum, and given the dire circumstances, isnt Cyprus more in need of your undivided attention

Cyprus is in huge trouble financially, wouldn't it be far better and maybe helpful to try and sort out the Cyprus economy ?

Even though my wife’s salary has been reduced 3 times already, my self employed situation hasn’t changed at all, and VAT has been increased 3 times in the last year or so, we’re still better off than a year ago because we got rid of a bunch of luxuries previously ignored that were wasting a lot *more* money!

So this whole debacle has awakened many middle class Cypriots like myself, to their unnecessary expenses which they could get rid off and be back in business again!

Oh and we even donate often to those that are worse off.

As for the country's debt... it's a loan for Christs' sake so SIGA SIGA they'll pay it off!

Btw, in case you’re wondering here’s a whole bunch of ways to save money:

Union fees = Cancel memberships

Social clubs = Bugger them

Stupid Insurances = Cancel them

Air con = Use less

Wife’s shoes = buy 2 pairs a week instead of 10.

Financial donations = Kill them.

Free piss up parties = BYO parties

Barbeques = Replace lamb/beef with pork.

Car servicing = DIY

Purchases = Redeem the thousands of accumulated points on cards.

etc, etc, etc...

What the fuck was Ireland doing with all that money? That's the great mystery!

The leprachauns are keeping it safe in a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow

No seriously... does anyone know what's been happening in Ireland?

When you visit the loo, do you care where the shit will go?

Always! I have a transponder system and dedicated data acquisition server hooked up to my sewerage system.

condoms = don't have sex masturbate instead... if GR! can do it, you can do it to!

No I’m just spying on my poo poos to see how fast they accelerate to create super energy for a Cypriot WMD. It’s all for the cause…

Thanks for the reminder...

Condoms = Snip

What I have discovered in cutting down on costs is to have a part time relationship/marriage, a bit like being a.... sleeping partner if you like, periodically of course, not only do you save money but lots of energy too, an essential element in being a ....sleeping partner.

Ok have got to the end of this AVERTISMENT, for that is what it is, masquerading as an 'article'. The irony of an advertisement where the whole 'line' is 'buy our publication to learn how to save yourself from financial disaster' finishes with the disclaimer

Information in MoneyWeek magazine is for general information only and is not intended to be relied upon by individual readers in making (or not making) specific investment decisions. Appropriate independent advice should be obtained before making any such decision.

is not lost on me.

It is an advertisement however their argument and analysis is backed up with a list of sources (the article). They also open the article highlighting their past correct calls.

The risk disclaimer is standard, they have to put that there to protect themselves.

The problem is with their 'extrapolations' from correct figures, as the example I highlight clearly shows.

They also open the article highlighting their past correct calls.

But they do not mention their 'bad calls' , how many there were etc - and they must have made some. This is the problem with an advertisement pretending to be an analysis at least for me.

The risk disclaimer is standard, they have to put that there to protect themselves.

They are 'selling' information to protect yourself from financial disaster, but have to disclaim that this advise is of any actual use and should not be relied upon to 'protect' themselves. I would stick with a real , regulated financial adviser, if I had any actual money to worry about, that at least has some legal duty of care for the advise they give, unlike these people who claim to 'more right than anyone else' yet operate in a manner where they have to 'protect' themselves from any liability for those that follow their advise.

They may get it wrong and most very probably have in the past too, this is true. No one is correct 100% of the time, hence the reason for the disclaimer.

so are you saying that Britain is not heavily indebted and the potential for a financial disaster does not exist?
