    Keeping a collection of valuables requires transport/insurance/security/storage etc, it makes sense to outsource all of that, plus you can buy a fraction of an asset.

    It's a cool idea, although at a super early stage:

    *There is currently no public trading market for our Interests, and an active market may not develop or be sustained. There is no guarantee that appropriate regulatory approval to permit such secondary trading will ever be obtained. If an active public trading market for our securities does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult or impossible for you to resell your shares at any price. Even if a public market does develop, the market price could decline below the amount you paid for your shares.

      It reminds me of Greyscale - you can buy Greyscale bitcoin trust shares for 16% more than bitcoin itself. Why do people pay the premium? Because they don't want the hassle of dealing with bitcoin.

        Nah it's just something about the tension of waiting for a reply on the internet. I wouldn't give a damn if it was real life, you can always laugh and move on over a pint or something. Online arguments just have a way of getting ratty

          i guess depends on what you want. you can hang a painting you like on a wall, have a rare book on an accessible shelf and enjoy it too while having it possibly appreciate in value. I'd prefer to own a painting i splurge on but costs a tiny fraction of the cost of a masterpiece, rather than owning that tiny fraction.

          I do think market making is a good business, but for the market makers.

            Yeah, they are definitely some good points.

                Have seen the first season and loved it, loved the sci-fi side to it. Just the first seen of the second season.
                People complain about the dubbed version, but i watch that with subs on.

                        Teresa, just a heads up...most people in the UK/Ireland don't move move around bookies, for the most part they stick to the same one/two bookies.

                        don't confuse people in here/people you know through gambling with Joe Six-pack


                        The fact they already have a customer base and it basically being a virgin market should help a lot but I wouldn't be counting on people shopping around

                          Yep, you can't go.

                          And we've all noticed the spike since you returned.

                                Well the advice (unless i'm very much mistaken, which to be fair is very possible) is to stay at home. So do that?

                                                            It should be 'The Square IS hiring'.

                                                            I was doing that kinda stuff for them 15 years ago and the joke hasn't changed much unfortunately. I suppose it's a case of 'if it ain't broke, why fix it?'

                                                            It'd be a bunch of young kids in a meeting room under fierce pressure to do anything to get camera time and any kind of conversation going and over the years they scrape more and more off the bottom of the barrel until eventually a new bottom is exposed and then they race frantically towards that.

                                                            Not that this is too bad or close to the worst but it's a bit like the drunk lad in the pub trying to tell you the same joke over and over again. Predictable and tiresome.

Biden is well ahead both in the national vote and a plurality of the key swing states. Trump is the one that needs a game changer and so far is flailing about instead playing defence, especially on covid (you could make a case that this election is really Trump vs Covid). In this 'referendum on Trump' election cycle, he is not making any inroads at all. His favourability ratings are in the toilet.

                                                                      All great news for the Biden position. The 10/11 has finally gone but plenty of 20/23, 17/20, 5/6 still available. Hoover it up as I expect reality to dawn at some point.

                                                                      I added a fun little bet to my portfolio. Biden to win 360-389 EC votes at 12/1. Any upside potential I'm seeing is to the Biden campaign as Trump if anything is sinking from so I like this as an upside bet (doesn't take that much imagination either - Ohio and Texas are very close).

                                                                        Not that this is too bad or close to the worst but it's a bit like the drunk lad in the pub trying to tell you the same joke over and over again. Predictable and tiresome.

It seems they might be tightening restrictions on entering and leaving Dublin on Friday. I guess that would mean we can't go to Glendalough on Saturday? As in, i know its technically Wicklow, but its 'just there'. We'd be going on a bus, hence the question.

Plus note the way it was easily cleared up in less than a minute by asking people rather than going around posting 'i'm sooooooo confused, looooook at mmmmyyy confusion'? It's almost like how a normal person would deal with a normal thing.

I was going to say, with a slight chuckle, after we get over the small talk: "I heard there's some gangster shops out there that will fiddle what is written on the bill so you can not just get a bike for yourself but also one for your kid". Then I was going to look at the guy with a mixture of disbelief at the world and also a nod of inquiry as to whether they were said gangster shop.

                                                                                                  In the end I felt that was too elaborate and just asked the guy "so can you do something dodgy on the receipt so I can get two bikes?". He put his hand up "whooah" as if to say I'm not that type of lady and this is a respectable house, but instead he just went on to say "I know nothing about that. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. You should speak to my boss when he gets in later" and then went on to show me suitable kids bikes that I can chat to the boss about.

Big impact on unis as it scuppers all their attempts to have students on campus for some of the week (which was a bit of a silly plan even in the better days) in order to justify charging them 20 grand for a masters.

                                                                                                                          The Square being a business/corporate entity makes it singular:

                                                                                                                          singular or plural?
                                                                                                                          Corporate entities take the singular: eg The BBC has decided (not “have”). In subsequent references make sure the pronoun is singular: “It [not “they”] will press for an increase in the licence fee.”

                                                                                                                          Sports teams and rock bands are the exception – “England have an uphill task” is OK, as is “Nirvana were overrated”

                                                                                                                          Or... what Mellor said.
