My First Shareholders Meeting.

[davywavy]

There should be a childrens game with that title, designed to teach kiddies the glorious advantages of the open market. I can just see it now, as little Timmy plays his "Aggressive takeover" card and makes his sister cry...

I went to a Shareholders presentation last night for Earthport, a online payment company (seemingly better than things like Paypal). Notwithstanding any details about the company, I couldn't help but notice that not only was I far the youngest person there who appeared to be an investor, but I was also the only male whose chest measurement was greater than his waistline.

I wonder what this says about people who invest?

Fortnum and Masons, dear boy, on Piccadilly. They have a fab choccies section as well as doing a wide selection of fine (and sometimes bizar) grub.

I will be lurking round borough market on Friday and will keep my eye out for Yak

What does it say?

That you are a freak of wealth ... most of your peers haven't the liquidity to consider investment seriously ... that falls in greater proportion on the girthsome age'd. ;-)

So away with you capitalist freak! Lest I beat you with my youthful socialist ways! ;-p

That your gym membership is fighting a losing battle against fate?

That investors comfort eat?

That investors in computer stuff are generally computer geeks with associated dietary patterns?
