It’s retrospective bragging without any proof that he owned them. Stop trying to defend the indefensible.No. That's just bragging and rubbing salt into salty (Brexit) 'winners'.

It isn't against the rules.It’s retrospective bragging without any proof that he owned them. Stop trying to defend the indefensible.

You've disgraced yoursefl enough, surely? No we are not "bleating","The posts have been deleted" I see you both bleat.
Pathetic.
I didn’t say it was. Nobody has. I said it was retrospective bragging without proof that he actually owned any.It isn't against the rules.
JohnD's retrospective bragging without proof. His brag was made retrospectively in 2020, not in advance in 2016. I could say I bought bitcoins for tuppence each when they first came out….Serious question Mottie - what exactly am I defending?

And I'd say good for you.I could say I bought bitcoins for tuppence each when they first came out….
So what? No one died.His brag was made retrospectively in 2020, not in advance in 2016
But someone lied. I've lost count of the times I’ve claimed something on here and straight away the screams I get back mainly from remainers is "anecdotal, doesn’t count, we want proof"!So what? No one died.
Yawn. Okay, if that’s what you want but don’t any of you ever ask for 'proof' next time someone posts something that contradicts your viewpoint.I'm not questioning the veracity of JD's bragging, merely questioning the fact that he has been accused of xy and z, without any substance.
So far all he has claimed is that he has made far more money shifting his investments out of the UK into Europe post Brexit and has given some vague random numbers along with it. Sems to me like an awful lot of bitterness and jealousy from you, Justin and MBK.

Well you think he did.But someone lied.
Asking for it is fine, but if someone declines then there is no more you can do. It's a witch hunt for some reason.Okay, if that’s what you want but don’t any of you ever ask for 'proof' next time someone posts something that contradicts your viewpoint.
JD posted up this...
I am an investor, not a trader. I do not seek excitement. Nor daily effort.
You will be disappointed to hear that FEV is only up another 21% in the past year.
One of my other biggest long-term holdings is up 64% in 12 months, but IMO it is now overvalued, and riskier because it is now overly concentrated in a single business, so I have halved it. Perhaps I will look back and see I got out too soon. Better than being too late.
Nothing else remarkable happening.
and also this...
That's sad.
As an anti-Brexer, I naturally moved most of my pension and other nest egg into European and International sectors.
I believe Rees-Mogg and his buddies did something similar. Perhaps they didn't believe the lies they told.
I see FEV is up 40% since the 2016 referendum, having fallen 12% since 1 Jan.
What else do you want? If you disbelieve him, then that's fine. If you, Justin or MBK have evidence to the contrary and think that he is a liar - post it up boyos, the floor is yours.
You going into repeat repeat mode again?
What is the matter with you?
Post # 195 and post # 235. JD has claimed exactly what he stated here...

Apologise to whom and for what? You are sounding like a disturbed jealous nutter.

Jealous? Of a sad, lonely old fun sponge? Nah!They can't. They won't.
Jealousy and bitterness.

He sure as hell shouldn't just say "I made load of money because I'm a pious INVESTOR not a paltry trader" - which he implies.You want a poster that makes shrewd investments to give DIYnot the heads up, the instant he makes an investment?

Yeah, I remember that episode.It could be the one who was fully exposed in the open forum because he posted in the combustion chamber , where only a mod would be able to access without being a gas man.
Gasser named him.

Eh? JD wrote the post did he not? FFS lad, make some sense.
I say again, if you have evidence that JD lied about his investment, mislead folk about his investments, gave out false information - post it up.
But I say what it was and how you too can do the same. I've said how in advance as well. Different altogether. If you're telling us you can't the difference, you're not being honest, are you?Justin too likes to share his financial gains. I have no reason to disbelieve what he posts.
