Umm Bora, you are right to an extent... but don't get ahead of yourself. M'off was THE guy for investing. You were considered to be in "elite society" if you had investments with him. His firm picked and chose who they would accept money from. There was hardly a shortage of people wanting ...
What was Foolish was investing in something blindly. How can you go into something so bold without having info, other than someone telling you what a great return you will get? Then again, I am sure that quite a few went into it based on what they were told by their "investment advisor". ...
Robby G & Redkite The government has not come forth and "protected" any of the investors. Hell, HSBC has lost 1 Billion with him... yes 1 Billion. Your investments are not covered by the government... It would hardly be an investment if it was covered now would it? According to reports...
Adultery is a global phenomena and is prevalent in fast moving hectic societies far more than simple townships. Hence you may be correct in thinking Dubai has quite a few adulterous cows. It works both ways yeah, both men and women cheat out of their marriage so it's not something exclusive to men....
Bora, I guess you completely missed the point of my post (perhaps I should have explained it better). To briefly reiterate, the people had no idea what was going on with Madoff; all they knew is that the money was coming in year after year after year ad nauseum. Eventually, you just rely on the fact...
^ "Created by God to be the Successor" I believe he means that God created humans and gave them the ability (through intercourse) to procreate. Man + Woman = Procreation and carrying out gods plan. Gayness = Just having fun, and not doing what God Intended. ----------- My Opinion.. I have ...
Dubai based companies are the #1 Name droppers in the world...
LOL, they tried to sell properties based on B-list English football players apparently having properties in the same building. Thinking it would lend some competitve edge
^ I'm going to hold off my opinion until the facts are laid out. (Which by the way is not the best thing to do on an internet forum). Furthermore, on his website he has a few pictures regarding the operations of the business, (and even a pic with Richard Branson)... Not that it matters too much. Lik...
For all those "Ohhh all you do is trash dubai.... blah blah blah" You guys sound like a broken record. This is a FORUM. The point of a forum is to discuss topics, good or bad. Human nature has it that the bad is far more interesting than the good. Blame God, or deal with it any other way y...
To an extent I belive this is somewhat correct. For example, in the America's and elsewhere: Credit card's and personal loans (some) are "unsecured". The bank takes the rish for a default on the loan. Hence their requirement of certain credit scores, scrutiny of pay and work history etc. I...
Fact - The law says do not drink without a license. Fact - The driver was wrong in asking them for extra money. Fact: He was not wrong in reporting them to police as thats against law and that is why they got stuck. Fact: he was exploitive and a good smaritan . Fact: He is a reflection of our socie...
I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot pole unless you are: 1. getting an amazing deal.. 2. willing to hold onto the investment for a decade (or two!). We should have a lot better picture of the "bloodbath" after the 1st half of this year. The sand would have settled by then, the direction of t...
