You have people who dedicate their lives to a subject, and those who hadn't even heard of the subject 5 minutes ago. Personally I'll stick to what the pros say because I don't have the outrageous arrogance to assume I know better or the years to study enough to form a qualified opinion.

Bottom line Alex...... How much cold hard cash would you like to bet that you're right, and what odds do you want? Let's see how certain you are. There's a lot of people here who'd gladly consider whatever prop bet you have in mind.

If you were new to trading would you stick to what the "pros" on the internet selling video packs say?

There are lots of scientists and doctors being ignored, censored or not speaking out for fear of losing their job who share the opposite view to lockdowns.

You also have to remember that a lot of money is being made from this and people can be bought, so to assume the corporate pseudoscientists employed in the Government's behavioural psychology department are right without question might not be the best approach

You can fool all of the people some of the time; you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.

There's a lot of truth in that saying Alex. Do you really think every doctor and virologist in the world is in on the conspiracy (including the sterilization drug manufactured and distributed to all the healthcare personnel in the world to inject into their patients) and not a single one of them decided to spill the beans?

And all those doctors who know your twisted delusional truth, do they keep it a secret from their partners, children and friends for fear of losing their jobs?

You've completely lost touch with reality Alex. Well actually, you've never been in touch with reality since joining the forum. How long does your mistrust of authority go back?

Pros yes, "pros' no. And I'd do my due diligence to find out which was which..

Boris Johnson to prioritise pub visit over haircut on April 12.

I'm booked in for a round of golf on Tuesday - it's bloody ridiculous that golf has been banned for all this time.
More chance of shooting 59 than catching coronavirus on a golf course.

You probably also think that the Evergreen ship just happened to crash and block the Suez Canal by accident?

If you done some research you would find that container ships are mainly controlled on autopilot by Microsoft computers, who owns Microsoft? Bill Gates. It would be easy for him to hack into it and make it block the whole passageway.

He's done this to cut off the supply of electronics travelling from China to South Africa and it's quite clear why. If he can prevent electronic devices and battery packs from reaching South Africa then all the court siders at the South African race tracks won't be able to get onto Betfair thus giving him an extra edge over the market.

But you probably think it's just a coincidence :lol:

Autopilot on ships is switched off when travelling through the Suez canal, local pilots board and manually guide the ships through the canal. In the case of the Ever Given two local pilots were on board when it ran aground. It apparently ran aground because it was too far over the speed limit of the canal which is a tactic used in strong winds to help control large container ships. On this occasion they were a little too fast apparently.

It was en route from China to Rotterdam. Wouldn't make much sense to go through the Suez canal when travelling from China to South Africa.

You're talking complete crap again, and don't tell me what I'd discover if I did research - stop assuming everybody uses the same tinfoil hat websites that you use!

Microsoft doesn't, and as far as I know, never have built computers. They provide operating systems to run computers. My PCs are running Windows, that doesn't mean Microsoft is controlling what I do. I've bypassed all the automatic updates and telemetry settings.

Bill Gates is no longer the owner of Microsoft, Satya Nadella is the biggest shareholder. I guess now it must be the Satya chip!

Are earthquakes and volcanos still acts of god's anger or is Bill Gates now controlling when and where they happen?

Yes, but the two pilots had taken both doses of the vaccine. ;)

That was some research Alex undertook. Obviously didn't involve a map of planet Earth. :lol:
