spock Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 With the melt-down in the stock markets occurring the IOM Treasury Minister should surely release an emergency statement to indicate what the situation is with the IOM's National Insurance fund. For example:- what was its value this time last year, what is it now worth, what is invested in geographically and by sector, hence what amount of the fund is required to be kept in cash for liquidity purposes, what amount of cash drawings are required each month to make pension payemnts etc, hence how much cover there is before investments have to be sold to raise cash, and finally what amount if any of the fund is exposed to sub-prime debt.

ans Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I liked your spock gimmick. You're boring now you've reverted to type. I even tried to steer people away from thinking it was you, despite knowing full well, to avoid the inevitable slating you would get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? They're invested in markets, markets go up and down. We've entrusted the management, we have to ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 To be fair, I do tend to take more guesses than most so that will affect my strike rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereis no logic or information in this response or teh subsequent ones to the matters identified and therefore logic dicates that you do not know the answer and reply only to be seen to be having your say on an irrelevance and on factually incomplete and wrong assertions. But live long and prosper and I hope your not thinking of drawing on a money purchase pension any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcCann Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 And there was me thinking after ans' misdirection that how the hell can Spock not be 'him' after the posts of the last few days. I had become seriously concerned that there were two of them, probably from a single split cell like an amoeba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
