Title: Settle This Argument
Post by: Bentley Bullet on June 26, 2021, 12:25:37 am
I've been saving up to have my privet trimmed in my back garden. Is this a morally acceptable thing to do or could it be classed as a hedge fund?

I'd be inclined to contact Alistair Darling or Gordon Brown BB and check the morality of it .

If it dies of a particularly nasty disease following its trim and is replaced out of tax payers money I'm sure it will be perfectly acceptable .

from the point of reference of the privet (is this insider trading ?) has it got a "hair-cut*" ?

*In finance, a haircut is the difference between the current market value of an asset and the value ascribed to that asset for purposes of calculating regulatory capital or loan collateral. The amount of the haircut reflects the perceived risk of the asset falling in value in an immediate cash sale or liquidation.

are you going to sell it  as in  privetisation ??

Not, sure about that, I'll have to sleep on it, although I'm not usually one to rest on my laurels.
