Have you ever harvested raspberries?
Do you know how long it takes to harvest 500gr of them?
And you have to cool them ASAP or they'll rot in no time.

Also, Spain has a water problem that has turned into a desertification-problem.

COOP may get away with that charge with their markups, try selling them in Spain or southern europe and your experience will be vastly less provide. After all they are only rasberries

Buy some land!

Fundsmith is already diversified it holds 29 companies, so your eggs are in 29 baskets. Research has shown that once you past 25 investments you have little benefit from further diversification. If you feel happier put 100% in the S&P 500 which is in 500 Companies, how much more diversification do you want? Many people invest in multiple funds not realising that 30%-90% of the 2 funds have identical investments.

The most important diversification is among asset classes.

Personally I disagree & so will anyone who ever got very rich ($50 million plus) from their own investments, this never occurred because of diversification but from extreme lack of diversification.

I am only interested in global equities, I would rather but superior companies. As Benjamin Graham said in the short term the stock market is a voting machine in the long term it's a weighing machine. I am interested in the weighing machine aspect.

The stocks Fundsmith invest in are far superior to the S&P 500 or the FTSE100, over time this will pay off. No need to take greater risk in the attempt to reduce risk.

Where?

Can start here: http://www.landcrawler.com/land_under100K.html

or try homegate: https://www.homegate.ch/kaufen/106042699?8

599s could still go down, don't you think ? maybe it would be better a 328 or a Testarossa.

With US raising rates, I would expect that CH will follow suit in near term. Real estate market in CH is already cooling down, so I think this is the worst time to enter.

That is my point - as long as the prices are the way they are in CH - it could pay off.

You disagree with facts . And you come with nonsense comparisons (i.e. investing savings X developing a business) too.

Why pay Fundsmith's ridiculous high management fee to choose stocks for you? You just mentioned Benjamim Graham: if you read chapters 8 and 20 from his book and your results will be very similar to Fundsmith's.

PS: don't get it personal.

Ugggghhhh.

That would be like marrying an ugly woman because she has a big trust fund. You may have the benefit of the money (eventually), but you'd still have to look at her every day!

(cough)....now what was the result?

Weeping, and CHF-100.

In Italy is costs 2.50 EUR per 125g!

Afraid about of your taste for women!

2-1 for Watford. Burnley down to 10 players after 6 minutes.
Otherwise.......
Need to keep doubling up til I get my 100 francs back. Will give Burnley Chelsea a miss.
Probably explains why I am not rich.
Lucky it was not 100k.

I know what a Testarossa looks like. Ultimate 80s bling. And the performance wasn't especially dazzling, either.

A bet on that game would be virtual arbitrage. Just, not the way you'd bet.
