I suspect that despite losing more money as a total amount than you or I, this drop doesn't hurt Gates/Bezos/etc nearly as much as others who might have the same investments. For others this might represent an actually significant chunk of their retirement fund.
In what fashion might you "enjoy" this?
|

Well, they (in this case meaning Gates etc) didn't loose anything if they didn't sell their shears. And, ss you point out too, losing 5% of a billion is not going to force them on a diet or skip a vacation.
On a different note, it might not be such a good idea to invest in the stock marked now as the P/E is quite high[^] historically speaking.

Yeah, but if you have money, you'll buy up some "cheaper" stock, particularly the British pound, wait a few weeks for things to normalize (ok, maybe months), and rebound to their previous levels, and you'll have made probably 10% or more on your money in short order.
Or, if you were even smarter, you invested in gold before the vote, knowing that if England stayed in the EU, you wouldn't lose any money, and if it left, you'd make a killing, well, at least 9% as of future prices today compared to Wed.

Yeah, their portfolio dropped in value to what it was mid-May (as did mine.)

That was the dogs danglies! 
Well put together....

Very creative - and I probably played most of those games at some point...

Griff, found a deal for AOMEI on one of the sites I use. Last time I posted about something else I found there it was removed. As this is to get a free copy I might get away with it.
Find it here[^].

New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

Thx 
I've used the free version before and I've been meaning to backup my hdd to install Windows 10 just to claim my free license and then restore the backup. having the full version is a bonus.

My only concern with "free" is what is the catch - might someone have loaded some malware on it. And is "BitsDuJour" a known, legitimate company?
I ordered and downloaded a free copy, and got the following error:
"The signature of ABPro-June2016.exe is corrupt or invalid" - again is this cause for worry?

The catch is explained on the page. It must be installed on the day of the promotion. I have been using Bits DuJour for years with the occasional issue, but I get those rare problems everywhere.

Send them a question. Sometimes the software loaded on some servers is corrupt and they will send you to another place.

The deal is legit, but I downloaded the software (pro version trial) from Aomei's website, not Bitsdujoir and used the registration code they sent me.

Leading the push against the globalist bankers who are poisoning our food and water, putting fluoride to make us weak and to submit to globalism fascist government, globalism was blown a death blow by Brexit and for the people of Great Britain to stand with leaders such as Farage and Trump who are going to lead out of the darkness of this globalist empire of death. God bless the queen

It's ORT again, I'm afraid.
Seems he started on the shrooms early this week...

I recognized him thanks to his awful sense of punctuation.
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

If he'd stay in the SB it wouldn't be a problem...
Methinks his brain cells do a swift Brexit when he doesn't have work tomorrow due to a huge influx of illegal narcotics...
As long as he sticks to drug induced paranoid conspiracy theories he's OK - but at some point he normally becomes abusive which isn't.

And so the kicking starts.

Has he started the abuse already?
It normally takes him half a day to come down before he gets rude...
