Eddie Hobbs new Brendan Investments vehicle

The same can be said about the people posting heavily in favour of the product. What are their interests and qualifications? At least Liam and Brendan have the decency to post using his own names and I never thought they were giving advice in their professional capacities. The promoter himself has admitted posting on this site using an assumed name which he is quiet entitled to do but in my opinion is bad practice. Let Brendan Investements come on to this thread openly and refute all the arguments instead of hiding in the background making snide remarks about anyone that doesn't agree with them or come on and deny that they have been posting at all.

This thread is getting boring though. I won't be investing as I don't agree with their outlook on commercial property and I am not handing over 20% of the upside over such a low hurdle. I also don't agree with the involvement of Eddie Hobbs and the mass marketing. Its as simple as that.

I have already stated and I repeat now I am not in any way connected with the financial services industry. And, as I have also already stated, my only connection to Augusta is my investment in one of their previous funds. I don't appreciate being called a liar by someone who's bellyaching about defamation. I doubt Augusta would appreciate the implications of your comment for them either.

Anyone who wants can look back over my posts on this site on a wide variety of topics since the start of the year and consider whether they think they are really a part of a clever plan to create a cover story for myself before I began a hatchet job on BI.

I am not advising anyone to invest or not invest in BI, Augusta or anything else. I have just given my opinion, for what it's worth, and pointed out some facts which some other posters would prefer not to have highlighted.
 
The final irony is that Liam Ferguson afaik is not authorised by IFSRA to give advice on shares in a plc...

Well done Gomahawk - you're absolutely right for a change. I'm not authorised by IFSRA to give advice on shares in a plc. That's why I put the following into my very first post in this thread.

P.S. - As a Multi Agency Intermediary, I don't have an agency to sell this product so views epressed in this thread are personal.

Gom, that is defamation.:mad:

A general thought occurs to me. Many of the opinions in this thread are quite passionate. I can understand a variety of reasons why people in the anti camp would be that way. The infinitely more intense personalised reactions of the Hydra camp as in the above quote cannot be simply due to their independent professional assessment of the merits of BI.
 

I thinking exactly the same thing.
 
A sorry lot imho to be dishing out "advice" when none of you are actually authorised and, by extension recognised as having the competance to do so.

Come now Gomahawk, you're really grasping here. You know very well that most firms, including my own, chose which regulatory status to apply for based on the commercial realities which applied to them.

If an MAI firm chose not to apply for AA or other status for commercial reasons, it's ludicrous to try to imply that it had anything to do with competence.

That line in reasoning is so old it's dull as ditch-water. Many people, including one representative body tried to peddle the nonsense that AA status automatically denotes superior advice, but they had to change their tune.
 

What would you now do if three weeks ago you advised someone to invest in Brendan (authorisation aside) ?

For others : Could Riddler have hit the nail on the head weeks ago:
"One of the more interesting aspects of Brendan Investments is the disintermediation of the intermediary. It may well prove a test of investor maturity. Could this be at the heart of some of the "concerns" being expressed ?"

Oh Jayz, this Hydra is outa control!

I have no part in the mythical Hydra you refer to nor am I party to the Garradrimna Junior B hurling team and their hurlers on the ditch. Kruger is absolutley right in his request...it's high time Garradrimna residents got off their bar stools and went home.

I have just read the whole thread and I'm in no doubt that someone else had riddler's password - you do not fool me !

It is also obvious that people connected with BI have been posting but why would they bother ? Why would EH care what posters on AAM are saying ? The longer this thread goes on the more damage that will be done to their business.

What will happen to investors money if insufficient funds are raised ?

Close this thread.
 
Yeah - I'd say that the advocates of BI probably regret getting involved with
"the same nameless cranks ... on a website with nothing better to do most of the time, some of whom lead such sad existences they've posted tens of thousands of times"

After all, if they hadn't risen to the bait, the thread would probably have died out after a couple of posts. Instead it now ranks 2nd on Google, only preceded by the BI website itself.

That's the whole point. As I don't have authorisation to sell this product or give advice on it in a professional capacity, as I stated in the very first post on this thread, the views I have expressed are purely personal.

Because I can't professionally advise anyone to invest in this product, I'm free to learn about it as I go along, through the media and Askaboutmoney, just like any other consumer.
 
Jayz, Kap, I don't understand any of that, but I accept your bona fides that you are separate from the Hydra. Very sad.
 

I note there has been no response to this suggestion.

Indeed they are converse2007, indeed they are. And may I say that your name is more than just good. In fact it's great. By the way, I knew your father converse1933 well. He'd be very proud.
 
Ok close the thread then if you are tired of it all but I'll keep an eye for any future uninformed posts from unqualified people dressed up as "advice". I'll also keep an eye out for any further attempts at defamation how about that. Slan
 
Or how about...
