Comment by Keith Shaw on September 17, 2012 at 2:21pm: Can't believe someone would pay $10,000 for a couple of walnuts to polish and play with, I guess the extremely wealthy need something to spend their money on and keep themselves busy !

And look at these guys , modern day robin hoods (THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!), distributing their newly aquired wealth to the good folk of LA. You don't see the police chasing the bankers when they do their share of stealing do you ?

It would have been even more hilarious if they were throwing walnuts and tulips out of that car , what is the world coming to Francesc ;)

Comment by Peter jcp on September 17, 2012 at 2:25pm: Sounds really "nuts" to me Keith

Comment by Keith Shaw on September 17, 2012 at 3:21pm: It is totally nuts Peter and you don't get many of those for your pound !

Apparently the guys in that Volvo SUV, freely distributing their newly acquired to the good folk on the streets of LA were actually Forex Triaders, they got tired of institutions hunting their stops and stealing their money so they went and stole some back and it looks like they had a lot of support from the local retail crowd. wink*

Comment by Keith Shaw on September 17, 2012 at 4:35pm: Cheers James, sounds like the BOJ is jawboning the walnut market, you need to have big ones to touch the floor.
