Depends whether you prefer the 1604 text Doctor Faustus - "Never too late, if Faustus can repent" or the 1616 version "Never too late, if Faustus will repent" ?

Is the devil a successful investor?

Coleridge is not clear on the subject:

"From his brimstone bed, at break of day, A-walking the Devil is gone, To look at his little snug farm of the world, and see how his stock went on."

P.S. Kiyo,  You've rumbled me. Unfortunately my fortune is tied up in Nigeria though and needs a third party to get it out. If you could just loan me a $1000 U.S.  ...

He must be one of those investors that get all upset if his profit margin doesn't meet expectations.

I would not trust in US$. It is ironic that the $-bills have to put their trust in god (despite all anti-trust laws).
Isn't money the root of all evil and therefore have a closer connection to the LOrd of this World?

For a moment there I thought that you were talking about the weakness of the dolar and the renovated strength of the Euro.

Why only for a moment? I predict that the old joke about the Ruble will be told about the US$:
The Ruble is now convertible to Pound and Dollar...1 pound of rubles equal 1$.

I think it's the "love" of money. A very close, deep and enduring friendship with money is OK.  Just look at the Vatican and Church of England.

Can't understand the stuff my self. Rumours of a further stock market slide next week despite  the fact the Chinese are about to spend $200bn of their trillions of  dollar reserves buying up investments round the World.

Everybody wants to invest, but nobody wants to invest in me.

Except my father, but he's not comfortable with the return interests.

He could invest in me instead - but I am probably past my sell by date.

What future is there in squid? Would you invest in squid futures?
Of course, if the prediction about sqibbons is correct...

OK, invest in squidlings instead.
