Hi there hello from Scotland and great to see this "alternative" AMA. I think oxtails are hugely underrated and really enjoy them and put them in stews in the slow cooker to give them extra flavour. One bit that I find annoying is trying to take off the excess fat prior to cooking. I am surprised I have not cut myself yet when I do this. Do you have any tips in cutting off the excess fat on the oxtails?

Hi there, thanks for doing this and well done for using your knowledge to help charities, an idea which few would believe city types would give a second thought to. Is there anyone in the city that actually invests long term on any share as opposed to looking for short term gain. Leaving aside Warren Buffet, if someone came into work, then on the odd occasion (once every couple of weeks or months), made a buy or sell order how long would they last?

So why is it always stressed to Joe Public that investing is a long term game, when the professionals timescales are are short term and trade countless times during the day?

Good answer!

I belong to an investment club in the UK (with a group of friends). We meet monthly so our only trades are once a month unless our stop losses kick in. What are the key figures in any company report that you would look at to gauge if the company was worth buying shares in?

I take it then is the company in question has zero debt then this is the best debt structure a company can achieve?
