I'm thinking about having a 20,000 square foot bunker built in my back garden and keeping all my money, in crisp fifty-pound-notes, in there.

I considered that as well, but decided discretion was the better part of valour.
If only I was registered with the FSA, or whoever it is, I'd offer you a nice little deal at somewhere around three over base; but I'm not, so I'm not allowed to.

That was my first thought as well. A quick profit to be made in a couple of months methinks when the shares return to their normal value

That is an interesting thought actually. How would we go about doing that?
