    I have been a member on this forum since it was first created about two years ago and have learnt a lot… a lot about people and information!

    Here is my conclusion:

    “You can give the BEST and most specific investing information to people yet only 1 to 2% of people will really do something about it.”

    See at first I reluctant to share “secrets” with other people, (like the best strategies, best places to buy in etc…).

    As an aside… the hardest thing to do is actually tell a forum where the best property spots are because you think that “10,000” investors are going to raid the place and nothing will be left for you. (discussing strategies is easier.)

    However I have noticed that this is ABSOLUTLEY wrong! If I say Cairns is a good spot, there are only a few people that can actually pack their bags and go to Cairns for a week in the first place. A lot of other people don’t even live close to Cairns and wouldn’t care anyway. And the “professional investors” will only buy 2 or 3 maybe 5 properties max, so that means that there will still be plenty to share…

    So this is my philosophy: ” Give the BEST info freely to people, because those that will do something with it (i.e. the 1 – 2%) deserve to know and those that won’t do anything about it have no excuse.”

    So this is what I propose. It would be good if Steve started two new forum topis:
    1) Investing Gems
    2) Valuable info for Newbies

    I will only discuss the Investing Gems for now…
    A lot of us come from different backgrounds and have a wealth of knowledge in different investing areas. (i.e. Property, shares, options, offshore, swiss annuities, whatever.)
    This forum would be a repository of the BEST investment information that one knows.

    Any thoughts, comments??

    Hi[:I] Good idea. I would like to see a column for newbies – with a bit of a key for the phrases as well. LOL, IPPO etc etc

    …with maybe a quick word about ethics and integrity!

    cheers.

    I agree! as a newbie my self I have very idea where to start. Get the book is the first step for me, then just take one step at a time!

    See my post in the General Investing Forum and you will see how new I am!!!….LOL
