M.A. To give an asnwer to the poster will do him no good. We could publish a spreadsheet with all the seminars and thier value for money, seasonly adjusted, and include historic variations and currency exchange yet still people would winge about the “bad” seminar presenters and their “evil” illgotten gains. What would be the point of that?

Marc,

I am very interested in your opinion as to seminars that present themselves as providing the ‘secret to success’ or educational content and. when you get there, they just want to sell you property or some ridiculous ‘system’ that will ‘guarantee success’.

Yet another “seminars are scam” thread …[baaa]

I think that all seminars are a scam and all books are a scam and all teachers useless if they do not deliver to the person what he seeks. This of course being a totally subjective view.

So if I buy a Bentley and it does not fit in my garage it is a scam. Equally if I pay for a seminar and it…[Read more]

Interesting topic, someone said that to be all doom and gloom is a bad thing then went on to say that is a sad and bad world we live in.

First of all Sydney receives an influx of some 70,000 migrants a year, so much for people leaving
Its net migration that counts, if more people leave than arrive in Sydney then you have a net loss. More importantly, its young people who a leaving in droves. To quote from the Colebatch article: “(NSW) actually went backwards among the under-40s,…[Read more]

But its not doom and gloom about the economy! Lower housing prices are the best thing that could possibly happen to Sydney, it might stem the tide of people leaving the city because they can’t afford anything.

Robert, you reflect and magnify what you read in the media, what I say is that you have no real information only second hand propaganda, and no I don’t play the stock market, yet if I did, I clould have done a lot worst than subscribing to Rivkin advice.

I can see that there are plenty of “informed” people around here who are quick to judge on the basis of their “information”.

Unfortunately your sources are biased and are paid to make headlines in order to sell you Coca Cola and McDonalds and make you belief you now know it all.

Reality is somehow different and when the misinformation bosses…[Read more]

All this ideas are good. Olives grow almost anywhere it is a matter of choosing the appropriate variety, a fish-farm is good too but unlike a few trees planted and left to grow, it is a capital and labour intensive industry, think several hundred of thousands just to get started.

Ha ha Rod that’s a good question. You will find that most people are quick to describe their victories but slow to admit their failures. However the string of failures that precede success are necessary and a valuable part of the success process.

Hi Rodsway, despite the wording, I like your post. [meaning, you are rude and imprudent but I see potential somewhere] Prosperity comes to the one that seek it convinced that it is a matter of fact. Of course such attitude is not all that is needed but it helps.

Like in a football match, in the economy there are two team of players, a referee and lots of public. Players come in all shape and form, some are better than others, some get hurt, even killed, yet they have something in common. They all play.
