Difficult to differentiate in a market likely to become more marginal than it alreay is. There are plenty in Sydney (CBD) – some for gaming, some are combination coffee shops & eateries and as far as I can see very cheap – around $1 to $1.70 for half an hour of use.

Sorry DD, but no-one I’ve talked to thinks she is innocent.

We can’t enforce our rules and regulations on another country without invading them. Indonesia is a sovereign nation as far as I know and they are free to set whatever penalties they like for crime just as we are.

I think she was lucky she wasn’t sentenced to death – probably due to the…[Read more]

Hey Dazzling – I know people here in Sidanee who don’t like going west of Newtown – let alone over to East Africa.

It was a joke in case anyone was wondering – don’t want a posse of Sandgropers lobbing on my door in their clapped out HJ holden to give me a touch up [party]

I consider it East Africa

I’m not a lover of units but one development in the CBD has caught my eye.

It is built inside the facade of a beautiful sandstone church. They have been building for around 4 years now I think.

Wouldn’t it only apply to the portion below the 60k cap though?

So if I earn 55k and have a CG of 50k – only 5k of it is taxed at the lower rate?

Conditioning I think. We are conditioned that the process of buying a car requires several viewings and test drives. Buying a house requires a few visits and making an offer. Both can be emotional decisions.

Robert,

If you’d prefer not to have to do a six year part time Bachelor degree there may be another option open to you.

I’m not sure of your age/experience but I’d imagine you would qualify on both counts for entry to an MBA program even without the undergrad. Takes 2 years part time, and even though they are becoming quite common, still hold…[Read more]

Seminars don’t interest me, but I wouldn’t say they are all scams. I feel that they cater to the “professional student” category – learn and learn but never do.

More like a bad investment decision or poor ROI/IRR/ROCI – choose your own measure.

I think it would be fair to reduce the top marginal rate to 30% and scrap all neg gearing benefits.

All gains and income taxed at the marginal rate.

I do – you just missed the irony.

Exactly

Is it just me or is there a lot of genitalia measuring going on between some of the roosters on this site of late?

A’la

My portfolio is bigger than yours.

I have more experience than you.

My methods are best.

Love your work.

Now must get back to my nefarious scheme to take over the world……damn….didn’t mean to say that out loud.

Indeed people need to learn, but not everyone wishes to be a teacher. Some look for stimulating discussions with contempories rather than blind devotion and platitudes.

Could be that this forum is very biased towards CF+ and wraps as these were Steve’s tools of the trade. There’s only so many times people can be bothered answering “Where are all the CF+ IP’s?”.

Thanks Kay – nice to be appreciated, even if I am slightly obtuse for some people. [laughing]

I agree – let’s stop bad mouthing Adolf Hitler. 60 years is enough, he was just misunderstood and had short man syndrome.
